@Ron S, I believe I can answer that. Foreigners tend to come from places where daily needs are harder to come by.

You work, you pay your bills, you buy some clothes, maybe a car or a house, live content and happy. And the dude next door watching starts getting jealous of your possessions. He doesn't care how hard you work, where you come from or how bad you had it before. All it matters for such individual is the 150 quid he spent at the pub on Friday, whilst watching the footie, and how skint he is for the rest of the week. Come Friday, do it again. Until his precious wife finds a dude that ends up being a hard working family man that just so happens, came from another nation. I didn't meet many hard working brits that had this feeling towards foreigners, just the low class, Stella drinking 8am at the jobcentre door, never worked 2 days in a row, uneducated and benefit claiming ones. I think this overview basically covers it.

If you don't know what good or bad something does for you, you should not have the right to vote. In no other field than politics amateurs are asked every 4 years for their opinion. That is insane. When did your local hospital contact you and asked you whether you're still okay with their methods of doing brain surgery? When did the local fire chief call you asking for your input in terms of firefighting? Amateurs should not have a say in politics. You want to have a say? Then here is the current citizen test. If you pass it and can prove that you have at least a basic knowledge of politics, the parties and their programs, you can vote.

I don't think that your comment is really giving the EU enough credit - on a technical level, what the EU has achieved in aligning the rules and processes across nearly 30 countries so that trade between them can be significantly smoothed is essentially without precedent in history (it has happened within empires and such like before, but not really without someone basically conquering everyone and saying "now we're doing it my way!"). The EU's single market is a modern marvel that is the result of decades of tireless work to make things more efficient for all of its members and we unilaterally decided to cut ourselves off from its benefits based on xenophobia and idiocy.

As someone with a Masters Degree in EU Politics I weighed up the options on the table and spent weeks of indecision wondering whether leaving the EU would achieve my goals. My primary concern was the desertification of our coastal waters and the frankly rude treatment of Sea Angling industry, by Franz Fischler, in re-growing fish stocks in British Sovereign waters. I read everything I could but what made up my mind was talking with people I love and trust. They made me see that my small concern, leaving the CFP, was only a small part of our economy and EU politics. I was a Remainer, who flirted with leaving but returned to supporting the EU. So, "we" and "you"... I found leaving or remaining a question that for me wasn't a binary choice but that was what I was being presented with. I am concerned that this, frankly, fucking mess we have been dumped into has presented us with straight forward identity politics decision made to divide and hurt our polity. People now see their identity as "Remainer" or "Fukwit" more strongly than they feel Labour or Tory. I was told recently, that the 3rd most powerful indicator of whether you voted Remain or Leave is whether you enjoy "Mrs Brown's Boys". So for myself, I know I have been used politically by a government whose only values is power for itself and I know that "Leavers" have been worked upon just as I have. So Mr Harris, the conclusion to my story is that we have all been harmed by our Government and state. The Gov, the BBC, all our media lied and manipulated us all...all of us hurt by them. I could rant on about us becoming a Democracy whilst we are outside the EU but I hope you take my point. Best Wishes Mr Harris to U and Urs.

As an HGV Driver before the "open borders" came in, I have sat in Dover several times for over 24 hours, and often in Customs clearing in Italy, Portugal and France and Spain for 6 or more hours regularly. With the open borders you just need a CMR delivery note, and never get stopped by customs, except in the UK with customs searching for booze, cigarettes and drugs, which was fine. And now the UK has gone back to T1's/T2's;Invoices, carnets and allthe other confusing paperwork! I told several people that that was would happen, along with all the delays. Thank God I had moved to workand reside in Denmark!

100% karma on members of Road Haulage Association, National Farmers Union and Fishermen. They all dismissed the genuine concerns as 'project fear'. 0% Sympathy from me I'm afraid, for the 8 years of insults.

This all stems from an "us" vs "them" mentality. Other nations are "other," we are better. We don't need anyone. We can stand on our own. We'll show you how great we can be on our own. Unless you manufacture/produce every single good imaginable on your own soil, how you still live life with this mentality is beyond me. Anyone who did not see this coming was a fool. This is what nationalism gets you. At the end of the day, no country is better than another because the people who inhabit one hunk of land aren't better than the people who inhabit another. Everyone contributes to the life you lead every day. Yes, even people on another land mass thousands of miles away. Want that to change? Change the life you lead and TRULY become independent. That won't happen, because they want change without really understanding how change actually looks and what it actually entails. THEY don't want their lives to change, they just want the nostalgia of perceived superiority. Kind of like the bigots here in the U.S. They swear they want war (another civil war) to reclaim a past they are nostalgic for without really understanding the past or being honest about it. They want the nostalgia of their perceived superiority. They don't connect the dots that they lost the last civil war, they lost each and every attempt establishing the world they envisioned and people who believe what they do ALWAYS lose and always usher in a more liberal society in their wake. But yet, they keep trying, because letting go of their perceived superiority will leave them with nothing. When we all let go of these faux nationalistic ideologies and stop believing we are better than others because of a pre-determined pedigree, or because we happened to be born on a particular hunk of land, when we all realize that we all contribute to each other's lives, we can actually work together for everyone's betterment. Until then, decisions such as this will be made and people will suffer for them.

Just because they got something, doesn't mean you lost something. And if there are means to give something to some people, without taking an equal amount from others, that is a net again for the society whole, and chances are it will come around and benefit you as well. But eh, why bother with thinking a thing through when one can instead just jump to conclusions and enjoy the endorphine rush from self-justified outrage.

The very first seconds of the video really scared me until I've realised that in Britain they normally drive on left side of the road.

I don't think he meant as him or his industry but more like the government and the country wanted Brexit, not them.

Bit thick these people. We were in the eu and could drive from the northern tip of scotland to the far end of Greece and from Poland ,Latvia and the Russian border to Portugal with hardly a hitch give or take a ferry or two. We aren't in the eu anymore. We have to fill in whatever paperwork and follow whatever rules they devise for non member states. What don't these people understand?

"What don't these people understand?"... all of what you just said!

We have the same problem in the US , Trump supporters want to close the country to the world.

I live in Germany. Working as a freight haulier. Till 2016 my trucks went often to UK. Now I even refuse to take any freights from or to UK. Last year one of my subcontractors stuck in Calais, cause our customer did not prepare documents for customs correct, 14 hours waiting. In Germany it was a holiday and I had to stay in office for this single truck. At the end we made it to Birmingham. My customer unloaded truck and had to work whole night to get ready with work till next morning. Exhibition center in Birmingham, some tool exhibition. Way back, our subcontractor should cross the channel and go dircetly to Madrid, same shit again, this time EORI- number of customer was not valid or the customs control did not accept. Driver could cross with 8 hours delay and we lost so much time, so we send another truck from Germany to Madrid to the fair and the truck from UK has to be sent to Germany, cause he wouldn´t make it in time. If you want to send one palet with some agricultural stuff to UK you need 8 sheets of paper in advance before something will be picked up. I hate this traffic so much now. Customers do not accept high costs, but we have to spend so much time to prepare everything so we have to raise prices for UK freights massively. In my opinion, it was a big mistake of the britains to leave the EU. Guess the price they pay is much higher than they expected. Mr. Johnson will get his salary, he will not end in jail, equal which shit he told the citizens over there.

Zero sympathy for all who voted for Brexit and against their own best interest.

In Italy we say: "everyone is gay with others a**". That means that if you risk nothing of yourself, it's easy to be that brave. At the same way, it was easy to vote for the Brexit while thinking that nothing would have affected their life... But they didn't realized that that wasn't the case. So now they discover what means to be "f*cked". 😅 Sorry for the francesism but... It just make things more vivid.

Irish Govt ran Import and export week end courses so truckers, importers,exporters, manufacturers,etc. were ready for Brexshit. We export 90% of what we produce, so very necessary to be ready for Brexshit. Govt also invested in sea ports. We go long way round to European Union markets. It is the fastest way to go. Carry on up the Brexshit

I can't believe lorry drivers voted for Brexit. Having listened to the guy talking about how the government should have made Brexit less painful, he still does not understand Brexit or what it means. The only way the government could have made it less painful is to have stayed in the customs union or the single market, but the government wanted a hard Brexit and the people voted Boris in knowing he was going for a hard Brexit. In fact it could have been even worse if Boris had not agreed a trade deal with the EU, as then there would be tariffs to pay too. Some people just think the government was not hard enough, but it's like exiting a club and expecting all the benefits of the club without being a member, then thinking you would have got your way if only you'd threatened, blackmailed or beaten up the club secretary.

Agreed. To this day, I don’t know why they left the customs union even if they wanted to be independent of Brussels.

Never vote with emotions. Never make decisions by listening to your emotions.

These people didn't know what they voted for basically. Supremely idiotic.

What suprised me, that even a haulier wasn't aware of the regulations of moving goods in and out of a third country. And then voting for to be a third country? Never picked up a load in a port from UD or China? Never made a trip into Switzerland? But no Minister could have changed the rules, cause they are agreed at the WTO. No one can change them easily, not even the exceptional and sovereign empire loving brexeteers

It's called being responsible for your own actions. Claiming ignorance is not an excuse. You must all enjoy what you voted for. Not sorry for any of you at all!

"I feel like we've been hung dry". No. You got what you likely voted for.

And this is why you don't put complex international treaties to a simple vote.

In the case of Johnson he was just ignorant re' Economics (as post Boris Government discussions with civil servants etc have revealed) and is a shameless narcissist , but the wider 'reason' the Conservative Establishment wanted out of the EEC is that the 'Eton Class' was having to give up its 'rightful, god-given' power to a European meritocracy.

This is like when you buy a tiger and are surprised when it wants to eat you.

This is why you dont let the normal/low educated/worker class people decide the fate of a country.
