Brexit going forward: Who are the winners and losers? | DW News 

But the UK got sovereignty... right? Now, you are your own boss...

Exactly. Britain has declared a trade war....with itself!

@@i_fuk_religion yeah .... all that for it's own sovereignty aka not to have eu law they signed against anyway and to copy/paste eu law that well .... they need anyway when it come to ban bad stuff, make sure not to ruin they fish reserve (quota) and so on such a great sovereignty i'm sure all the fisher in uk love it xD

Not really, the sanctions were being in the EU, we are now free in the world which is a much bigger market than the EU by a ratio of 86:14.

Part of the joys of being part of the UK

We all know it, it's sad... In fact Northern part wanted also to became independent and became part of EU, as they didn't support Brexit...

Be grateful the U.K. had a vote in leaving the EU .

When you are a small population the majority vote counts.

@@namonamo494 the NHS has had boosts of far more than quoted Mostly to cover COVID but lots of hospitals have been expanded and refurbished as a result so Yes it did happen Not because of the bull snot on the bus or because of leaving the EU Not one person here see's any positive reason leaving was good The amount of EX-bremainers that have told me they feared leaving but afterwards they didn't notice a difference in any area other than inflation which is a result of the sanctions war going on with Russia And the American economy that biden royally fooked up meaning any that had loans in the USD had inflation on top of other inflation I work in the takeaway industry and it's NEVER BEEN BUSIER I'm not talking cheaper places like MC Donalds It's a cost of living crisis NOBODY HAS HAD CRISIS WITH During the time you speak of The living wage and the minimum wage have never been closer. NEVER THE UK has spent more than any other EU nation on future energy security Oil refineries have had the largest hydrogen generators worldwide installed to generate hydrogen from excess wind energy currently being sold to France The nitrogen will then be fed to the many gas power stations we already have because using hydrogen only pollutes the world with water and oxygen The internet has had a nation BACKED upgrade to fiber to the house saving everyone who upgraded at least £15 a month on line rental that is no longer needed I went from 30Mbps for £35 PM to 500Mbps for £20 PM THE UK HAS MASSIVELY profited from not being part of the anti competition rules from the EU And relations with individual EU members will only grow now we have less red tape Regardless to any of that the main reason we have benefited is that our children etc will have a say on the laws that restrict their own freedom and not everyone on the continent that may well have different needs

And Luke says he can't it's to big. " Don't try, either do or do not ! When Luke fails. Yoda points out that it's not the size of the object that matters but whether you in truth believe in yourself. That's the hardest part for most people even when they have a clear goal. Have a look at the people I mentioned. I hope that helps ? Might just be annoying : ) Might change your life. There is only action, do or do not. whatever you you do you must believe in yourself.

Genuinely interested because all that's being seen (even on conservative Brit newspapers) is food shortages in Britain, jobs leaving the UK, lower GDP, higher trade deficit, Brits having troubles abroad in the EU and renewed separatism in NI and Scotland. If I was a Scot, putting up a few customs posts is looking increasingly attractive to return to the world's biggest trade bloc and leaving England to their mess.

For now there is a la our shortage that needs to be adjusted for. It will be a year or so before that has happened, so for now everything will seem pretty good.

Brexit was never like a divorce. The EU kept saying that it didn't want the UK to leave and the EU doesn't have to divide up its assets and give the UK half, so not a divorce going on at all.

Nonsense. Britain loses out, becomes a small insignificant island grouping off the coast of mainland Europe. Europeans are more likely to pity the British than agree with them. As shown in the report, some EU countries have gained from brexit, but what has the UK gained? I'm still waiting to hear/see/read any benefit whatsoever from brexit for the UK. Keep in mind the lies told (no more red tape) and the manoeuvres used (Cambridge Analytica) to accomplish the hood-winking of enough uneducated or greedy or xenophobic brits. What was the real purpose of brexit? In my opinion it was to try to weaken the EU and cause chaos in the UK. It has worked perfectly where the UK is concerned, but I think, as the man said, the UK is a shining example of leaving a good situation and entering a terrible one and therefore an excellent deterrent to any other EU country. It's much better to be in the club than outside the club.

Well you have less of yours, as the EU has cut down your quotas, but Spain is benefiting, they are better at hiding the quota cheating, hidden fish holds, to help protect the fish stocks 😂 is your fishing fleet getting bigger or smaller? 🤔 Your fish stocks will be.

😂

The fish stocks will be protected against the factory ship's, the fish stocks will be managed by the UK. Looking at the Mediterranean sea, the EU is ignoring the problems, one day the fish stocks will disappear. Moving onto Irish fish stocks next. We'll not be able to sell you any 😂

It was about control of the borders not waters alone. If Cameron had been listened too by Brussels perhaps the referendum would have gone the other way.

The EU is currently over fishing 😂 so eventually you'll have no fish stocks. The UK fish stocks will not go away, the UK fishing fleet is small. So what exactly are we going to lose? If the Russians cross the border? Shall we stay at home and let the EU sort out terms with the Russians? 😂

@@niklas5923 I meant they have no voting power except the Scottish whom are part of the UK. Well, who gain or lose they cannot complain since UK was given a choice & voted (even tho I feel the general public got the decepted by the politians of actual deals).

Not just Independent Scotland include United Ireland.

@@niklas5923 You must be kidding right. China caught up with you and left you behind so far you cant even see them. Whole europe got weak, not just the british and not because of foreign powers.

@TheNewblackdog pitiful

negotiating buddy, both sides did it. Macron did not want to lose French fishing - big publicity at home. Johnson threatening no deal and asking for a lot, helped to get the good deal we got in all issues. Still get more fishing than before BTW. Project fear predictions - came to nothing.

We just saved billions, and the EU vaccine programme? UK has vaccinated more than the whole of Europe. Its a lie stop pedalling it.

@@dotdashdotdash Thats not really due to brexit more just the UK ordered there vaccines first

@@dougo3592 if we stayed in the EU we could not have ordered our own vaccines. The EU is in charge of ordering them for the entire bloc. So BREXIT is the reason our vaccinations are going so well!

@@jamess9232 unfortunately this is not quite correct that we have vaccinated more people - the vaccine is a two stage (two jab) system - Germany in fact has per capita head inoculated (two jab) more people than the UK. Just simple facts that can be easily verified

Builders our wages have gone up about 25% . I still don't think it's worth it but yea tradesmen have a lot more money than we had before. There's so many jobs we can be super picky.

All the privileges with none of the costs of membership were promised by the Brexit campaign. Can't blame the EU for not giving what someone else promised that they would on their behalf. EU offer never changed.

@@Hession0Drasha Screw the EU , no vaccine and stuck in lockdown until 2024 oops ...

@@curtisducati If the UK permanently leaves lockdown first, it will only be 2 or 3 months difference. Wait and see. As long as the torries don't have mandatory quarantine at the borders, the UK can be reinfected with a new strain, vaccine or no.

"We are with Europe but not of it; we are linked but not compromised. We are associated but not absorbed. If Britain must choose between Europe and the open sea, she must always choose the open sea.” Winston Churchill

@@2394Joseph the problem with that is britian doesn't have open Sea,s anymore .

@@ryanhuntrajput474 No country has open seas - that's the definition of open seas!

@@2394Joseph One has to understand the context of this quote. At the time the British Navy was the second largest in the world and Britain still had an Empire, both of wich are not curently achived or even achivable.

@@Somajsibere That is not correct. Churchill was speaking both literally and also metaphorically, nothing to do with the navy. The “open sea” meant to have no impediments or burdens and be able to deal with any dangers or situations that may arise within Europe on our terms rather than be tied to them in any way shape or form. That is exactly what the UK has now done.

Yes, Treasure your unaccountable masters. Treasure Guy Verhofstadt.

The best thing in all of this is that we won't be shackled down by the UK who were never true Europeans anyway. British people get their Brexit and everyone wins, sort of.

@@icebox1954 There ancestors come from Europe.

Out of curiosity, how many UK citizens decided to stay in the EU?

@@DG-ew9wb I have know idea, Google it, the point I'm making is these kind of facts just aren't discussed to try and give the idea that everything brexit it terrible. There's good and bad on both sides, just don't believe everything from one side.

@ionut2790 thanks dude😂

@ionut2790 correct...that is why the UK has agreed free trade deals with the EU and other countries.

Of course this has been reported. It has regularly been reported how many people applied for settled Status. But what exactly does that prove? Sure some might be super happy in the UK, but for many it won't be about politics but the fact that over the Last decades the UK has become their home. They have houses, partners, Jobs, Friends, etc. in the UK and it takes a lot to leave all that behind. And yet, many have done just that.

And lose access to Norwegian waters, where the fish we like live.

No, it's no control of UK waters and no market for the catch😂

well are there any facts and figures youd like to dispute with your own sources? what about a trillion quid leaving the city? or car jobs going abroad? or a hundred thousand job shortages in the NHS? get back to us in a year or two and let us know how "taking back control" is going ben...

The whole brexit chaos brought the member states further together. More people than ever recognise the deep sense of European unity. In my view brexit (together with the surreal behaviour of Trump) did a great job for the ever deeper union. The 21st century will see a real pan-european statehood, rather sooner than later.

The EU was never a threat to the US and now the Americans have lost their conduit and main influencer in the EU. The winners are China and Russia.

@@taintabird23well, I only know that the US has been super supportive to the UK for Brexit.

The US? Do you mean the crumbling empire with staggering wealth inequality?

@@cninusa Trump was super supportive of Brexit. The Republican party see the social democracy of the EU as a threat, while its unity serves as threat to its economic hegemony. The Democrats have a different attitude, and support multi-lateralism and don't identify with the values of Brexit. Biden is a Democrat.

Yep, the British heretics are gone, and the building of the Fourth Reich can really start.

and so the eu experiment can continue ...good luck

LOL The EU will start to crumble now the UK cash cow has gone.

@@Urko2005 I don't know mate. All I'm seeing is the EU getting stronger and the Scottish demanding independence.

Charles DeGaulle, from the grave: "told you so!"

Shly Hoit, the point was being made that big rich farmers will benefit from Brexit but smaller family farmers will loose out. Doesn't matter who voted what the outcome does not change.

@@waltermcphee3787 so, majority of the farmers are rich because they voted for Brexit? I’m neither British nor for Brexit, but I am very skeptical when the “news” present only one side of the story. It seems like brainwashing to me. To subvert democracies, simply manipulate the masses by controlling the information they consume, and use social shame and ridicule to shut down dissent. Ever notice that someone who wants preserve European culture are now painted as far right?

@@JackZeroZ the majority of farmers are not rich but voted for Brexit which will harm their business. There was 3 farmers represented.

@@waltermcphee3787 according to DW yes. Has DW gone through the trouble of hearing the farmers voices representing the majority? This is classic confirmation bias.

Once again, there was not just one single farmer who had one single opinion. You were just not listening. Even one who still thinks it was a good move was shown here. Plus 'most farmers' does not mean 'all but one'. And like often enough was said in the past years, many voted yes according to promises that (supposedly) been made, of which many would have voted differently afterwards and probably even more today.

And cheap British labour, which was most of it, and working single mums, people like that.

That wasn’t the EU forcing the British government to do that.

Second

The tax loophole

The financial aspect of London; ‘the square mile’ traditionally focused around the Bank of England, and the old trading and commerce heart of the former core of Britain’s economy. That small area, stuffed full of Suits and businesspeople and skyscrapers - at least until Covid - is The City of London, with the sprawling other 95% of the city being just London.

The latter where even The Queen needed permission to enter.... lolz

The tax loophole

Excellent post.

Except the UK isn't struggling to stay united at all and only the delusion in the EU grows. Let me know where this level playing field is, or ECJ overruling UK law.

@@0penminds let me know when the UK put itself together, after 3 extensions and 3 PMs since the vote just 4 years ago.

Excellent synopsis

@@lanvin1982 It is together thanks, unlike the small group of consistant remoaners, most people in the UK can accept a result and move on, hence the 80 seat majority the government currently has. We are out of the EU, time to look forward and move on.

Looks like it. The girl was signing about Theresa May - she was replaced by Boris in 2019.

maybe it was. Maybe it wasn't. Let's focus on current situation. And with 70.000 dead it does not look great. Add Brexit to it. Is it good??

It's about the history of brexit since 2016 and what will probably come out of it.

To be honest it looked it. Out-dated and a metaphor for the EU. Honest it parts but at best naiéve in others. Coverage in Scotland and Belfast but surprisingly little in powerful Brexit areas (though perhaps not that surprising as EU then and even still doesn't really understand those areas and perhaps ensured the result. They should have got out of London more). Even the media-types in tge UK didn't get out of London enough, burying their heads in the earth. The morning of the Referendum result the price of sterling dropped like a stone. If they had done their homework properly they would have factored it in. Too London-centric by half. The Labour MP's who saw clearly and were harbingers, Caroline Flint, Gisela Stuart, Kate Hoey and John Mann were dismissed as of no account by the dinosaur Labour Party who had taken their heartland voters for granted too often.

But the UK got sovereignty... right? Now, you are your own boss...

@Angit Nagpal Are you a bot? You're leaving the same comment everywhere

@@PeteBlakemore Y’all banks are broke and you still have war debts to pay to America.

What I say

Except outside powers like the US, China, Russia, India. The UK on its own and the EU without one of their strongest members are both in a weaker position. They can't negotiate as hard for trade deals, and they can't put as much pressure on others with regards to human rights for example. I bet Brexit was celebrated behind many closed doors. Brexiteers are celebrating with them even though Brexit has put the UK in a weaker position.

@@dotdashdotdash ohhh vaccination, a term highly pushed by media to cover all other aspects... let's pretend for a second that the pandemic never occurred or is solved in the future months and talk about the facts: -you lost companies -you lost money -you are about to lose essential workers because the UK is no longer an open border, and with new rules, you are about to lose an estimated 32 -35% (~500 000) in a matter of months. I am talking about vast areas from unqualified workers to engineers, nurses, doctors, economists, etc. The problem is that you see only what your media let you see. I am from Romania, and I have 0 interest in your future on what is happening there but try to answer a question I was asked by one of my friends that returned to Romania only to go to Denmark. "In a country where the native average people are not interested in any salubrity, construction, farming, logistic or maintenance jobs, once that half of us (continent people) leave them, who will replace us ?" You leave the EU, congratulation, but the worst is yet to come. And I am only hoping that the time will prove me wrong. Good luck!

@@dotdashdotdash another misinformation ..for the total number of immigrants only ~450 000 are Romanians, the number is rising several million for the total number of immigrants not only Romanians. So Please let me know how you came with this number. And about Ursula von der Leyen...no I did not vote for her I vote for the European parliament her naming is that position is similar to the prime minister position which is chosen by the running party.
