Brits regret voting for Brexit, four years on since Britain left the EU 

"don't care I've got me pension" what a patriot 😂

1:10 "I don't care what happens now, I've got my pension" has never summed up a generation so succinctly

"Getting ripped left, right and center by countries on the continent". The UK had the most generous membership conditions of any european country...

As someone who's from an EU country, when these people say they have been lied to I can't help but think "We literally told you so, and you didn't listen!".

The guy who hates Germany wears an Adidas jacket 😂😂😂 (German brand)

The bloke who said 'I'm too old to Care' annoyed me. I'm old too, but we should all care about what sort of a country we are leaving as a legacy to the young!

As a French citizen, I find it annoying that this guy says that France and Germany run the EU, because the UK has always chosen not to get more involved in the EU. Ultimately, it was always the choice of the leaders of the UK to obstruct rather than build. This is exactly why De Gaulle (De Gaulle, you know, so so long ago! I wasn't breathing yet when he was in charge) was not in favor of the UK joining the EEC (he "predicted" this attitude then), or whatever it was called, at the time. Anyway, whatever...

I originally come from Poland, I have been living in the UK for 15 years, in my opinion the UK will soon be a poorer country than Poland, no education, no investment in infrastructure, no idea for reforms. After the referendum, several people with British passports asked me how Brexit will affect you - I replied: it will not affect me, but it will have a huge impact on you. I can still move to any other country in the European Union.

The lady who said "you never know when you might become an immigrant yourself" is spot on

"We have been shafted by France and Germany until Brexit. Because of Brexit, we are now being shafted by France and Germany." Good to have someone to blame.

“I’m too old to care” then please never vote again.

What I find frustrating is them being like “we were lied to” yes, we told you this! We warned people they were being lied to and they turned around and denied it. Heck, I was too young at the time to vote and I knew it was all lies!

That guy: 'Germany, France never liked them, never done..' Read: 'Never been there , know nothing about it '

One woman said, “the government lied to us”, completely forgetting that the Cameron government advised people to vote remain!

Beautifully how the old people voted for Brexit and destroyed the future of their own kids. Shameful 🤢

As an Italian I've noticed that a lot of European were going to UK for studies and summer language courses, that was a big slice of UK economy and opportunities, today after Brexit is a lot more complicated.

A massive brexit benefit was avoidance of eu money laundering laws……… well it was a benefit for tories addicted to Russian money

Guy with 'Adidas' jacket on : " I don't like France and Germany. Never have and never will...." Who's going to tell him?

Us young people knew it was all a lie. But now we are going to have to live with the consequences of your actions.

Why is it that the very same people who say " at least we're in charge of our own destiny now" refuse to allow Scotland to do the same 🤷

You were all told the truth. The Remain Campaign repeatedly warned of the consequences of Brexit. You chose to believe the lies, and now have to live with the consequences of that choice.

"I've got my pension I can live quite happily on it" The doom of UK right there in that statement.

4:22 Talking against France and *Germany* when wearing an *adidas* jacket. Well done, sir!

Where does that dude who hates France and Germany think the Normans and Anglo Saxons came from?

That man is really hung up on France and Germany.

The lady talking about mental health issues really got me. I am an EU citizen, successfully studied and trained in the UK to work as a psychologist. But I cannot get back into the UK under current visa regulations and pay schemes. Due to psychologists being on the shortage worker lists they can be paid only 80% of the minimum wages to qualify for a visa. A bonus for companies, not necessarily for the employee. With current costs of living in larger cities (where sponsorship is often more likely) that would work if I were still in my mid 20's, went into room shares, had a short commute and only lived to work. But it just does not work if there is family involved. My husband, a mechanical engineer, would have to anticipate a pay cut of around 50% if he went to the UK as a skilled worker. I am now employed part-time as a psychologist in Germany and get more than double of what a full-time clinical psychologist job in the UK would pay. Even with the more excessive taxes in Germany on salaries, it is still worth it. I am also self-employed, something that would be impossible in the UK without settlement status. Still, if the UK manages to someday be an attractive place to live and work again, we may move back.

They were lied to by ONE SIDE! Plenty of people on the other side warned them of these lies but the didn’t or wouldn’t listen!

"I wanted to be in control". Remember dear people being interviewed: Whether we are in or out of the EU, YOU ARE NOT THE ONES CONTROLING THE COUNTRY.

Love the, 'I've got my pension, so I don't care' guy. Classic.

Maybe it's just me, but I could've sworn these people were warned about what a disaster Brexit was going to be, and they laughed at us ...... suckers. I left. Now in Malta. Much happier.

I just want to hug that black woman. She is telling it like it is. It's heartbreaking

Ironically the pleasant ladies - one black, one with Eastern European accent (the type of people that a lot of Brexit voters are afraid of) speak the most sense

This guy doesn’t even know where Germany and France are…

If you quit Netflix...do you expect netflix to work still?

At least we're in charge of our own destiny now ... very well said by the first gentleman. You are free to drill holes into your boat. But at least you own the holes.

Aww... if only there had been countless experts and millions of ordinary people warning against Brexit at the time of the referendum...

To the bloke being annoyed by France and Germany: we don’t miss you either. Cheers 🇫🇷🤝🇩🇪🤝🇪🇺

I left the country in November 2016 and never looked back. Everything I predicted has come true. AH WELL

"The EU is run by Germany and France" sums up the complete lack of knowledge regarding the EU... I've taken to calling anyone who still supports Brexit a Brexitard....

"I'm too old to care whether we go back or go forward . I have my pension. I can live quite happily on it". This is the "I'm all right Jack" mentality which helped get us into this mess in the first place. I wonder if this chap has kids, grandkids, nephews, nieces or friends and neighbours with children? Because even if he feels he is too old to act on his own behalf, it's telling he will not act on behalf of those younger than himself.

"we were being shafted by Germany and France", insane viewpoint.

Even me, who lives across the atlantic, knew that voting to leave the EU was a mistake. So, too too bad for you all. You made your bed, now sleep in it.

If you'd just have LISTENED, plenty of people told you before the vote that these exact things would happen.

“At least we are in charge of our own destiny” The last words of the captain of a sinking ship whilst the band plays on.

Old people who voted to take the right of young people (freedom of movement etc) should feel shame. They lived their lives in the EU getting rich and then pull it out from under the rest of us.

Even 8 years later and the levels of ignorance and stupidity are still epic

Brexit came about because of two main reasons. Politicians lied and voters couldn’t be bothered to think about it. You get the government you deserve.

I love this for them. They believed Boris Johnson and now Boris acts like they don’t exist.

I had a huge paragraph of a comment that I rather resume in a small sentence: The fact that old xenophobes decided the worst possible destiny for their youth is criminal.

The most informed and articulate was the woman who had English as a 2nd language. Says it all 🤔

Ah. The Brits. They're the prime example of the guy on bicycle sabotaging himself meme... 😂😂😂😂

It wasn't so much that they were lied to, it was the accepting of the lies as truth.

As an european we don't want the UK back. That ship has sailed and getting them back would only do more harm than good: other european countries could threaten to leave the block knowing that in the future, if things don't work out as planned, they could be reinstated, destabilizing the union. Thank you for having bit the bullet for us.

"I hate Germany and France I never liked them," This is what you get if you only read tabloids. Do they realize how the UK was perceived by other EU countries? The United Kingdom had certain opt-outs and special arrangements within the EU. Notably, the UK was not part of the Eurozone, retaining its own currency (the pound). Additionally, it had an opt-out from the Schengen Agreement, maintaining border controls. The UK also negotiated a rebate on its financial contributions to the EU budget. These privileges reflected specific agreements and concessions made during the UK's EU membership. If the UK ever wanted to rejoin the EU they'll never get these privileges back. No system is perfect, the world has changed and the impact you have as an European country globally has diminished significantly. Cooperation within Europe has become vital. The more European countries work together the stronger they are globally. The UK is not an exception to that.

In 2024 there are people that still think in terms of the British empire I don’t know it is comical or sad

3:06 "I also felt we were being shafted by, the honest truth, Germany and France. They run Europe."

The most eloquent conversationalist in this entire piece, was the Eastern European nurse. English is her second language. Sort of says it all really.

Shoutout to the lady who was so honest about her struggles. Breaks my heart, hope things will be better soon.

It amazes me that people have only just realized they were lied to. Boris was a proven liar. Why did they believe him in the first place? They only have themselves to blame.

Tories lying? This is unprecedented...

I am polish originally, have my business family here in London and tell you one thing, each time I am going to see my family I can see improvements everywhere, standards are so much higher , everywhere is so clean , international companies opening new branches or HQ-s and the only obvious reason why is like that is that poland is in EU.

The Eastern European nurse said it SPOT ON!

"At least we're in charge of our own destiny now....I've got me pension."

Imagine voting against your own self interest

The way Adidas man's argument gets narrower and narrower until we get "I just don't like France and Germany"

This isn't the Brexit that Leave voters thought they'd voted for but it's exactly the Brexit that the Remain side voted against. Every prediction the Remain side made during the referendum have come true, project fear is project here.

It’s crazy some of these adults can’t actually string a coherent sentence together lol

Britain has to come to terms with the loss of its empire. It took Spain two centuries to accept the loss of theirs. It's going to be a long journey and it's not going to be pretty. Instead of trying to have some influence in the EU, the UK decided to isolate themselves like a spoilt brat. It's chickens coming home to roost.

You let them lie to you because they told you what you wanted to hear... Or maybe you just didn't put much thought into it... The one man said it perfectly, he doesn't care either way now because he thinks he's taken care and could care less about other people...

Nothing was missold. You have access to information, you voted, you got what you deserve.

We are in charge of our own destruction...marvellous.

If only there had been some kind of national campaign where people warned loudly about these facts.

*IVE GOT ME PENSION - I DONT CARE*

How could people NOT see this coming?

Regret supporting Ukraine. Brexit is fine

The problem was that most of the people don't remember what it was like before the UK was in the EU. So most people were totally ignorant and they were voting on something that knew almost nothing about.

In an age of information ignorance is a choice

As a German at the time of the Brexit I did understand the patriotic British mindset bc Germany and France do have a lot to say in the EU because they contribute the most to it (by far). But that didn’t mean that Britain didn’t have a say in everything, they got so so many exceptions and new rules made for them within the EU just because they’re Britain. They literally had the most generous membership of any EU country and still decided to leave so I don’t really feel pity for them. I do however feel sorry for countries within the UK like Scotland where I feel like decisions are being made “above their heads“ so to say.

Poor souls... they got lied to and still today have not registered it was all a con.

"You never know in this life someday you'll become an immigrant".💯 My 60 year old Father in law was a staunch UKIP and Brexit supporter even canvassed for them. He recently separated from his second wife and guess what he's now an immigrant sorry an EXPAT living in Cyprus in a 2 bed flat with his best mate.

I like British comedy ! "there is no benefit, it is a disaster, but at least we have choosen our own future !

Einstein said once: "The universe and the stupitidy of humans are endless. I am still unsure about the universe."

Typical tory attitude there, I've got my pension I'm OK sod everyone else.

The contrast between the gentleman in the hat and the ‘me pension’ pillock is stark.

All brexiteers. Stop crying you were lied to. You chose to believe it. It was a choice.

World renowned scientist Steven Hawking said that in global ear UK shouldn't separate from EU. Writer J.K Rowling said that not to do Brexit. And Brexit won narrowly ( (won about 52% vote). I'm from Portugal and my son was in UK boarding school. After Brexit, many EU students didn't come back to boarding school (due to both covid and Brexit). Last year, my son's boarding school was shut down due to not enough students. Teachers, housekeepers, canteen staffs and cooks lost their jobs. So, Brexit means UK makes suicide. What else?

Soooooo, the main lesson here seems to be that politicians lie. Well, that's news.

After listening to these people, I now see why we are in the mess we're in!

Imagine being surprised to find out politicians lie to you .

The government published a pamphlet saying what was going to happen. No lies, you just had to read it.

If only someone had campaigned for Remain and warned about the consequences of Brexit..! 🙄

We were lied to, they say. The internet had loads of information on the EU, available to help them decide.

"The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter"

I’m sad to hear about the state of nurses. There is a global shortage of nurses. As a nurse, I have so many more opportunities compared to 10 years ago. But to hear that trained nurses are being forced to go through school to get a credential and probably take another test. All of that is costly and a lot of time. What a shame.

There was ample warning that Brexit was a nonsensical choice that would only hurt the UK. That there was no good reason for doing it. Leaving the EU results in having even less control, as predicted. The Brexit where the UK kept all the advantages of the EU while leaving all the obligations was never going to happen.

Couldn't you ask London bankers about the benefits? After all they see them in their pockets with tax evasion and money laundering services...

The guy who doesn’t like France and Germany is the typical Brexit voter. 😱

You weren't miss sold information, you just didnt do your research.

“We were lied to”. Hahahaha, you couldn’t think for yourself what would happen when you cut yourself off from 60% of your export market?
