*you're

lkfwb 'you're', not 'your'

Yea the last time you guys pulled a dick move like that we threw your tea in the harbor.

It’s the 21st century

huh, sounds familiar... its like a british colony was telling them this

Its totally not like the British taxed the American colonists unfairly or anything.....

what did the world gain and did that change made the world better?

xd

true and true it gives an another voice about it

I dont even care man. Thanks for posting again! Your videos are freaking awesome and I learn more from your vids than I do in 2 months of school

Your videos are always an absolute joy to watch and listen to. I'd rather it be months late than not seen at all. Please keep up the amazing work.

I just posted a comment two minutes ago questioning why Portugal is missing (Champions of euro 2016) (also assholes)

Another error is that the Isle of Man isn't in the EU.

Also, the graph about net contribution at 4:16 is slightly misleading since it does not take into account the rebate. This mechanism is often excluded from EU contribution figures because, unlike what many people think, this is actually not an EU mechanism per se. The rebate is a way to neutralise the the UK's contribution to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Technically, it is a contribution made by other EU member states to Brussels on behalf of the UK as part of the rebate program. So it's not actually a rebate, it's a system where a portion of the UK's membership fee is paid by other members. Those who benefit the most from the CAP, my home country of France and 2 other countries with large agricultural sectors, Italy or Spain, collectively pay the bulk of the rebate. On the other hand, Germany, doesn't not make a significant payment because its agricultural sector is fairly limited. The adjustment adds a little bit to a number of other EU states and reduces the UK's contribution by a few billions. Fun fact: Because France is the largest contributor to the UK rebate, Brexit actually means a lower net contribution for France. This is estimated at between 300 and 600 million euros assuming the burden of replacing the UK's contribution is spread across the other 27 member states on a per capita basis. Oh and it's good to see you back!

POREXIT

Question, did you support leaving or remaining in the EU? Also, this is pretty much the best video for explaining the referendum; unbiased, informative, very well executed. We need more YT channels like your's.

Ethnic split? I mean, quite apart from the fact that ethnicity is an artificial construct, even those who do believe in it would argue that the separating factors between Flemings and Walloons are language and culture, not "ethnicity"... Having said that, I would like to see a video about how the Low Countries came to be; how the Seventeen Provinces that once were turned into three separate modern countries. It seems most people could definitely use a bit of education on that issue before they start calling Belgium a "non-country" again...

+Robert Faber Well, it's not hard to see where they'd be coming from. Belgium has 7 governments, all with the same jurisdiction.

Jeroen Bollen Yes, but that's not such an oddity, is it? Belgium is a federation, and federations have powerful subnational governments by definition...

Robert Faber That's the idea.

+Robert Faber The thing that's odd about Belgium's federal structure is the fact they have overlapping jurisdiction. Every part of Belgium is under the jurisdiction of the federal government, a region government and at least one community government. It would make an interesting video.

I have really got to do a better job finding errors in my videos.. should be 58% favourable.

+WonderWhy At least 7% of Italian people voted twice

That's what happens when you don't make videos in a long time. You just forget how to lol

and north korea

Sweden's bar is messed up as well

Ikr

What do yiu mean

lol same here. Its like he only comes out on special occasions

Same

Me too

I agree this video was very professionally made.

Ditto. It's very well done.

I wouldn't call it unbiased. Professional, defiantly, but unless you've only been listening people in favor of staying, it's pretty clear that this video has a very pro-remain stance.

+realevilcorgi Never ever heard a good argument from an anti EU supporter. Pounds in the toilet and your country is in shambles. But hey, no more immigrants right? Wait, no, you're still gonna have to deal with them. Why exactly did you guys vote to leave again?

Saying there are possible downsides and that leave voters won't get everything they want isn't biased it's realistic

You could say the same thing about Trump and his supporters

Think of it this way: Would you want to receive benefits if it cost you your freedom? Or would you rather take a plunge into the unknown to maintain your self? It's a similar situation. We have far more influence over our OWN government than we do against the EU governments. When the UK government does something we don't like, we have the power to get it changes. When the EU does something we don't like, we're the voices of merely one of 28 members which are easily overruled - especially when the UK and mainland Europe have very different views on matters.

I wanted to leave, I enjoy our sovereignty and the European Union are for an ever closer union. They have already started talking of a European Military now that we have left. We don't want to be closer, and we don't want the blue and yellow starred flag replacing our own.

It's less about facts and more about emotion and pride for me.

Don't worry, the reason we voted to leave is because there are a lot of idiots

Can any country do without the resources of another? People may not like you but they like what you have.

I know right? Like, the point of voting UKIP was to get out of the EU? Did they change their minds last minute or something?

Schrodinger's voter. PS Love the profile pic.

Probably that 4% developed legit autism by eating nothing but butterdogs in their childhood

TheDoctor64 or maybe not even that, they just ate glue their whole life

There just in it for the racism not the euro hating

what about 30% of lib gems voting to leave?

*you *you're

@@Inkyminkyzizwoz moron

How has it started collapsing? It's been growing

Any evidence?

+Josh “Engineer Engifar” Gunderson Mic dropped

+Josh “Engineer Engifar” Gunderson The remainers are the uneducated ones. Why would you want to stay in a protectionist Union? Tariffs and barriers to entry are killing UK business, and when the rest of the world wont trade with you as a result, you can only trade with people in your Bloc. There is no advantage to staying in the EU. Also it is dying, debt within EU is going up, the EU indirectly caused Portugal, Spain and Greece's debt. In the 70's these countries freed themselves from their dictators, and wanted to join the EEC. This desperation lead to huge stimulus packages, increasing debt and killing their countries. The EU borrows to keep itself together, and represents less than 15% of world markets, I would rather trade with everyone else than a bunch of stupid Democratically Socialist countries. The UK will get a good deal, they have to otherwise EU countries would be shooting themselves in the head. Even the smallest of tariffs on our goods could kill the EU.

not to mention pro-leave campaigns are building in other EU states. polls in Belgium and Greece indicate theyre over 50%, Germany, france and more are hovering around there. if Britain leaves and makes a go of it (looking likely as there's already many countries expressing interest in trade deals, and countries previously saying they weren't interested back off that) I predict thatll be the end of the EU. a big argument in remain was 'we don't know!' well if other countries do know...

Because Greece's opinion counts for much in the EU...

Michael Rogers Belive it or not, it does! Every country in the EU has a veto, so only if all members agree another country can join.

They are the authoritarian but they need to please the libtard in order to brain wash

Josh Kusiak What are you even saying?

Karmonit 0 He's some fool who doesn't know how to write properly.

What happened

@@worlddj1364 I can explain. After the referendum, we didn’t sign article 50 until 2017 because we were hesitant to do it. We left the EU in January 2020 right on the tail of a pandemic and got a really bad deal with the EU. Now with the energy crisis, incompetent government and other things, Brexit has actually made the UK weaker and politically unstable. The energy crisis which has been caused by various factors, we have to pay an additional tariff on energy that we import from the EU making things more expensive and our own domestic supply is nothing. The awful conservatives that are in power just keep getting into scandals everyday making the future of the UK look bleak. From the Scottish/Northern Irish view, they never wanted to leave the EU in the first place meaning that it’s the English to blame for the mess we are in. That’s my answer.

I don't think the UK will leave either. Even though i am in full support of the UK leaving. But i am still happy because the UK have shown that the EU cannot get away with everything they have been doing. It shows that it IS indeed possible to say "Fix your shit EU or we will leave".

To me, as an American, British politics seem more interesting because it seems to be a blood sport. In the House of Representatives and the senate everything remains civil, and thus, boring.

+J Winx you have been paying attention to the presidential race, right?

+Daniel Syck kinda. It is a shitshow

+Daniel Syck The presidential race would be relatively normal without Trump. I mean, would this race be anywhere near as bad if it was Clinton VS Cruz?

Doesn't matter, I did clicked the Like button before start watching, I added this to my list of liked videos. And I knew this guy never disappoints. :)

+Gabo Lugo That tactic doesn't make sense.

+Paco Cotero for me, it does. :)

Gabo Lugo Sounds pathetic. But that's OK

+Paco Cotero yep.

2022 : quote "EU citizens can be sent back after three months if they have no means of support and no realistic chance of finding any," Well that isn't exactly the problem is it ? Those EU immigrants came to the UK to work hard for little money and for a limited time only, then they went back home. But now after Brexit they are staying home. With too few British workers wanting to replace them.

​@@flitsertheoExcept they didn't go back home, because the UK Government chose not to use the power to send them back!

Yep! Less bias than CGP grey and easier to follow.

It's weird that this video is less biased when it comes from a Scot :P

HERESY!

I have only ever downvoted one of Grey's videos, and this was it because of the bias. I was glad to see him not pretending he can predict the future like every other Brexit video has done.

Longer ≠ better. I like them both equally.

colin newton we aer leaving tomorrow night at 11 pm

More like you would get kicked out.

@@kamanashiskar9203 with next to no compensation.

Oh no you are a londoners. I was born there but normally try not to admit it.

I have to say my favorite videos of yours are the videos on international borders and time zones

For his political benefit, he ruined Britain. Also, he was only PM for a year after the 2015 Election.

The video is currently in the process of being translated and will be available with Spanish narration some time soon hopefully!

+WonderWhy there is actually a country that left before us, Greenland

+bob hope punched my face ,k? Greenland is a bit different because it was never a member in its own right, it was (and still is) part of the Kingdom of Denmark, which remains a member. They just changed status from a territory within the EU to being a territory outside the EU.

+bob hope punched my face, k? Greenland is a territory not a country

+Josh "Engineer Engifar" Gunderson LMFAO

Never heard of this "Great Britaing" before...

Karmonit 0 I never heard of "bevor'' before

Ben Rafter You got me on that one.

Karmonit 0 😂

The GBP/USD is at it's lowest in history. 1.306. if you'd stayed it would be close to 1.4

It's probably not bad, but it's definitely not the best it's ever been.

and once we leave we'll be free of EU red tape on our business' and foreign exports. already many common-wealth countries are wanting free trade deals, Germany says a trade deal is top priority as well. we'll be able to reignite our fishing industries

And overfish? there's a reason for fishing laws, to preserve them for later. If we fish now a lot, there won't be fish later

Alwin Priven I never said freedom to overfish, I said freedom to reignite our fishing industry, this would be done by reclaiming our fishing waters which are currently being used more by other EU nations that Britain. britan atm only gets to catch 20% of the annual safe-limit [or whatever the fancy term is] by value. we wouldn't need to overfish to quintruple our fishing revenue

even the conservatives are more left then the democrats, everyone supports keeping the NHS where as no presidential candidate wants to form a US version

Obamacare is nothing compared to the NHS. The U.S. is very right winged politically.

Labour is further left than the lib dems?

Lemme sum it up: Labour party: Socialists Liberal democrat: Socialists Green party: Socialists Conservatives: Moderates Ukip: Conservatives

+Jacob Furrow Coming from a very right-wing based viewpoint.

Well, presumably based on the vote, there would at least be less of it in Scotland. It's pretty sad though host much racism there was leading up to and after the Brexit vote. The amount of harassment and violence against people deemed Polish was surprising to me, being an American, I didn't know being anti-Polish was even a major thing, especially in the UK.

+MaxLazerGamer haha that's funny, the Welsh don't like the English, but not enough for them to want to become independent. That's good to know, so it's not quite as intense as for example Turks and Greeks, or Serbians and Albanians.

I'd say England has more of a tradition of scepticism for Europe, partly from geography and history.

+Sardeth 42 it's alright, I wanted anecdotes.

I don't believe Brits have a disdain for Europeans in general. Just their way of life due to national leaderships and culture. The same way i doubt Brits have anything against people with brown skin. Just their way of life which is directly incompatible with Britain's. There's plenty of "non brits" who has come to Britain and adopted Britain's way of life, culture and customs. I sincerely doubt any Brit has anything negative to say about those people.

What is Portugal?

World War 3 is upon us baby!

Why?

richard343s yeah because the wife would allow a member to take advantage economically while ignoring the political union

the uk has a border with Ireland and gibraltar has a border with Spain

***** oh ya

actually thanks to our deal with France which has nothing to do with the EU.

And that's at an airport.

You just created a black hole

aye, looking like the latter though

Yeah, I tke first, thank you very much.

I hope it will be the first, (sorry Brits) but looking at Scotland wanting to leave the UK to join the EU and Ireland wanting to unite, England's future doesn't look that good

Mathias Radenez scotlands just dragging their heels through out politics anyways

My prediction. You're an idiot

apart from London becomes a city state, the rest is true

Reallly, why?

Rory Coffey none of the above will happen, except for England and Wales sticking together. Brexit was feared to send the UK economy into meltdown and cause world war 3, all thats happened is that the £ has gone down in value. The SNP are so intent on taking Scotland out of the UK that they are willing to see it go under given that the oil prices are so low and the Barnett formula will cease to exist London becomes a city state? really?? NI will not rejoin Ireland as that would cause the peace process to disintegrate Russia is gonna sweep up the countries that leave the EU and form a rival organisation? erm Britain has left and the Dutch will be next, I look fwd to you replying to me when the Dutch and Britain link up with Russia to form a new club, i predict ill be waiting rather a long time for that reply

I doubt it would cause a war, and it technically was never part of the Republic of Ireland but was always part of Ireland

😂 no it was a good idea

+Phoebe Elephant It is a constitutional monarchy however it also has a parliamentary system that actually runs the country. The monarchy is just a figurehead to make big bucks off tourists and to open new buildings. The parliament is lead by a prime minister that is elected every four years. The EU doesn't have any elections for its elite. Therefore the UK voted for full autonomy over which person can create laws for the country.

Exactly! So now you have a PM that wasn't elected by the people! How democratic.

Yes Britain hates the democraticly elected parlement in Brussels because it believes in democracy!

Kind of an ironic statement, considering the current primeminister is unelected

+Jotham Bate The PM isn't elected. He is appointed by the Queen. She might have continuously chosen the biggest party since recently, but this certainly isn't always the case.

Nu-males need to stop.

you are not female, therefore you cannot use that word.

What are you, a teenager? Brainwashed by the Guardian. Farage is the most important politician since Thatcher, maybe even since Churchill, and he deserves a knighthood for tirelessly fighting for what the majority desired but could never, ever get their politicians to acknowledge. He single handedly got us free and signaled a collective 'fuck you' to all of your traitorous, left wing types.

The referendum is not legally binding. If Article 50 is triggered, it will be because Parliament fears that the Brexiters will make their opinion felt through parliamentary elections. In other words, if Parliament ignores the voice of the people, the people will find a new Parliament. Which is precisely what should happen in a free democracy, regardless of where you stand on Brexit itself. That said, I don't think Article 50 will be triggered, unless the E.U. truly deteriorates beyond repair and Britain's bargaining position in trade becomes a great deal stronger. Until then, the Tories will stall like its no tomorrow, while keeping an ear to the ground to see if its safe to openly reject the referendum.

+Chris Dynamo let me guess where do you take your info: Paul Joseph Watson and /pol/ Great Job Mr. White!

And Wales

Solo12313 No offence but I don't think you're getting my point. England will sway any referendum in their favour, leaving N. Ireland, Scotland & Wales without a choice.

waha 28 Wales actually voted for leave though. Yes, England has the majority of the British population, but if more Scots voted remain or more Welsh the result would have been different. My point is if Wales were independent their vote would be leave.

+waha 28 Every council in Scotland voted stay.

+waha 28 If England swayed the vote in thier so called favour, then why did Scotland and Northern Ireland vote remain

What?

+GeneralSmelly it is my nan works in economic stuff she voted stay but it's stronger than ever

ecocide.... really... is that like economic genocide??

+HaliTheGreat I mentioned economy

+Dragon X Have you been living under a rock? There's been countless warnings that the UK might actually slip into recession by this time next year.

Hahahahaha

I am 17 and i voted to leave

Great job except that you couldn't have voted if you're 17 due to the Representation of the People Act. You're a fucking liar mate and a bad one at that.
