Jacob Rees-Mogg visits Oktoberfest

Subscribe to Channel 4 News: bit.ly/1sF6pOJ
Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg visits Oktoberfest "to see whether drinking beer fuels Euroscepticism in Germany in the way it does in the UK". A German in national dress tells him he looks weird in his tweed jacket. Will there be a meeting of minds? What are the implications for Britain's membership of the EU?

[@dc8890]

I'm a leaver, but unfortunately you do sort of need rules to facilitate trade. As one of the other guys said, it's referred to as "non-tariff barriers". The idea is to standardise as many regulations as possible, so you can sell as many products/services as possible to each other. Otherwise, if two countries have completely different regulations on their products/services, then products/services from one country will be illegal in another. BUT. The Tories have said they will take lots of current EU regulations and enshrine them in British law, which will allow us to keep doing lots of trade with the EU. Bloody marvellous. Also, we could do a trade deal with the US, and it might be much easier for us to do so (than for the whole EU to do so) because we are culturally very similar to the US. So it might be much easier for us to reach mutually good terms for many products and services.

Sentimental evocations of British military victories sealed over seventy years ago have no place in this matter. This is a current and not a historical debate. It is about the future of Europe, not its past - the latter is only there to be learnt from, as the Germans have indisputably done since 1945. Bygones are bygones.

+Time Again, you are drawing a direct link between the Second World War and 'being pushed around by Mrs Merkel' today. There is no such link. Seventy years of history have passed since. You claim that being a member has compromised our sovereignty. But why is no other EU nation whingeing about this? France? Germany? Italy? None of them complain about becoming 'non-sovereign'. And if the UK had taken the so-called danger of being 'pushed around' by Germany into consideration when deciding on whether to join the union in the 70s, a danger which your blatant and in the 21st century totally unjustified anti-German prejudice has lead you to claim now exists, then why on earth did we indeed join?

Jacob's "Your costume is finer than mine" was a total throw away statement and was actually meant to be complimentary - it had no agenda whatsoever and it was purely an example of his polite banter. Why do people choose to start trouble and get offended and then "justify" it by saying that the word costume has an offensive connotation? It would be obvious to anyone (German or otherwise) with half a brain that it was simply the word he used and it wasn't meant in the so-called negative way the German perceived it. Not to mention HE actually insulted Jacob not the other way round. What a fucking tool. This is why I am at the very limit of my personal tolerance with left wingers and most remainers- because frankly most people like that German guy are PC obsessed progressives who are lefties and pro Europe- that is a fact I witness everyday- regardless of whether anyone thinks it is stereotyping.

[@pjn-je4hb]

Well, cool story, shame it does not have any grounds for your claims. a) the guy was probably smashed, b) his native language is most likely not english c) he is not an oxbridge educated mp. And most lastly the german literal translation of costume is Kostüm which has a less positive meaning than what is expressed by the english word. Kostüm refers to something you would wear as a prank or on halloween. I do not agree with that being german culture since I am from the north and we do not have this anywhere but in bavaria (also in austria and switzerland) these costumes have a longstanding tradition. I wonder what would happen if I'd go into some chelsea pub and say that football is a joke. Most likely similar reactions.

They are cherry picking the best pieces of the chequers white paper. The eu is by definition the biggest trade barrier to free trade that ever existed.

hi guys, I am german myself and I think that I can explain why the costume guy got so angry: In german the literal translation is "Kostüm", but for us germans a kostüm is something, you would only wear for halloween. it is a term for funny and quirky disguises. of curse the word costume has a more natural meaning, but for the bavarian it was an insult, because their fashion is a huge part of their culture.

[@adammosel4895]

You can explain it, but the English are still going to be angry, because that's their thing. From the book, "The Angry Island" by A.A. Gill (a Scot): "The default setting of England is anger. The English are naturally, congenitally, collectively and singularly, livid much of the time. In between the incoherent bellowing of the terraces and the pursed, rigid eye-rolling of the commuter carriage, they reach the end of their tethers and the thin end of their wedges. They're incensed, incandescent, splenetic, prickly, touchy and fractious. They can be mildly annoyed, really annoyed and, most scarily, not remotely annoyed. They sit apart on their half of a damply disappointing little island, nursing and picking at their irritations."

I don't think political union of the Federal sort can work in Europe...and if it is going to work and can work, then it must be able to develop more naturally, not by coercion which is what they are doing now.

Education is a wonderful thing 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@teachermarksmusictutorials824]

Ideology aside and purely from practical experience, I benefited greatly from being able to work in Netherlands, Denmark and Spain without hinderance. I regret thinking of the obstacles we will place in front of younger Brits. The out of touch JRMs of the world will never understand how liberating and enriching an experience it was to see and partake in better run societies. My guess is whatever happens will benefit Etonians.

All that expensive education and he can't even speak German...

Always remember Germany isn't a friend of the world.

[@yorkshire_tea_innit8097]

It seems disingenuous to talk about free movement without talking about Eastern European and 3rd world immigration. I find it essentially impossible that people have strong negative opinions about native west European immigration because they are all approx. equal in standard of living and very similar culturally, therefore the numbers are small, the transition is easy, and the motivations are efficient and based on love of another place. But when EU member states start allowing 3rd world immigrants things get bad, also the situation with eastern Europe is bad. In a perfect world we could start the EU again and it would include UK, France, Germany, Scandinavia inc DM and IL, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Malta, Austria, Northern Spain, and all countries within that block. Perhaps even Poland, Hungary, Czek, Slov, Coratia and Slovenia. In addition, the EU will only allow immigration from specific countries such as USA, Aus, NZ, Canada, and white SA. This is plain and obvious and if the debate were allowed in this realm the public opinion will be one-sided. The only reason it doesn't happen is PC culture, of which the EU parliament is inhaling deep from.

only White south africans would already be against several European constitutions, so you need to get rid of that

[@duncan4260]

Him pointing to the Berlin Wall at the end as a potential reason why the Germans think the way they do regarding free movement was quite insightful. After all people in Germany did not even have free movement in their own country for near 45 years, it makes sence that they are so much more for it than us in the UK who have never really had an issue with moving around.

[@AMOGLES99]

How times have changed. euroscepticism is still not a thing in Germany, but I think many people have cooled off towards the EU since then.

[@Nemesis-vt9dz]

The woman at 7:46 talks about "rules", it is a shame that France and Germany don't play by those same rules. We were never at home in the European Union, we could never be part of the family as they go on about, we are so different from the Europeans.

Oh look at that: a German advocating for a German-led 🇩🇪 Europe 🇪🇺. Yikes.

[@jamesdettmann94]

We've had that before haha

[@Whoami691]

I think we need to look at translation issues here. I don't think the German guy meant 'England belongs to Europe' in the sense of 'we own you' but more in the sense of 'you are one of us'. But i still voted for brexit. :)

"Costume" HAHAHA Got him

[@davidmaxwaterman]

I think the German didn't realise that 'fine' is a complement...I think he thought it was an insult.

[@phanaiosapollon2097]

I thought he took "costume" as an insult, as if it meant that he somehow looked clownish.

[@carbon1255]

Or that "costume" actually refers to a historical or national clothing and is not derogatory.

[@maxschmidt1787]

in german costume has more a masquerade touch/habit, and is often not meant positive and used in a devaluating manner to someone wearing clothes in public

[@foobar9759]

I just wish this guy was at the front of the queue for the Tory leadership. His calm demeanor is exactly what is needed when negotiating at the international level the PM does. Please tell me, how do we get him in No. 10 before it's too late! It's the Goves and the Mays who will sink this country as Brown tried to do when Blair resigned. Jacob Rees-Mogg, the people's PM. Britains best loved prophet!

One thing that really gets my goat is when I see the Union flag upside down, as it was on the dodgem at the start. If you're going to fly the flag, do it PROPERLY.

[@alfredskywalker1117]

so free movement of people ''is'' necessary? so we have here 3 million settled EU citizens and we have let out 1 million. Therefore we have a net of 2 million, that is 1 million more homes, so the remain campaign should be built on the slogan, CONCRETE OUR LAND OF 1 MILLION HOMES FOR THE EU''

[@shaitarn1869]

Could help but laugh at the guy insisting that he was 'European through and through' and it was a 'big family' and then getting offended and insisting he was wearing his 'national (as in 'German' not 'European') outfit'.

[@cazbert6]

he was actually implying he was wearing traditional Bavarian clothes, which he was, but saying they are national German clothes is like saying a kilt is British rather then Scottish, whilst technically correct you need to rember that the states of Germany spent more times as separate countries then they have as one united state so they still are very proud of there original cultures over national identity and considering Oktoberfest is mostly a celebration of Bavarian culture and held in bavira's largest city then you can see why he got a big touchy about it.
