How exactly was O'Brien 'schooled' by an economist? And where in the video does O'Brien indicate he doesn't like it? He agreed with most of it until the 784B Sterling came up and wanted to know where that figure came from? (I'd like to know as well, I've never heard it mentioned until this video). The caller also cites a paper he read that was an analysis of the payout - except there is no line item list of the payout - that's not even been decided yet. So I'm not entirely sure what the paper analysed. And while we're at it, where does the poster get the idea that the caller was an 'economist'? Because the caller's read a paper on economics?

I have also listened to O'Brien a lot and he is very open to being dissuaded by a well argued, logical and rational point of view that conflicts with his own opinion. I saw no big point of difference here and certainly nothing to suggest OBrien was "schooled". If you disagree, perhaps you can point out the killing blow? Anything at all where O'Brien is conclusively hoisted by a conflicting argument? No, I don't think you will. That's because people like you don't do detail or logical reasoning, right? Easier to just throw out an ad hominem.

ian mann , you really think that the net migration level will keep up to this current degree , it won't more people will be leaving the country than comming in and even those that are only here for a job rather than trying to live here by investing in a mortage rather than renting a 5 bed house between their 8 mates (it is up to those individuals to decide if they apply for a UK passport and become a citizen ) ps no one said anyone is being kicked out , it will be up to those individuals to decide what to do and we'll have systems in place to help them with that choice rather than telling people what to do but the up most importance is adhearing to the countries laws. so anyone after 2019 that comes in after we've left will be subject to all checks , including finaces and full Criminal checks not just a Quick call to the flipping met office ect . it is a fact as net migration goes down and if the government put in a order for housing to be made , the cost of housing goes down so does the rent to attract people into renting rather than getting a mortage and the banks will begin to offer lower cost mortages to fill the supply .

except the housing crisis isn't caused by migrants, it's mostly due to a shortage of affordable housing and bussinesses not wanting to build them, the percentage of affordable homes taken by migrants is not that big or the real problem. plus those that are here aren't going and you still get people coming in from outside the EU (so basically what we have already as we always had control over EU migration and just never did anything). what would really fix it is the govenment actually doing something rather than blaming it on scapegoats like they always do. also how are you classing english?so can scotish people not buy homes in britain anymore? can migrent who become english citizens buy homes in britain? if so where are they meant to stay in the mean time?

The problem with people like James OBrien is, no matter what level of knowledge, experience, intelligence and open mindedness they may or may not have, they will almost never agree with you, regardless of how strong your argument is. People like him hate to be wrong, are not man enough to admit it when they are, and quite often get a kick out of disagreeing with you for the purpose of trying to wind you up and being a general cnt. I have met a few people like this in recent years, and after many debates you come to realise that you are literally wasting your time with these people. One of them is at work, we'd get into all sorts of debates, but when I realised he literally disagrees with 100% of my views, which is too much to be coincidence so far as I'm concerned, I stopped entertaining him. There were good points he'd make that I'd accept, yet he would instantly dismiss any good points I made, even regarding a trade I have been doing for 18 years now that he has no experience in whatsoever. On the odd occasion I bump into him on site it's not much more than a hello now. I'd be an idiot to ever debate him again. Debate is healthy, but only when people can admit they're wrong and accept the facts.

The main point that the caller got wrong was thinking that we enjoy the exact same benefits up until the deadline. As a lot of companies have already jumped ship and more will do so closer to the deadline he is comprehensively wrong. James O'B 1 Caller 0.
Any "jump ship" companies should be boycotted if they try to import their goods back into the UK fuck em right off.

Been listening to this guy on and off for 2 years and in his defense most of Leave callers are dipshits and believe everything will just be swell no matter what. Im relatively young and believe we will find a way to be competitive economically but we will suffer economically the short term, everything depends on the trade deal we get from the EU and the US. Our biggest manufacturing industries will be up against it but our service industries will probably thrive in a deregulated and lower tax environment. I dont believe we are fucked as James does.

Well, five years on and Brexit has been and is a disaster. Still arguing about the NI protocol, Johnson of all people arguing against the deal he called oven ready. The whole point of Brexit was to stop the far right of the Tories causing trouble. Now we have a far right Tory party divided as never before and looking at years in the wilderness after the next election.

I always use the EU's own data for debunking remainer lies. They are loathe to critisize an entity that they seem to idolise. It proved that the £350m on the battle bus was, indeed, fake. The problem was that it was much higher than that. It was about £430m at that moment in time. Non-EU import taxes and a cut of our VAT payments were not included in the original figure quoted.
@the1andonlytitch6 жыл бұрын
Yeah but aren't we already still paying what were already paying to stay in? We still have to pay the "£350m a week" during both the 2 years we are negotiating and then the 2 year "implementation phase" (which is Labour's transition period by another name). That £40b is on top of what were paying but for nothing as we are paying what we owed for the last budget but won't see any benefits for it as we are leaving the single market. That man is less of an economist than I am and he's definitely not a remainer that's for sure

@TBFSJjunior6 жыл бұрын
I am the one who flocks I can't find it anymore, but I've read somewhere that the divorce bill is actually around 100 bn and the 40bn is just the net (so minus assets and payments that go the other way). But I also agree, that his statement made little sense, as the idea of the divorce bill was, to talk about liabilities and assets the UK has AFTER leaving (2019), which includes 21 month of membership fees (as the UK has signed up for those), pensions, some science projects, etc. I think he might have misunderstood the 724 figure, as those might be the EUs liabilities so far and he thought those must be the cost of membership till 2019, but a lot of the money is earmarked for the future.
@TBFSJjunior6 жыл бұрын
I am the one who flocks Also you seem to be confused aswell. Yes your statements that the UK made their budget payments is true, but the EU has costs that are shifted to future budgets. Take pensions for example. The EU pension scheme is similar to the UK government pension scheme. The pension is payed from the current budget and not from savings. So when the UK leaves, they have not payed any pension for all the EU government employees future pensions. It would be like Scotland leaving the UK. The U.K. National debt and pensions for soldiers would have to be split so Scotland pays for their fair share.

The caller stated his faith in Britian but did not describe what we could do in detail to make things better than they currently are. Obviously it is too complex to be descirbed on a radio phone- in, but we deserve a highly detailed document with realistic proposals for the post - Brexit UK. The title of the video is very misleading, James O'Brien was simply informed that the bill spoken of was largely comprised of money to be paid for membership up until the date of our departure and therefore not the figure of our "divorce settlement". The caller did not make ( nor did he intend to give) sensible economic arguments in favour of Brexit as one might have been led to think by the title.
