James O'Brien's top 10 Best Brexit calls | LBC

[@Rando_Shyte]

That guy who called and admitted he was wrong and started crying "what have I done to my country?" I really felt that. At least he has the self awareness to know he was deceived. I'm glad JOB stood up for him

[@hamblyl]

@Rifle Eyez You can't do "just-in-time" from Australia, Japan or the US. He is talking about same day pickup and deliveries. That same Import export infrastructure will still be place for the likes of Australia, Japan or the US - as they have always been. This is a fundamental reduction and curtailment in a specific type of delivery. No other set of countries can, or could ever, replace that. Geography not politics.

[@hamblyl]

@Rifle Eyez he already has his own company. These are not teething issues - these are fundamental differences in geography. You cannot transport consumable J-I-T goods from Africa, Australasia or the Americas. It isn't a case of "waiting for markets to open up" - it is a case of "those markets are not viable solutions to the requirements as the goods will go off before they get here". And those goods will ALWAYS and STILL have to go through the same import/export regime that they go through now and that the EU goods now have to go through - the difference is (was) those goods from the EU did not previously have to go through this Import/Export process! We will not be entering into an "EU like trading zone" with ANYONE - we may get deals, but they will all still have to go through standard Import/Export processes. The End - stop trying to make out otherwise. Plenty of people could predict. Many others did predict. And many of those that could predict, but kept their mouths shut or said otherwise, will be a whole lot richer as a result. It is called disaster capitalism - Rees Mogg's father wrote a book about it.

[@hamblyl]

​@Rifle Eyez Oh dude, really?? Australia tends to trade with other countries NEAR it. That is how they cope with their geography. Ditto most other countries. Why would Australia rely on a trading region 12 thousand miles away? Equally, the UK joining a south east asian trading pact as a replacement for the EU is complete nonsense. Similarly the US. Reducing the frictionless trading capacity of a nation from 300m potential customers down to 60m potential customers will have an impact on that nation. You do not need to predict very much. Try getting mail order in Northern Ireland at the moment - many suppliers, simply, will not do it. There are industries being decimated by this, currently.

The first guy was a breath of fresh air. Clear, concrete examples of major challenges for business owner. I hope he is alright.

@@thomashassall96 It is not widespread throughout western nations, only western nations with a strong right-wing or conservative political party. A lot of European countries with strong left-wing politics have much healthier public debates and much more robust democracies. Look at US, UK, France and Italy, all with strong right-wing politics and all suffering from corruption, racism and tribal politics. Look at Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Scandinavia, all with strong left-wing politics and all suffer far less racism, tribal politics and corruption. This pattern is not a coincidence, ever asked yourself why Left-Wing politics always invests in publically funded/owned education, intended to provide max quality, and why right-wing politics prefer privately funded/owned education, intended to provide max profit?

Not really. Much of the leave vote wasn't because people wanted out, but rather was a protest against the previous years of austerity. The thinking (if you can can call it thinking) was that if Cameron wanted us in, then they were going to kick him on the goolies and vote leave.

Then look blank at you when you tell them that non-UK citizens working in the NHS have a fee to pay for NHS services that they are highly unlikely to need (young fit, active and trained health professionals). That they do not get benefits immediately like housing but as a working tax payer are entitled to the same benefits as any other working tax payer. The Human Rights Act was created and set up lead by Churchill and signed into UK law as 47 did. Only two countries are not. Serbia who refused to sign up when separated from their union and Russia who resigned so they could invade the Ukraine. What a noble group of countries to wish to join.

People are fed up. We've had almost fourteen years of austerity and stagnation. The provincial towns and cities are in decay and services are falling apart. People are alienated and angry as we all get poorer and lose hope of anything getting better. People are easily swung by populist campaigns which declare that - Foreigners are to blame - The EU is to blame They havent managed to connect the dots between the crises and the policies which got us here and who created those crises and policies. We have had Tory and Tory-lite government in the UK since 1979. Many of our current problems were caused by policy decisions made by Tory Governments. For example, the financial meltdown of 2008 was directly caused by Thatcher/Reagan deciding to deregulate the financial sector. This created a competition for growth Through Risk-Taking which enabled many of them to commit Hara-Kiri. And since the banks are all mutually dependent, the fall of only a couple of big players brings down the whole financial system. They print trillions of money to 'save' the system which all ends up in the hands of the banks again, it creates a bubble of false value and a need for the banks to find growth through Risk Taking again - and the whole demented game restarts. We've been told that Foreigners and the EU are to blame for our situation. (It is of course quite insane, but thats the power of propaganda and brain dead populism) Now we've lurched even further down the road to nowhere - another right wing experiment intended to benefit corporations and the wealthy people who own them. But truly, the authors of this new crisis through this new 'policy' haven't a clue where this Brexit experiment will leave us. Personally, I believe that in ten years (if the next financial meltdown hasnt quite happened by then) the UK will be even poorer and more broken than we are now - and irrelevant in international politics.

[@MrXaphus]

Thats a fair enough point of view. But can I ask if you ventured much further than London in the time you spent here in the UK? And if you did so, did you spend a meaningful amount of time with the local people in those areas? And, as a German, how much time have you spent with people in the areas beyond the town you live in back home?

As someone who’s country has not left the EU, I can actually provide an example of how brexit has impacted my work: so I work for a company that provides IT services. Our business model works by partnering with local business and independent contractors to provide last mile support for our customers. So basically, we were employing smaller local companies in the UK to service large manufacturing and offices for companies that usually don’t employ 100 tiny companies because it’s not cost efficient to manage so many suppliers from a financial aspect (AR and AP). So we normally keep the remote parts and will outsource the field services to our UK partners. So some of our customers are moving or reducing their operations in the UK due to the uncertainty of the legislation, but we are also reducing the amount of work we do take in the UK and by consequence we outsource to local companies. The reason is because it is quite frankly too expensive to figure out what legislation applies. Under the EU single market, sorting out what taxes apply was not really an issue, where as now VAT has to be included as cost when reselling services which basically means that services in the UK are now 20% more expensive. If purchasing HW and importing into the UK (and considering there’s 2-3 companies down the chain) it’s literally a nightmare. Just last week, my company (US company with entities in a few EU countries) had to import some devices into the UK from the US. I am based in Belgium, and we have 2 other entities (Romania and Ireland). Per our contract with our customer, we would have had to sell the hardware with our Romanian entity to our customer’s entity in the UK, and deliver it to their entity in the UK. We had an option of purchasing the devices locally in the UK, but that would have meant that the UK vat of 20% would be cost for us, we would then have to apply Romanian vat on top of that. So basically our customer in the UK would pay double sales tax for equipment purchased in the UK and delivered in the UK. So we decided to import the HW from the US directly to the UK using a sister company in our group that still has an entity in the UK and sell it to the customer in the UK and as such only 20% vat applies. Long story short, it is cheaper to import to the UK in this situation from the US than purchasing the same equipment locally, but by seeking an exception from out contract with our customer. Took us 3 days to figure this out (5 people in 3 different companies) leveraging 2 different entities. The time spent on sorting this out between quite high level professionals (also counted as cost) literally means we are actually not making any profit on this transaction. This would have previously been 1 hour of work. Now no one actually knows which laws are in place, and sometimes even our colleagues in the UK don’t really know. It is quite honestly a deterrent from taking anymore business in the UK. It’s just too stressful and complicated. We made an attempt to figure out the legislation changes that would occur after brexit, but with all the delays and changes it was literally impossible to keep up without employing a specialized company to sort this for us, but the amount of business we now have with the UK does not justify the additional cost so we can’t really seek out specialized consultants so we are stuck with a contract with our customer for the next couple of years that we have to fulfill, but it literally is not returning sufficient revenue to make all the additional effort worth it. We in the EU have more work for less profit, our partners in the UK are losing business and obviously for the work we do undertake we are not making money and our customer is paying more for worse services.

From Aotearoa New Zealand I’d love a serious 10 episode Documentary on it all narrated by James O’Brien. Can we just get it done already. Or just stitch every LBC report across the timescape of pre-Brexit to a year or two later.

…why? It literally already exists, it’s right here to be watched and shared. What possible benefit would Netflix add

Watching this again in June 2022, it's flabbergasting how one-sided history has turned out against the leading Brexiteers. Because that is actually quite rare in political discourse. Usually, one side turns out to be more right than the other, but Brexit makes history as the greatest political clusterf**k - in history. Additionally enhanced by the fact that absolutely everyone with just the slightest insight into subject matter(s) warned what would happen. O'Brien being a very loude and intelligent voice on the matter - much because he also has functioning ears that actually listen to people who know something of relevance. Great job and great talent!
