There are two important themes: 1) People do not know how to research facts on internet. they are likely to look for what they believe until they find one who claims the same. It happens through all political wings and all social standards. f.e. I once saw a video claiming total nonsense. And it wasn't even well researched. While there are a ton of trustable videos claiming something else you could find a lot of comments like "OMG i didn't know", "OMG, thank you for telling me, nobody else told me" .... So basically they see literally one person claiming something and believe it immediately . 2) Again in all political wings, media and all social standards people are boxed into groups like gender, race, political wings, nationality, wealth..... defining some groups as good and the others as bad. But they are not boxed by their characters. Idiots can be rich or poor, immigrants or not, black or white, men or women, and the nicest people you can find in all of those groups too. we should start treating people by their character and not by which groups they represent.

At the time Of the referendum, I thought Brexit was a great idea. But the proposed execution wasn't at all solid. The facts were out there in the wonderful World Wide Web before the 1st referendum and this is how I came to a decision to remain, because the risks seem too high and I wasn't seeing or hearing any discourse to quell my hazardous feelings towards leaving. In fact becoming a 3rd country and operating under WTO rules for me was the straw that broke the camels back. To me it just sounded like economic suicide. I remember thinking back then if we were planning to leave the EU to either join another trading block or form a new one with other countries I would of happily voted to leave - but that wasn't the case. We were... still are planning on jumping in a car and drive at full speed down the M1 with no brakes! Madness

The EU bloc have destroyed the eurpoean nations individual economies, have a borderline corrupt leadership, produces a backlash in the poorer EU nations giving rise to nationlist parties, provide a sizeable trough for failed politicians who can get paid stupid amounts a day for producing next to zero results and they take forever to sign new trade deals with non EU nations.

I've walked through entire towns throughout europe that are pretty much ghost towns. If you cant see why a unified europe would be bad you must be itching for a war. Peace in europe has existed because of their independence from one another whilst mutually co operating. The EU in theory sounds great but it never works out in reality. Simply because there are influences within the EU parliament that are hellbent on empire building through corruption and cloak and dagger. If you are interested in symbolism compare the Tower of Babel to the EU Parliament building. This was all intentional. Furthermore thisnk upon the implications of a United nations of Europe. Tyrants exist and should one ever become the leader of the united europe then we are putting our future generations in danger. As individual independant nations we can keep one another in check.

I think you’re right, I think there’s a logical fear that there is not enough land and resources for all inhabitants, and there is not enough to go around, and this is deliberately constructed by our leaders to make it this way. Instead of people warring against one another and using this as an issue of colour for an evil propaganda sense, we need to be looking at why there are no resources and why our public combined money is not being spent on services and resources which benefit ALL people around the globe . There is enough land and resources for everyone regardless of anything, but it is not accessible. The division of colour is something that has been cooked up originally by the people in power. And it has been done this way so that people judge others on one aspect of their identity, rather than ask the basic question - why are there not enough resources to reach everybody, regardless of colour, race and creed? Race is one of the many dividing tactics our governments have employed and boy did it work. There’s simpler questions we need to be asking, namely, Where are the fruits of our collective effort really going? Our leaders have some pretty serious questions to answer.

The tone is now somewhat less patient with a higher sense of urgency to possibly find any bright spot in the currently isolated economy of the UK. Much of what is happening was of course identified in broad terms by economists and analysts since 2017. The shock for analysts isn't what is happening today, this was forecasted. The real shock for us was when it became clearer that the UK was intending to leave the single market.

@@lynx-7190 unfortunately, due to the timing of Covid and our official departure from the EU, its going to be extremely difficult to prove which is responsible for our impending economic downturn; but as a business owner who voted to Remain, the enormous tariffs I'm now paying for goods from EU member states suggests there might be some truth in it. Not to mention the tariffs for goods from countries the EU states have trade deals with that we no longer benefit from...that are likely to take years to negotiate a replacement, and as we don't have the same bargaining power as the EU, are unlikely to ever hold a torch to them. Do you feel vindicated? I hope so.

@@GetGwapThisYear I was referring to George Osbourne's predictions that in the hours and days after a leave referendum win, there would be a shock to the economy , 500,000 job losses, housing market crash, recession and much more which as we know did not happen. I'm not sure why as a business owner you are paying enormous tariffs on EU goods as the UK has a tariff free, quota free, trade deal with the EU from 1/1/2021. I feel vindicated because businesses will recover from the complications of exiting the EU, but more importantly the end of freedom of movement will also end the exploitation of low paid workers, many of them EU nationals themselves. Also the UK has already secured trade deals with over 58 countries.

Here is a comment that I've needed to say for a while. I would love to talk to James about my viewpoint and hope I get to have the opportunity in the future. Brexit is a political movement moved through the media in such a fashion that it lost sight of the most recent history of the Isles of Britain and Ireland. It is in staunch opposition to the good Friday agreement and against my democratic right as an Irish citizen. I voted to change our constitution in order to bring peace to all people of all creeds living in the North of Ireland. This is the battle ground where European socialism is fighting it out to see whether capitalism and through connection isolationist views can be seen to be nationalism. The battle lines are drawn in northern Ireland. The hope of generations in the hands of such stubborn imperialist views not seeing the reality of our shared humanity. If you are still reading I ask only one question do you know where you come from? Don't follow the ones who tell you their truth. We are Europe. We are the spark and cause of 2 world wars. We have learnt from that. Humanity and freedom to all of our members as we strive to improve life for us and around us. We pledge not to fall into hatred and mistrust and manipulation of media. We know how deeply that can damage our humanity and promise never to be that narrow sighted again. Signed EU citizen free to move, work and share culture protected by the very thing that they have tricked you into thinking is enemy.

Your making the whole question more complex than needed. The EU is corrupt; explain why they chose Juncker to head the place when he resigned as PM due to corruption. Who founded the EU? Rothschild, Morgan Kalergi..... who funds it now? Sorros...... who funded Churchill to start a war ? The Focus! same people the bankers! You need to think critically. Who funded Hitler? the bankers!

Why don't you talk about your precious EU and its passing of Articles 11 + 13 OB ??? Yeah ... staying is real good call all right ... You've often on your show asked for concrete examples of EU laws that were detrimental passed onto the UK from Brussels ... this is only the most recent example. You, of course, don't give a rip because you and your show are content creators who are part of the establishment media. The fact Articles 11 & 13 will make it exceptionally difficult for anyone in Europe to post anything critical of you or your masters is a nice bonus.
