🇬🇧 Regret for backing Brexit in Birmingham South-Asian community l Al Jazeera English

[@shahjehan]

Imagine voting against your own self interests.

Americans do it all the time.

I’m British Panjabi myself, and I’ve had plenty arguments with fellow Brits of South Asian extraction who think THEY were the “good” immigrants, THEY have become “real” Brits, and that it is the Eastern European migrants who are a problem. The problem is lack of investment by a Tory government that is happy to collect our taxes without putting them BACK into our failing infrastructure. Blaming hardworking tax paying immigrants for the government’s failures is abhorrent.

[@simransidhu3444]

President Santana, well, that’s the strangest criticism. I’ve. Ever. Had.

[@superguiller]

Who are the lazy tax-avoiding immigrants? Where are they? I haven't seen a single one in England.

[@richardmoloney689]

EU citizens you refer to are central Europeans.

[@desertdetroiter428]

South Asians in the United States are the same way.

UK: complains about immigrants after invading almost every country on earth in the past three centuries

[@JackSmith-hx8zh]

I'm just a normal guy who didn't invade anyone's country but have to suffer my country being invaded, not due to empire but by mass immigration in order to profit the globalists. The same people who call for more immigration destroying our society and culture would no doubt have been clamouring for empire a 100 years ago. Normal people have to suffer what they must and be called racist if they don't, while the globalists get rich and suffer nothing. It's perverse.

[@bilalsiddiqui2177]

Even immigrants fear immigration 😂😂😂😂🤦‍♂️

[@PaulSelormey]

You made my day!

[@jerryorange6983]

the best was that many Pure Breed White Brexiteers voted to get rid of Brown people and Brown people voted to get rid of white EE. What a chain of reaction.

[@biocapsule7311]

If conservative propaganda doesn't work, they wouldn't have spend so much money and effort.

[@claudiafigueiredo4979]

The irony not lost 😂😂

[@montumeroe9593]

They got what they wanted.

[@BallygarvanGAA]

It wasn’t the blind leading the blind but rather leading the deaf. Enough people told you all about the issues that would arise. None so deaf as those that will not hear.

[@CitroTeam]

The envy and greed of those who were and those who came, resulted in the greatest stupidity of the century. I'm sorry for those who didn't choose this path because they're going to go through problems they didn't choose.

[@cmike123]

Watching immigrants trying to shut out other immigrants is hilarious.

[@Daveandian10]

Indians voting to leave lol

[@desertdetroiter428]

LMAO @ anti immigration immigrants. 😂😂😂

[@marked8327]

Birmingham and West Midlands has a lot of problems with bigotry and racism and segregation the older generation part of the problem because of thier narrow minded views on immigration and change to,Birmingham is very segregated and divided no integration at people live separate lives.

[@gerard4039]

Brexit has its advantages and inconveniences , most of Eastern Europe was added to the EU to counter the growing Asian populations in the UK , than for the same reason we see Brexit , it’s ironic !!

[@heliotropezzz333]

Immigrant worrying that things were getting easier for immigrants - that's because the economy was growing.

[@tyrone5066]

Indian immigration is okay we don't want European immigration 😂😂😂😂

[@kimbo7766]

Rather than conducting real research, people listened and collated their understanding from tabloid news and local gossip and chit chat. Far too many people took an easy route to making their choices by forming opinions on oversimplified information. When in reality nothing is ever simple, when it comes to human challenges they are always multifaceted and complex. Too many people are looking for the easiest way or shortcuts to understanding, politicians know this very very well and so they take advantage of you for their own agenda. There are serious consequences to Brexit, more and more people are losing jobs and being discriminated against with no laws to protect them. The P&O cruise line are one of the most recent examples of this. This is only the beginning. Brexit was for the elite, for the benefit of the richest 10%. Why on earth do you think Jacob Reese Mogg and Nigel Farage fronted the campaign?? Did you all really believe they were doing it for you honest working folk?!! I hope people learn from this, I really do. Because you deserve better. But you really need to stop taking short cuts and organise, help one another to become better politically aware and educated. Reach out to universities and lecturers in sociology and political science, form groups and organisations and empower yourselves.

November, 2021 --- groceries short of stock, petrol shortages, factories closing, fishing fleet moored, taxes rising, Boris being Boris. Enjoy !

[@krazejhaha]

Lol Indians voting to leave is not a shock to me, a lot of them are conservative

[@doel89]

this is just like ticking the terms and condition acknowledgement tick box when using app or sites

[@claudiafigueiredo4979]

Immigrants rejecting other Immigrants if was not sad would be laughable.

[@GurmukhBains-z7z]

O a very smart move as now the UK has had to offer more Indian visas

[@tudormiller8898]

I'm not sure exactly why some people are so shocked by this video. There are a lot of ethnic, racial and religious minorities who are actually Conservative in their political views that might not sit well with many middle class liberal white Brits.

[@kevanbodsworth9868]

You could not tell people.I tried for years in the net,, It was ALL "project fear " ..As brexit neared I realised only the expierince of Brexit would bring people to believe it was all in all a bad move,, Like leaving the country because you find the government not good, You stay and you try to get something done about it ,,

[@nativenewlondoner]

Hang on Abdul, let me try and say something profound over a shot of you burning Brexiteers’ tears over a crucible of lies and garam masala. That should hit home in the provinces.

[@sachajosgray9820]

Was that granny buying two bottles of bells?

Yae ‘ she is going to drink herself to a standstill

[@YouD0ntSay]

Hilarious! Immigrants voting against immigration.

[@averyj5446]

Indian community he said, don't all lump us together.

[@YouD0ntSay]

@@averyj5446 I don't. I do have a hunch though that the South-asian communities that voted for xenophobia, anti-immigrant, anti-forriner, hostile politics will get more than they voted for. "Be careful what you wish for."

[@bogdansandu2782]

Goodbye eastern europeans, welcome chapatti chapatti ii 😂😂

[@MidnightRambler]

I smell bs

[@Editzz2024]

I think lots of Indians and richer Asians with businesses are tories and they completely different to the average Asian who voted to remain and vote Labour

[@saturdaysbomber7502]

Ahahahah what a joke.

[@RS-nz6rn]

2:20 longest word, sooooooome 😅

[@awolpeace1781]

Oh, now your figuring out what it entails and have regrets. Good for you.

[@thelememonk]

The thing is that many Brits didn't even know what they were voting for. It would be wise and reasonable to do the second referendum. There is nothing undemocratic or against their free speech to take a second thought before leaving the EU. I believe that since the first referendum knowledge of the British people about the EU and implications of leaving it increased significantly.

[@sergeseanmison7787]

No second referendum, its either revoke article 50. Or continue on with a no deal Brexit.

[@theShadowKnightSAS]

Oof, the toxicity round here on the comments

No regrets at all we should never have joined the the parasitic organisation in the first place.

[@heliotropezzz333]

It's not parasitic. It's a protectionist club of self interested nations. What are they protecting against? Against low standards and low wages from outside the EU, leading to low prices leading to other markets undercutting theirs. Now Britain is exposed to that.

[@crazychicSHENA]

This is what happens when you over take a beautiful White nation. yes there has been few British black people but its' England/UK a White Christian nation with laws and regulations and a civilized govt and it's call parliament . So I don't feel sorry for the confusion undocumented immigrants we are having that problem across tha pond 🙄😮😲
