James O'Brien vs Boris Johnson's Brexit buffoonery

James O'Brien 3 September 2018

IMPORTANT NOTICE: In the next few weeks the volume of uploads to all of my channels will reduce substantially. I have edited, tagged and described some 5,000 videos for my three channels over the last few years and it represents an investment of 1,000s of hours of my time (unpaid). It has now reached a point where I can no longer afford to continue incurring the opportunity cost in time and £££s that investment represents.

For the 30,000 of you who have been kind enough to subscribe to this channel, thank you for your support.

The fact that the EU COUNTRIES are more United than ever is because we saw what's happening in the UK.. a total catastrophe.
That should give brexit voter smoothing to think about

[rossleeson]

One thing that really pisses me off, and I think O'Brien kind of touched on it in his opening words; this is all identity politics, and it's been shaped here on Youtube. I want facts for why people are so happy about leaving, not feelings.

40 years ago we were *the sick man of Europe* ....now to-day we are 5th largest economy on the planet ....me thinks this E.U. carry on aint to bad after all.

[lucatampellini]

I think that the idea of a "Good Brexit" was, basically, expecting to leave the bad sides of Europe but still retain all benefits.

Of course this cannot happen.

Instead what should have been suggested was to remain in the EU and convincing all the other members state in the need of changing the bad-sides of the EU?

Countries like mine, Italy, would have been on the first answerer to such call.

When Britain goes into recession post Brexit and companies start laying employees off, the employers should ask who voted Brexit and show the Brexiters the door. Let's see how they like their "British sovereignty and stronger borders" on the dole

[joecoollc]

Im from Germany, and since the brexit-chaos not even our right anti-euro party AFD is talking abozt leaving the EU anymore...

The reality that ethier Boris or Jacob are probably going to be the next Prime Minster makes you realise at this stage we are following the USA into the pale . Boris sees himself as our Donald but to be fair he's somewhat more dangerous as he isn't the buffon he portrays himself .

Mogg is more dangerous than Johnson and makes Pitt the younger look progressive . A man who can and will make radical changes ( with the help of his fellow Tory's who share the same views ) and yet has gone out of his way to convince everyone that's not the case .

I don't think May is / was a Remanier . She's always wanted a hard Brexit because then she can scrap human rights and pull us out of the human rights convention . A convention that even Russia are part of and one which was helped to be developed by British lawyers and championed by Winston Churchill.

A British bill of rights ? Never heard her say that, Cameron did not her . And it won't be worth the paper it's written on . The Torries of the 21st century are not those of the 1950s ( who had some sense of duty )

Ps I loved your tweets ..

All you need to do is to remember that it is the UK that asked for more European workers against the wishes of France & Germany.... Can Brits be responsible for their own decisions for once please ? The 40 bn are legally due, just like there will have to be hard borders in Ireland. Negotiation start once you've left, not before. The only thing you can do before is setup a framework for that negotiation, framework which probably ain't coming given that the incompetent UK politicians are still playing their renowned blame game against the EU when the debate is wholly national. Read the effing article 50 you triggered you might learn something about your own

52% voted for leave is incorrect. It was less than that as many said I did not think we would vote leave but wanted to make a protest vote.

[Formakiwi]

The words "stupid", "racist", "bigot" or "fascist", when used in a pejorative manner, are evidently far more shocking to most Britons than the behaviours that match those definitions.

20:24 - You get a shout-out from James O'B - nice. Keep up the great work I am incorrigible. I love watching/ listening to your work.

[StephenButlerOne]

17 to 18 percent of the population voted for brexit. Which was 52 percent of the turn out. Big difference.

Let's say 35 percent of the uk turned out to vote (it was about that), that would allude to 65% are happy with the status quo, if not happy they would of voted to change the status quo. So we have a about 17% want to stay, 65 are simply happy, and 18%, want to leave. So I'd say 82% stay vs 18% leave.

That is the real take from the referendum 82% stay v 18% leave.

[lucatampellini]

This said, the answer to your question "Who is going to effectively win from Brexit" is pretty simple:
1) Russians
2) Anybody on Putin's bribe-book.

Just come back from Prague, went through security, customs and check in within 25 minutes, all non EU passengers struggled to get through in under 70 minutes. I asked the lady at the ID machines what will happen after Brexit, she said you guys will queue up over here with the other non EU passengers. Well done Brexiters you just gave everyone in the UK an extra 40 minutes EACH way everytime we go on holiday in Europe. You so clever yes you are, yes you are, so clever so very clever cloggs, sweetie, so clever, yes you are, cutie pie cutie!

James you need to understand the psychology of cognitive dissonance. It really is very hard for anyone to say I made a mistake. Unfortunately the EU will likely be as dissonant in their response. It’s why perfectly sane people go to war over mere pride. Study the history of the 1st World War, without pride run amok it should never have happened

[DanielleKingdjdinosaur]

europe does not have as much to lose as we do.They are 27 countries and we are a breaking up united kingdom

[marycuffe]

boris johnson wants to be like trump, hes getting there

[rolandtennapel]

As a Dutch person, I take offense; Holland isn't a country, but a region covering 2 provinces ;-p

[mcz]

In french there is a phrase that comes to my mind when I hear brexiters: "Tout cons et tout contents de l'etre"

[SilverShamrock]

Brexit is about convincing turkeys to vote for Christmas
