The Brexit deal has implications for personal finances. Stay informed on currency fluctuations, review investments, monitor regulatory changes, and seek professional advice. Adapt wisely for a secure financial future.

Brexit was absolutely necessary so that the City of London could avoid the new “anti tax-haven” legislation from Europe and continue to be the money laundering, tax avoiding, black money capital of the world.
I know we like to think of immigrants and African countries as corrupt and underhand, but take a peek at the City of London’s dealings and you’ll learn the true meaning of those terms.

We didn't take back control, we just gave it away to someone else, who proceeded to make money out of it (for themselves).

[kallekonttinen]

Thanks Britain! You made experiment that proved that making policy according tabloids and Putin and leaving EU is madness. We 27 appreciate that you were ready for sacrifice.

[derekmab]

The UK is committing suicide because of arrogance, xenophobia, nationalism and isolationism and these ideologies are killers of a nation because they are uncompatible with the real world. Any successful business emphasises on synergy, cooperation and partnership. If the Brits were smart enough they should have refrained from ideology and emotions but focus on rationality and common sense.

[shakthidhasan]

The country with Oxford and Cambridge can be so stupid.

[neiss]

Absolutely. Before Brexit UK was only half-heartedly in the EU, blocking almost every resolution because it didn’t align with its interests. Now that UK is out of the EU, despite the great and sad loss, the EU functions way better and more efficiently. And the Britons are more convinced than ever that the EU is good, so in hindsight Brexit is a win-win success.

You could even keep that crown stamp on your pint glasses while inside the EU 😊. No rules against that. You could put whatever you wanted on your glasses.

[squamish]

No, it should not have. But it's okay. Ukraine will take the place of the UK as an economic powerhouse in the EU.

[TheDafxf]

What an absolute fantastic video about the benefits of Brexit 👍🏻 I’m so sorry I voted Brexit and I feel a fool now 😩

[romanjimenezgil]

For Brits in Spain ( emigrants ) their right to vote in local elections has been reduced...another benefit...or the problem with driving licence, moving dogs, importing cars....thanks to Brexit

[penshaw]

Absolutely right Stella if only you could get your leader to face up to the realities of Brexit instead of keep lying about Brexit like the Tories.

[greenfrog]

it was absolutely essential that the UK leave so that the EU could grow and prosper. The UK was just holding back the continent.

[mgm]

I admire her voice and the way of speech. She is truly fabulous and brilliant.

[desmneylon]

Well said Madam. Should be compulsive listening for all Brexiters.

[johandekeyster]

the strange thing is .... all of the information shared in the video was shared in the European press before Brexit .... not in the UK press ?

[antonysmyth]

Leaving was a con, and a majority did not want it by the exit date. Now more people smell the rot. Return ASAP.

[martynnelson]

Who voted to allow a referendum=MP s
Who voted to trigger article 50 and start the leave process=MP s
Why now are MPs complaining about what MPs voted for in parliament. Referendum was advisory .

[celtspeaksgoth]

This is the woman who was stopped from brst feeding in the Chamber as the other female MPs were fed up by her attention-seeking antics. Never a bandwagon left unjumped on.

[leonardbexter]

The referendum question was "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?". Simple as that. Why are you so surprised that you have "Brexit in name only" now? You have exactly what you have voted for.
