The Brexit Road To Ruin, 2024

The UK’s membership of the European Union gave us so many benefits that we’ve now lost through Brexit. It’s so important to keep talking about Brexit to keep the pressure on Keir Starmer and the Labour government to prioritise a route back to EU membership. The EU ISN’T perfect, but its sole purpose is to maximise the long-term social, economic and security interests of its 27 member countries. Reapplying for membership of the EU is Britain’s best defence against the political, economic, environmental and security threats posed by a rapidly changing world.

I appreciate all of you who share my videos with friends and social media. Together, let's help put pressure on this centrist government to be more radical in their plans to tackle poverty, public ownership of public utilities, employment rights, an ever closer relationship with the EU, and the redistribution of wealth through fairer taxation.

Unlike those weird new right wing TV "news" channels and ultra right wing "think tanks" that are always on mainstream telly, Truth To Power receives no hidden funding. Or any funding, come to that, except YouTube partner programme advertising revenue, and YouTube $uperthanks donations from viewers.

As well as sharing the videos on social media and with your friends, hitting the Like button and subscribing to the channel is also really helpful, as it tells YouTube to offer these videos to a wider audience.

Obviously, any rejoining of the EU can only happen IF the EU wants this. And let's be honest, the UK's behaviour when it was a member, with an incessant demands for "exceptions", hasn't left fond memories.

Theresa May was fond of saying that Brexit meant Brexit; no - Brexit meant political and economic suicide for the UK; and unless Starmer has a rethink, it's hard to see any significant steps being taken to rejoin the EU anytime soon.

Sheer arrogance of british to think that they are somehow superior to other European nations has brought themselves down.

I don't know who came up with the following, but it's so true:
'Watching Brexit happening was like watching your local library being burned down by people who cannot read!' Spot on...

Thank you Rob, good Morning, yes, we've lost so much, I too really resent loosing my EU Citizenship, also it is now virtually impossible for me to send Christmas and Birthday Presents to my Son and his Family in Berlin, Friends in other parts of Germany or my Cousin and his Family in France, Brexit is the most divisive act of self harm this Country has ever undertaken, I shall never forgive those responsible.

When I see the investment in Spain in the last 30 years, you see the effect of the EU. Roads, bridges, trains, city public services. The EU flag flies alongside the Spanish flags. No embarrassment. The UK is quickly becoming the poor man of Europe again.

It was really telling when Sunak said that Northern Ireland "had the best of both worlds". Brexit was definitely the biggest act of self harm by the UK.

The biggest act of self harm ever....

I bought so much from the UK before Brexit, now never

[verttikoo]

Really. UK suddenly didn’t only become a 3rd country for the EU, but also a 3rd country for the rest of the world.

Good on you for making sure people don't forget what the true cost of Brexit is. Bravo, monsieur! 🎉

Brexit - like setting fire to your house then saying it is better living in a caravan or a tent.

[Notalloldpeople]

Leave voters got what they voted for. A more isolated, marginalised, diminished and economically declining state increasingly reliant on migrant labour to prop up the economy in the face of an aging population and problematic dependency ratio.

The EU can't afford to have the UK back ... mostly because of British arrogance and exceptionalism ... after the havoc we created for them, we would still expect to rejoin with the same benefits we enjoyed previously. It's mind blowing arrogance ... so Starmer is quite correct in saying NOT IN MY LIFETIME!!!

[paznewis]

Quite right to keep this in the forefront of our thoughts. Thanks Rob.

HI Rob, Brit in Poland, we have economic growth of 3.6 percent and i saw the British press going orgasmic at 0.6, who are the losers.

[mototom]

I ordered a package through Amazon. After 3 weeks it still hasn't arrived. I won't order anything from England anymore.
Greetings from Germany

[michaelgoss]

Thank you Rob. I agree with you completely, but it will take a long time.

[janohara]

Brexit was another form of populism, developed over time by prejudice and vested interest via the media, social media and the ERG faction of the Tory Party.
Unless populism is challenged coherently, consistently and confidently, it will win out. So thank you so much for this and keep them coming.
From a passionate British European

UK politicians including Starmer don’t get the fact that the UK post Brexit is irrelevant on the world stage.
