  1. They are fighting age men. If they were asylum seekers they would have claimed asylum in the first safe country. Britain is an island. Therefore they are all economic migrants. Most people don’t want them and the few that do would change their mind after the types of crime that comes with them.

  2. No deal Brexit is what we voted for. Getting to leave the EU under WTO trade terms is fantastic. Nobody voted to only leave a little bit.

  3. You are conflating the sovereignty of parliament with the purpose of the referendum. The referendum was an instance where parliament gave up its right to decide on a particular issue. However after the people voted 80% of the MPs got elected on manifestos that stated they would honour the result. Then again 80% of MPs voted to leave deal or not on the 29th march. If they don’t honour the referendum, their own manifestos and the withdrawal act then they will lose the support of the public. Then it’s yellow vest time.

  4. Perfect line from Farage. “We can’t split the leave vote. We are the only party offering it”

  5. wiamoaw the Labour manifesto actually didn’t say that it would keep us in the customs union. It stated it would leave the EU and honour the referendum result. I’ve just read it I suggest you do too. Staying in the customs union is not leaving the EU. Here is Corbyn even saying it. https://youtu.be/m6S9rMZOKJY Those parties that wouldn’t honour the result in their manifestos saw their votes decline. 80% of MPs (that includes Labour) voted to leave on the 29th deal or not. You may not like the result but if you believe in democracy then you should honour it.

  6. Amazing how much project fear C4 can cram in to one segment. No mention of our trade advantage with the EU because we run a 4/3 deficit. No mention that on the day we leave we would be more compliant with every EU regulation than most of the EU. No mention that 1/3 of All cars sold in the UK are imported from Germany and the UK is Germany’s biggest car market. The reality is trade will go on and no deal Brexit is what people voted for. Nobody voted for half Brexit or Brexit in name only.

  7. MVE it’s not a democracy any more. 1167 days ago we voted to leave. We haven’t left. What’s the point in voting?

  8. These people are abusing their own child.

  9. Traitors. We voted to leave 32 months ago.

  10. Daniël van Werven we are owed money from the EU not the other way around. Who paid for everything! We paid in more every single year than we got out except the year we joined! Are we going to get all our assets back?

  11. His hatred of democracy is on full show.

  12. The reality is we voted to leave. We won you lost. Arguing 2016 over and over again is irrelevant. Leave means leave even if you wish the outcome had been different respect the vote.

  13. Begging foreigners to release us. Pathetic woman.

  14. Unending bias from the media.

  15.  @stephenjon3502  if they were asylum seekers why didn’t they claim asylum in the first safe country or the half dozen after that before the UK? It’s because they are economic migrants. They can be turned back. It’s a political decision not to.

  16. Kai Jäger we want WTO rules. That’s the best deal for us and then if Germany wants continued access to their biggest car export market they can ask nicely.

  17. PanglossDr name the broken agreement?

  18. Ingo Zachos the Scots voted to remain in the union. If they left the union and wanted to join the EU they would be treated even worse than the UK. They know that and without English taxpayer support their economy would collapse. Their social programs would end. We voted to leave the EU by 1.3 million votes. Quite a big democratic margin.

  19. Disgraceful “Journalism” aside these MPs are simply refusing to allow us to leave the EU. They hold the voters in contempt.

  20. Matt OToole the head of the OECD who said it wasn’t a problem? But C4 didn’t use that clip for some reason?

  21. Sure

  22. Stuart Summers we joined without a vote! We voted retrospectively. It took 41 years to get another one and 1167 days later they still won’t let us leave. Straight away would have been over three years ago!

  23. Daniël van Werven agreed upon while we were members not in perpetuity. Now we are leavings wNt our share of the assets like in any divorce. Who paid for much of everything? The UK. Our percentage of debt owed to the EU should be given back along with the structures and institutions we helped pay for. Some people think we can forgive the EU the debt for a clean break but I belong to the group that says we should get our money back before we allow access to our markets.

  24. Ingo Zachos the only home nation with a significant desire to leave the union is Scotland. It just voted to remain....again. That’s democracy. As to the EU the “Right to leave” you quote is from the Lisbon treaty otherwise known as the EU constitution. The same constitution that was resoundingly rejected by two of the founding EU nations Netherlands and France. Of course these two referendums were ignored and the EU simply rebranded it a treaty. The man that wrote it even admitted it! If the EU is a democracy then please explain how your MEP can’t enact legislation? Please explain how many votes the EU president got from his electorate?

  25. The whole thing is a banana republic show trial.

  26. D WG ignoring the biggest electoral mandate in our history can not be excused with weasel words.

  27. Stuart Summers waffle. Unless that’s the argument you would have made had you won the referendum ;-)

  31. Volker Hett 1 in 3 cars sold in the UK is German. You make good cars :-) If you want to sell them in the UK after we leave tariff free be nice to your biggest customer.

  32. wiamoaw “Advisory” Not heard that in a while.

  33. wiamoaw If you were to say he parsed his words I would agree. However the Labour manifesto does not say it would remain in the customs union. Corbyn is on video saying that. He and the rest of the Labour Party were elected on that manifesto. So to recap. Promised to respect the result. Elected on a manifesto that said leave the customs union and would respect the result of the referendum. Voted for the withdrawal act whose default position was a no deal Brexit.

  34. untergehermuc countries are lining up to do business with us. WTO is the basis for trade throughout the world. Side deals are extremely common and can be agreed almost immediately. Trade problems are part of project fear 2.0 WTO is so much better than being tied to the EU. We will not have to only be one voice out of 28 when the EU negotiates with the WTO we will have our own voice that acts in our interests only. The head of the WTO predicts no significant problems with trade after a no deal Brexit. Here he is saying it. https://youtu.be/iPUW1TFT7CY

  35. Ingo Zachos fair and free elections!!!! By who? Not voters! There are three EU presidents. Again you haven’t explained why your MEP can’t enact legislation. How is that democracy? When the constitution was rejected how was it it democratic that it was repackaged as a treaty and implemented anyway? You can be pro EU all you like but it’s not a democracy and having a rubber stamp parliament and useless MEPs and unelected Presidents are just the illusion of democracy. You can’t have a democratic EU as there is no people of Europe. There is no European demos. (People) A Frenchman is not a Scot is not a Bulgarian.

  36. Werbekball only one Union is democratic.

  37. 1167 days ago and still they refuse to honour the referendum!

  38. Still no coverage of Biden leaving classified documents everywhere???

  39. They should have been preparing for Brexit at the start of the referendum campaign. It’s disgraceful that the only thing they have been doing for three years is trying to reverse Brexit!

  40. Bobby Crush Brexit party all the way.

  41. Stuart Summers what a clever argument. The truth is you lost but refuse to accept it. Just like the remoaner parliament. You don’t care about democracy because if you did you would be outraged that it is being betrayed.

  42. Nathan H have we left?

  43. 1167 days after we voted to leave and all they do is try to reverse Brexit. This isn’t a democracy.

  44. Completely one sided as usual. C4 couldn’t be more pro EU.

  45. Corey Brass a tired analogy. If you don’t believe in democracy what system do you want? Communism? A dictatorship? You can be upset with the result of democracy, we all are sometimes, but respect the result.

  46. Nicholas Woolfenden who said we had to join the TPP If Australia wants to continue trading with us they will. It’s likely trade will grow as we become more competitive.

  47. TorianTammas actually the government and parliament overwhelmingly voted to leave on the 29th deal or not. No deal means we save £39 billion on day one. That’s why we don’t want a “Deal”

  48. The bias at C4 always surprises me. The EU doesn’t get to decide how we vote. We voted to leave....three years ago. Three years ago nobody voted for a “Deal” If Tusk doesn’t want to discuss a clean Brexit then he doesn’t represent Europe very well. Mind you it’s not like he’s accountable to voters or anything.

  49. Most university degrees are worthless. We need to stop lying to children telling them they have to go to university.
