Comments by "Nigel Johnson" (@nigeljohnson9820) on "Did French President Emmanuel Macron sum up Brexit better than the British?" video.

No he does not understand, one of the functions of brexit is to reorganise the UK economy to regain control of our mean of production, our utilities, our infrastructure and our critical industries including agriculture and fisheries. The intention is to make the country more self sufficient and less dependent on EU imports. A no deal brexit will put up the tariff barriers between the EU and the UK to force this to happen. He may promise to protect French access to UK coastal water, but it is not a promise he can keep.

@timbow03 if you are concerned about the theft of your country, you should be resisting the EU super state project, as the logical conclusion is that all member states are subsumed into the EU superstate monoculture, becoming nothing more than regions with no more power than a local council.

It provides endless amusement.

@Matteinko definitely sarcasm.

@kevt3318 EU news is the pravda of the USSEU.

You must mean that the members of the EU have not realised that the UK is leaving without a deal. What is amazing is that those who what to remain have not worked out hat the UK simply can it afford to stay in the EU. Apart for the not insignificant membership fee and the cost of implementing EU directives, the UK has a total trade deficit with the EU of £80 billion per annum. Much has been made of our need for these imports, but it is EU policy to bind member states together by development of codependency. Much of what we import could be produced in the UK. Tariffs will make UK production more competitive, reducing EU imports. I acknowledge there will be a short term shock as the UK economy is restructured.

@nuclearcatbaby1131 the us is not trying to take over, and dealing with the rest of the world does require the adoption of the four freedoms. If I shop at a super market, it does not give the super market staff the right to live with me.

@philipocarroll it is not a Marxist slogan when applied to whole countries. It is an anti globalist slogan, as you will soon find when French public utilities are sold off to foreign investors. The only reason it has not happened yet is because successive French governments have resisted the loss of control of vital infra structure, industries and the means of production. Macron is a globalist and has no such qualms.

@luci75d76 you clearly do not know the price of freedom or are willing to pay it.

@TBFSJjunior brexit is a means to an end, not an end in itself. It is a tool by which different ends can be achieved, not all simultaneously. It is possible for different people to conclude the EU has failed the UK, and want to end involvement with it, without having the same goal for its replacement. This does not mean that their assessment that the EU is bad for the UK is wrong, it just means they disagree what should replace it.

@TBFSJjunior in you world you redefine the sunniest place in the world as the Antarctic. We have had forty plus years in the EU and the sun has failed to shine here, so we are going elsewhere. Repeating the same experiment and expecting a different result is madness. We have established that the UK's future is bleak inside the EU, better to look for a better future outside.

@TBFSJjunior when you are at the South pole, no matter which way you go you are heading north. The EU has been demonstrable proven to be bad for the UK, so any direction is an improvement. The very fact that the selfserving elite do not want it to happen is a guide to its value.

@TBFSJjunior your analysis of the effects of brexit may be flawed. Freedom from the domination of the EU is a price worth paying for the long term future of the UK. Your own comments about the loss of British industry show how bad the EU has been for the UK.

@TBFSJjunior typical EU supporter, shrug and say "don't blame us", while a major portion of UK law made in Brussels. It is just a coincidence that the period of EU membership corresponds to a dramatic decline in UK productive industries. It really does not matter as the decision to leave has been made.

@TBFSJjunior it really depends on who you believe is pulling the strings. At the very minimum the EU is complicit in the UK goverment's actions.

@mrspone1000 no, but you can make life very difficult for them if they do not do what you want. Certainly utilities, public utilities and critical assets may find it very difficult to make a profit in private ownership. This may well encourage renationalisation. Outside the EU, the government will have more opportunity to renationalisation in the national interest.

@mrspone1000 that maybe what they are planning, it may not be what they succeed in doing.

@pedrom7999 you tell me, I am not aware that conservative policy is published on the see of an bus. I think a better question might be how much do people believe anything politicians say or even if they believe an advertisement content. Met are sufficiently cynical not to believe such advertisement. We know why a politician is lying, their lips move. The is particularly true of EU politicians and eurocrats. It is only necessary to look at where they have a vested interest. News today about the salary and perks of Mr Juncker make it clear what is in his self interest.
