Comments by "Roger Bennett" (@rogerbennett9641) on "Theresa May urges EU to 'evolve' position on Brexit" video.

  1. It would be pointless turning the UK into a mini version of the EU by creating an autocratic state, we either prove once again that democracy serves the people or the foreseeable future is looking very grim.

  2. The NI border issue has been solved, if the EU wish to make it a problem they will regret it. Gibraltar is not a problem the will of Gibralterians will decide it's future.

  3. Why would the EU do a deal with the UK when they have the rest of the world to deal with, they will commit some of their states to economic suicide to protect their creation and if they don't like it they can go whistle they sure as hell aint going anywhere. It's such a jolly little club.

  4. Brexiteers think we are so reasonable we can come to agreement with any country that is able to operate in it's own interests without being tied in to a self interested bureaucratic body that has designed a rules based system that has bankrupted the majority of economies it has power over and has an agenda to destroy the identity of the people who populate the countries it controls.

  5. What examples can you provide of countries once controlled by the British Empire where the destruction of the identity of their people was a policy agenda. The fact that people emulated the British to improve their circumstances is something completely different. What countries of the empire had economies that were in a poorer position after independence than before British control. Interesting that you compare the subject of the British Empire in a comment about the EU, does that mean you view the EU as an attempt at empire building, if so we are in agreement on that. The only reason for me voting leave is to ensure that when the UK has a general election the government that is elected will run this country with deference to no other body. In other words they will be elected to govern with regard to the views of the British people as they are struggling to do now while still attempting to satisfy the interests of the EU, which is a flawed approach. Not until we have left the EU will they consider what future relationship they want to have with us, these last 2 years should have been spent deciding how we deal with the effects of independence and how to operate as an independent country.

  6. There is no evidence to support the idea that there was a policy to destroy the identity of the people of India, indeed the British attempt at subjugating the people probably led to increased support for national identity. As far as I know the economy of India has benefited from the British Empire through it's contact with a more modern developed economy and a willingness of the British to accept the inevitable and rightful return to independence and cooperation in aid of that end, no doubt subject to the usual political posturing and prejudices. The EU empire on the other hand is a much more intelligent attempt at subjugation of the majority by destroying national identity and involvement or ability to debate policies that affect people by having a remote opaque ruling system that does not answer directly to the people. Decisions are made by the elite for the elite and cascaded down to the proles as being for the good of humanity and agreed by their own representatives so there is no grounds for dissent. So although all around you your quality of life is reduced it is just your misconception and really everything is much better.

  9. That is there problem were your prediction to become a reality, why don't you give them the benefit of your insight.

  10. A final say on what? The point of Brexit was to have the opportunity to have general elections in the UK that elect a government that runs the country and not an authority that carries out the orders of an undemocratic opaque foreign body. That issue has been decided, until we have experienced the benefits or otherwise of that decision there is no reason or cause to change it. Emotional outcries, prophecies of doom and unverifiable propaganda from the losers are just what is to be expected from irrational dreamers.
