A song that mentions ignoreing your own financial experts saying its a horrible idea, that will have bad consequences.
Makes fun people being against such, and sings:

"The British told them to fuck off. Seventeen million fuck-offs."

Thats not funny, thats scary as fack.

Stupid is, as stupid does... I guess.
This is like how 33% of americans think Trump is still doing a fantastic job, of dealing with the corona virus.

Like how? how are there so many people support these things?
I believe time will tell..... but even if the UK economy shrinks by like 20-30% over the comeing years, and Scotland gets its independence, or NI is reunited.... somehow there will still be some saying that brexit was the right thing to do.

Whoah.......... What planet are you from? =P

Theres a transition periode until dec 31st 2020.
UK is currently enjoying the same rules and laws, its had since it was a member of the EU.

Its first from Jan 1st 2021, that your expected to do things your own way.
Also why do you suspect there will be shortages of medicines? and foods?

WTO rules will apply, and you ll just have to buy them at slightly higher prices.

US has already made it clear, it will bend over the UK in trade negotiations. America 1st! Not just a empty slogan with Trump.
China? well after the "uk hong kong citizenship" thingy, china probably isn't feeling too generous with the UK.

its not scary, the song is exactly about people being able to decide their future even with most of theboress putting you under project fear to decide otherwise. To call you racist because you want brexit. That say old people should not vote because its not their future. That wants to shame you and put you in the wrong side of history hecause you think different. That wants to shame you because you are against open borders. And too all that the british said fuck off.

Twice as in the recent elections the conservatives had a major victory.

A LOT of english people dont care about scotland getting independance, they see it more as an annoyance to have this discussion all the time and really dont care if they follow their own path, as long as england can stop sending them money.

There is another side of this story than what is shown at bbc, the guardian and social media.

Pyro as Bill.

So just ignore facts and reality, and talk about the "greatness" of a once upon a time, GB?
(the past is the past, we re talking the next 25-50 years here instead)

80% of GDP for the UK is Financial & services, that they mainly get from Europe.
The not getting a free trade agrement with EU (ei. just hard crashing into WTO rules) will mean you risk loseing large quantities of that.

Remember the brexiteers used to call all this stuff "Project Fear"?
(ofc EU wouldn't risk UK leaveing without a deal, and will make sure some form of free trade agreement is given, EU needs UK, more than it needs them, they will bend over if push comes to shove)

Reality?
EU has been saying the same thing over and over, and the UK just ignores it.
UK is basically gambleing with its economy, hopeing the EU saves them from themselves (and it doesnt look like this will happend).
Its just driveing the car towards the cliff edge, and intending to go over it.

Reality :

(UK trade secretary leaked letter, in a panic of how things will turn out)
(border infrastructure wont be ready, until april/july of 2021. Smuggleing + legal trouoble with WTO to come from this. This comes from your own Trade secretary)

*also this is "disaster for firms tradeing within the EU" (by her words). Apparently this "half year" long gap without anything in place will hurt businesses.

Mark Francois writes a mocking letter to EU, to score points amoung brexit voters.
Michel Barnier replies in a very diplomatic way.

(incompetence and curruption)

UK decides it wont use EU satilites for military and such, to get its own.
Only issue? it bought the wrong type of satalites.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kui7R3MOhRY

We re Great Britain, we dont need the EU.
And i ll prove it, by getting our own nav satilites! Procedes to spend a ton of money, on something not able to do what it was supposed to do.

Didn't realize CANZUK was even a thing until today. Would a stronger business, trade, and overall political relationship between a few of the Commonwealth Nations be seen as a good thing for the UK with Brexit?

Brexit = we dont want anyone telling us what to do!


"CANZUK is an acronym for the theoretical political and economic union of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom as part of an international body similar in scope to the former European Economic Community. This includes increased trade, foreign policy co-operation, military co-operation and mobility of citizens between the four states." - Wikipedia


So working with the EU isnt something the UK wants..... but its okay joining another smaller version seemingly heading the same direction as the EU? by think-tanks.

"Canada, Australia and New Zealand are former settler colonies of the British Empire where people of British ethnic origin came to constitute the majority of the population." - Wikipedia

Okay... so the reason it wants it.... is because in the great old days of the British Empire! things where great, britain ruled the waves and the world.
What are the chances that the UK as the old rulers, won't want "special privilages" like they did in the EU? to join Canzuk? Will CANZUK be the future scapegoat by UK politicans? and then a Brexit 2.0 (with Canzuk) (okay Im jumping too far ahead here).


Thats a hellva spread out empire though.
Canada + Austalia + UK is basically 3 points as far away from each other, on the planet as humanly possible.

Because that makes for fantastic and easy trade.
Why trade with nearby neighbors, when you can travel half way around the world, to do the same?

Can't see it as a bad thing. Trade deals between nations is usually beneficial to both specially in business and trade. Political is a little bit more complicated and depend on other factors on the table.

Lets see:

Australia:
(biggest) Imports : Refined petrolium, crude petrolium, cars, delivery trucks, broadcasting equiptment,...
(biggest) exports : Coal, Iron ores, Gold, Copper.

Canada:
(biggest) Imports : Cars, Refined petrolium, delievery trucks, Computers.
(biggest) exports : Crude petrolium, cars, Refinded petrolium, Gold, Vehicle Parts.

Canda benefits alot from trade with Australia:
Alright so already we see that canada + australia makes good sense to trade with one another.
Australia needs cars + petrolium, and Canada has alot of that.
Canada needs iron, and australia has that.

You notice that both countries sell petrolium, and import it.
Both also have gold, exports.  Canada sells cars, and also imports alot of them.

UK:

(biggest) Imports :  Cars, Gold, Refined Petrolium, Crude Petrolium, Packaged medicines.
(biggest) exports :  Cars, Crude Petrolium, Gold, Gas Turbines, Packaged medicines.

Apparently the UK buys alot of gold, and sells it to others.
Same with medicine, it comes in and then goes out.

Australia needs things it doesnt produce itself.
Canada exports alot of the things it needs.

UK? Im not sure where it fits in, but im sure theres things to be traded back and forth between the nations.
Im not sure its some magical fix that ll come anywhere close to what its loseing from leaveing the EU's single market.

The politics I can totally see being touchy, as even I wasn't all that keen on that portion myself. Though I can see the thought process behind it since we're all part of 'the same family', if you will. I wondered what some opinions would be and didn't want to muddy them by saying what I thought first. Also I just found out about it so I gotta look into it more, but perhaps someone across the pond knew better what it was all about.

The business and trade would make more sense, but I would assume the UK would want to keep trading as much as possible with the EU where it potentially could, and then possibly deal with lesser beneficial trade with CANZUK partners for some of the rest. Not sure how tough the EU is being with the UK on this and where it's likely to end up. Having a back up plan isn't a bad idea though.
