    Putting his comedic insertions aside, it was the best explanation of what Brexit is really all about that I have seen to date.

    The chaos of us electing Trump and the British voting for Brexit illustrate how completely clueless the majority of the populaton is in matters that will affect them directly. Half of those who voted for chaos too lazy too find out. The other half too gullible to question it.

    John Oliver truly is awesome.

    Economic collapse, political isolation, and a probable collapse of the Union if Scotland declares independence and N. Ireland joins the Republic would hardly be good. This could reduce the UK to a state similar to Eastern Europe in the early 90s.

    I like how he doesn't address the problems that they were having which caused a majority to vote to leave the EU.

    He is obviously only presenting the liberal viewpoint.

    How about we have a fair discussion and talk about how their participation in the EU was hurting them more than leaving it will?

    Maybe if Mr. Oliver was impartial he would also add the benefits they will gain by leaving it.

    Doubt that will ever happen however.

    Well that explains it so well that you should have been the spokesperson who could have explained it to the folks in the video that realized and admitted that they, like most other voters, did not understand enough to actually vote on the referendum.

    Some are strong enough to face short term pain for long term gain.
    The rest are meow kitties or whores for Brussels

    They understood it just fine.

    All of this was discussed non-stop before the vote.

    It's not like anyone hadn't heard about the problems leaving would cause.

    lol

    That's how bad that being in the EU actually was for them.

    And all these so called problems are not really problems, Britain did just fine with them before they entered the EU.

    Just more liberal fear mongering.

    Don't give me that crap. They had to ****ing lie to get a Leave win and now the UK is ****ed. If Leave was a legit movement, they would have been able to sell it without resorting to propaganda and the UK economy wouldn't be crashing having been freed of the supposed negatives.

    You xenophobic lot are self-destructive and the rest of us don't want to go down in flames with you.

    You can't brand opposition to mass migration as xenophobia and win elections. It won't work in Germany or France let alone Britain.

    Ahh, I see, so the only reason for opposition to mass migration is racial fear.

    Please say that loud and proud so the European electorate can hear clearly.

    Leaving the EU is a very good move for their freedom and economy....but the globalist libs will spin the fake news 'sky is falling' bs because they want the UK to subsidize the EU's welfare programs and house illegals.

    I was in London a few months ago and I swear it's 1/3 muslims. That place is turning into a s**thole and FAST.

    The EU makes a select few very wealthy.
    Their lap dogs sit on the floor awaiting their table scraps

    Yep....the only problem with Brexit is the incompetent woman heading it. Theresa needs to go. This is a man's job.

    Indeed. In the UK and the US, people fell for right-wing extremist agendas and now they see the consequences. Every time that people fall for bigoted demagoguery, the world suffers.

    You do realize that France is next on the list for leaving the EU don't you? Setting the sovereignty issues aside and just looking at the economics it is stupid for a country like the UK to stay in since they are a net payer in the system meaning they had to pay other countries for their incompetence. Had the EU consisted of the UK and northern Europe it might have worked but since they including the crappy countries like Italy, Spain, Greece and others it was doomed to failure since those countries are worse at managing their finances and taxes than Wesley Snipes. Everyone knows about Greece but many people aren't aware that the EU has had to bail out the Italian banks three times now staving off a complete collapse of the Italian banking system.

    What the UK did wrong was slow rolling the exit and trying to move like a snail. Its like removing a band-aid, just rip the ****ing thing off and get it over with. The first thing they should have done is set up a nice trade deal with the US, Japan and other non-EU countries but instead that idiot May uses a rowboat in a speedboat race.
