What the hell is going on with this video? Weird audio and bad clips.

Agreed! This Is F***ed up because all the jokes are useless without the clips. The whole thing becomes useless, it's like a whole list of punchlines without the joke, and a few jokes without punchlines.

It's not a link to original HBO content, it's somebody's own edited version on Youtube.

It's almost certainly to avoid YouTube copyright detection.

I just checked the LWT youtube channel. Looks like HBO hasn't uploaded the 'John reacts to Brexit' yet. Once it's up, hopefully we can replace this crappy embed.

Ouch. Let me know when the real video is up. That was painful.

thank @PlayhousePals for hbo link

Aww shucks ... 'tweren't nuthin

Now that this embed is updated, where did the 2nd half go?

I can't invoke it, but there's a full alternative here until the official one's available:

Go go Ireland and Scotland.

This is the version I posted originally but with slightly better audio, if you want to hear the last couple of minutes.

I have friends in Scotland. They think it is highly unlikely either Ireland or Scotland will leave the U.K. over this. Apparently there are some vocal groups calling for a vote but public opinion in general seems apathetic to the idea, especially as the Scots apparently enjoy a great deal of financial support from being in the U.K. and losing that support would cost more than any benefits gained from independence.

Nobody can deny that the current situation made the life of that lady and her children infinitely more complicated, and it will make it more miserable in the future.

However, what about all the Chavs? No, I'm not being sarcastic. What about all the people whose life can hardly become more miserable, because it's been miserable all along with no hope for improvement? Life is shit for a lot of people, and it has been for a long time.

What were their options in this referendum?

Remain told them that their quality of living would decline in case of a Brexit, and that it would decline more slowly if they remain part of the EU. In short, they offered them fuck all. Any notion of reforming the EU from within to make it care about the proletariat is an illusion, and a costly one if you look at either Greece or the recessionary EU in general.

So they went with the demagogues, who spewed such outrageous lies that even Goebbels would be ashamed. But they made an offer nonetheless.

All this talk about stock prices or the exchange value of the Pound is meaningless dribble if you live in places like Nuneaton. How is telling them all to sod off an irrational decision if all they did for decades was shit on you?

So yeah, I fucking hate the anti-immigration part of the discussion. It's despicable. But the patronising reactions from not just the elites but also large swaths of the Remain campaign gives me assteroids.

The casual way they discuss how to ignore or reverse the result of the referendum is a sign of why it went this way in the first place. They look down on the decision made by "those people". It makes no sense to them, so it has to be irrational. Silly plebs are not informed enough to make smart decisions, let's educate them. Or better yet, let's make the decisions for them.

It just oozes condescension. And it breeds contempt.

To end on a personal note: how the German government now appears to be the moderating factor on the EU side is beyond fucked up, given how they were the ones to piss on the plebs the most with their anal fixation on austerity. You really cannot make this shit up...

Edit:
Here's one for sovereignty: just last night, Jean-Claude Juncker said that the European Commission doesn't want national parliaments to vote on CETA. What's the point of democracy then?

Globalist media are hard at work spinning the shit out of this.

Thousands of rules and regulations to negotiate and all that being said is that the voted out because they are dumb racists.
