Donald Trump’s victory wasn’t the only 2016 election result to shock the world. Just months earlier voters in the United Kingdom made history when they opted for Brexit, thereby initiating the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union. While the two elections took place on opposite sides of the world, the roots of both winning movements can be traced to similar origins. British journalist Mehdi Hasan talks about the role of racial grievances from the US to the UK, where things stand with Brexit, and how many people are feeling intense ‘Bregret’.

Medi Hassanis just the greatest journalist of all time. I had no idea how he got to the USA, but I[m thinking it has to do with “pay” as in “salary” of some knd. I worship the dude.
Stop beating around the bush and call it what it is. White supremacy !!!
What is?
@Mind Freshener …. troll.
@della junis So you don’t know either!
I’ve learned to not waste my time with willfully ignorant people. The racism in this country has gone from covert to overt …. ✌.
Amerikkka was established as a racist white society, founded upon the near genocide of an entire race of people then the enslavement of another race of people. It can’t be redeemed. It is what it is !!!
Preach!!!, Farage is the biggest snakes oil men I’ve ever seen.
You have to understand what security the BoE demands in order to print pounds from thin air and “lend” them to the government. It is directly tied to the “human resource” security which the government mortgages. Naturally the lilly-white guest workers from the EU don’t cut the mustard. That’s why Farage wants to block them and restore the ‘primitive brown people’ from the colonies, quota. They multiply like rabbits and don’t go back to their countries.
NB: Mehdi’s comment about UK doing Brexit is the single most self damaging thing ever in any western democracy. His opponents, of course, would say rather it was some aspect of the immigration thing, Note, however, the tremendous similarity between Mehdi’s statement and PUTIN’s claim that the break up of the USSR was the greatest catastrophe ever in (???’s; Russia’s?? history). The similarity in the two claims has a lot to do with an alleged accidental, unexpected quality in the respective events. Brexit and the breakup of the USSR. I’m amazed that Mehdi himself did not flag the similarity of his statement and Putin’s oft repeated claim.
As a brit I fully agree
Brexit = 💩💩💩💩💩💩 👈🏿 this will live with us Brits for generations until those distant future brits will then consider going back to being a member of the block again 🤦🏿♂️
I applaud this. But I await Haynes doing a show with a proper opponent.
Love what he said about fighting against racism, that we can’t win by meeting them halfway. Great discussion!
This is all great content but it’s gonna take me a week to get through the 18-20 hours worth of material that was posted.
