The guy at 0:35 basically sums up the attitude that somehow endured and lead to Brexit.

Why Michael Caine was wearing a headscarf at the beginning is beyond me.
The first one is a classic, everytime I see it I can't get over the fact that while it is stupid, it is also endearing.

It was before he got the part in the Italian Job....Why Michael Caine was wearing a headscarf at the beginning is beyond me.
That last bloke nearly sacrificed his life, and not to get rid of fascism and nazism, but so we can keep dividing things into twelfths. I must have missed that Churchill speech.

"Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious metric apparatus of the Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.That last bloke nearly sacrificed his life, and not to get rid of fascism and nazism, but so we can keep dividing things into twelfths. I must have missed that Churchill speech.
Brexit makes so much more sense after watching that.

If schools are going to teach this, it will set us back years in wasted time. I've got to the stage where I don't care if those idiots sell it as some propaganda like they do everything else but if they really mean it...So in order to placate a bunch of idiots who have had forty fecking years to learn the new system and still can't understand it, we're going to feck everything up for 90% of the population? Cool, cool.
We'll see United Transfer Fee style conversions as well so businesses can line their pockets with a few extra crowns. "1 pound of sugar, mate? That's about half a kilo in Johnny Foreigner. 1kg of sugar used to cost you about £1.60, so in pounds that's.... Twice the price for 0.46 pounds which makes 1 pound cost... Let's round up to £7, yeah? And since a pound is half a kilo let's double the pounds to £14. That'll be £36 plus the social care tax. So that's £287, mate."
Since when was the speed limit measured by kilometres per hour? Insanity.The going back to Imperial measures reeks of insanity. What's next? Obligatory bowler hats in state schools?
There's no problem with you or other people using them now, but we should be teaching schoolkids the system that will likely be used worldwide not some defunct measure. I think it's 3 countries worldwide who still officially use non-metric measures (one of which is the US)?I still use imperial measurements, not sure what is wrong with that.
Will you be happy with a half litre in the pub for the same price?There's no problem with you or other people using them now, but we should be teaching schoolkids the system that will likely be used worldwide not some defunct measure.

You can just buy another half-litreWill you be happy with a half litre in the pub for the same price?
Myanmar and Liberia. The US system is not the same as the UK one.There's no problem with you or other people using them now, but we should be teaching schoolkids the system that will likely be used worldwide not some defunct measure.

Just imagining Bruce or Tarquin proudly looking at the crown stamp and saying "Aaaaaaaahhhhhh! Now that's a proper British pint!" as they take a sip of their Stella Artois or Carlsberg*These people are beyond parody.
They’re getting excited about the crown stamp going back on a pint glass too.
Genuinely just utterly utterly stupid.
Why would you have half a litre for the same price?Will you be happy with a half litre in the pub for the same price?
Thats what happens, it always does. I remember the disaster when the euro came in and the only thing that changed was the symbol of the money on the price tagWhy would you have half a litre for the same price?
You are making no sense, why would the volume of the same container change based on the unit that you use? Current pints in the UK are an Imperial Pint or 568.26mL, the volume is constant. Unless british pubs decide to use french pints, your pint will have the same volume regardless of the unit that you use.Thats what happens, it always does. I remember the disaster when the euro came in and the only thing that changed was the symbol of the money on the price tag
I wish that was the problem.Problem is it is quite evident not one single member of the government has the first clue about trade.
Correct, I should have said one of the many multitudes of problems.....I wish that was the problem.
I think you miss the point, if they start using half litre glasses to be all 'European' i doubt they would change the price. Not too hard to undestand is it? Or should i explain it in Esperanto?You are making no sense, why would the volume of the same container change based on the unit that you use?

Of course I missed the point, that's why I said that what you wrote made no sense in the context of a change of standard unit. Now your point is interesting because I wonder who is "they" and why they would use half liter glasses, there is a bunch of different volumes called a pint, some are larger than the Imperial pint and others are smaller and since you used 500ml as an example while it's called a pinte in french, the equivalent of an Imperial pint is a chopine.I think you miss the point, if they start using half litre glasses to be all 'European' i doubt they would change the price. Not too hard to undestand is it? Or should i explain it in Esperanto?
Why would the UK have suddenly started doing that to be all 'European' (an illogical phrase anyway as the UK is, has always been and will always be 'European' ) when they'd been part of the EU for decades at that point?I think you miss the point, if they start using half litre glasses to be all 'European' i doubt they would change the price. Not too hard to undestand is it? Or should i explain it in Esperanto?
Probably on their very expensive deathbeds and then leave it to the next generation to clean up'Oven ready' deal apparently...
Britain’s hopes of early post-Brexit trade deal with US appear dashed

How long are they going to persist with this infantile nonsense before they realise the country is totally fecked?
Not be longGoing well so far isn't it. You'd think they're talking about a third world country on the news at the moment.
Politics in a nut shell!Probably on their very expensive deathbeds and then leave it to the next generation to clean up
Great line from that article.Remember the heady days of 2016

The world was their oyster. Five years and three months later not a single deal signed that wasn't EU negotiated and copied.
And the only one that might be signed in the near future is one they'd be better off without.
Would they listen, no they wouldn't.
That is despite a short term economic shock from leaving the European Union.
Moggy said it would last 50 years.Great line from that article.
