From the description:

"Brexit was driven by fears that Eastern European migrants were “taking jobs” and “overburdening public services.” Yet, just a few short years after the UK’s departure from the European Union, the narrative has drastically changed. Now, business owners are calling for Eastern European workers to return to fill critical labor shortages. So, what went wrong? In this video, we explore the impact of Eastern European migration on the UK economy, the consequences of Brexit, and why the country may have underestimated just how much it needed its migrant workforce. From the failed ‘Pick for Britain’ campaign to labor shortages in agriculture and hospitality, discover how Brexit backfired in ways few expected.

    You mean to tell me that the racist morons who voted for Brexit didn’t realise the jobs they were complaining about “being taken” were infact severely underpaid jobs that they themselvrs wouldn’t take, thus now there’s nobody to take these jobs?

    Colour me shocked…

    Not really accurate and offers nothing new.

    Brexit was about the ultra wealthy oligarchs, many foreign, who launder their billions through London or want to other dismantle protections afforded the UK by EU Law.

    It was essentially a battle between the super rich (the establishment and big business) and the ultra wealthy (oligarchs )

    The establishment never dreamed that the vote would pass, because it was so blindingly obvious it would be an act of tremendous self harm., and so the was little or no campaign to Remain.

    However, The Leave campaign, illegally funded by dark oligarch money, mobilised a great many voters using populist racism and nationalist themes.

    This was mainly achieved somewhat classically, by conflating the number of brown people you see in the street and membership of the EU, when nothing could be further from the truth.

    Among the many egregious and hateful lies they told was that foreign workers would be sent home. They weren’t. All the Romania and Polish that were here before, mending things quickly for a good price, are still here., thankfully.
