  • And now the UK is like "F**k the EU", EU - "Fine don't do it", UK - "We won't" and so far we haven't. Although France is complaining about us like a little toddler! Shut the f**k up France. No-one likes you!! :D

  • 15 country? When was this recorded?

  • @RevanorSzeged 1999.

  • How is that eu thing going eddie?

  • To take a nap in the passenger seat of europe.

    °Snort° "Are we there yet? ... oh, what are we doing in China? ok then"

    °back to sleep°

  • UK is already in the EU. And it's a good thing the UK never joined the broken Euro experiment. They tried to once with the precursor ERM from 1990 to 1992 and quickly found out the hard way how many options you lose.

    Now it is very clear to all you can only be part of the Euro if you are willing to not only lose your own currency but also accept almost complete political union, including others telling you how you can spend your tax money in return for being saved financially by others.

  • @vroom2000 not unless you are a personal friend of the tory parliamentary party. you'll be paying your british euros to the aristocracy for a generation or so. €€€€ do you even have a € button on your keyboard? get with the programme you little lollipop.

  • @phlarrdboi yea and removing the aristocracy has worked wonders for france, leave our country alone, and we'll leave the Fourth Reich alone (EU).

  • @uniden999 I'll be visiting the UK over xmas to help save your economy by buying up the best tkmaxx has to offer. get back to work you little dolies.

  • @vroom2000 not really. you're paying it, with your moron euros€€€

  • @vroom2000 moron

  • Stop saying this is like Hetalia!

    Hetalia is inaccurate bullsh*t that teenage girls can cry over because the characters are oh so gorgeous. Izzard for the win.

  • @MCLambfat hey, they may be taking it a bit far, but that's still outta line and an unfair accusation. the series is pretty thoroughly-researched and the only crying *i've* ever done over that show is from laughing too hard.

    also, on a pedantic note, "oh-so-gorgeous" should be hyphenated, like so.

    but seriously, guys, we do need to tone it down a notch with the character associations...

  • press 5 continuously

  • @TheJakeman789 You're suggesting he perform naked? Okay, well, if that's really your kinda thing...

  • I love the 'ciao'.

    Another running joke :D

  • @WKEthan

    when she decided to go to fucking war and raise Consumption taxes for whatever reason

  • The moment he said EU I thought "OMG! An Eddie izzard-style world meeting!"

  • @WKEthan Thatcher got lucky. Two years after she became PM oil was discovered in the North Sea and was claimed by the UK, result, a fortunate economic windfall. She used the opportunity to full advantage. Until that moment (and the Falklands) she had terrible poll numbers. BBC pundit Andrew Marr even claims that the fact she fails to mention the discovery of oil in early 80's is very telling about the woman herself.

  • Aha that's funny, and I'm living at 800m of european comission ^^

  • これは、女装のようになります

    (I dont even speak japanese. I got this off google translate)

  • hêy_Âñý_guYs_wàÑt_tö_chÂt_wÍth­_me

  • @tanktgal

    Uh.. Yeah! XD I love Hetalia, it makes politics and history so much more fun. (Even though I already enjoyed those two subjects prior to Hetalia. ;3 )

  • @sakuraxisxevil I love it too XD It actually got me interested in History, travel and languages :)

  • Was anyone else thinking of Hetalia while watching this?

  • @tanktgal it reminds me of the world conference in the first ep lol

  • @Sweetlittlemystery haha yeah!

  • @tanktgal Yes. 8D

  • @tanktgal I must say, that comment made my day.

  • @Hmob1994 *trying to think of clever rhyme...failing* Your comment and the rhyming made mine :P

  • @tanktgal ... I've only just noticed that it rhymed... ^^

    Omg, now I feel like everything I type must rhyme! Ahh! @.@

  • @Hmob1994 rhyming is awesome but I'm rubbish at it :P

  • @tanktgal I love you SO much for making that connection.

  • @tanktgal Prussia will sieze your vital regions!

  • @SuperSmashyfication He can gladly have them as long as he lets Spain join in

  • stupid british nationalists commenting ofc

    get over yourselfs..

  • I thought the EU was equalality for each state envolved? If so, answer me these.

    If the EU is a "Union" why is it that British forces are the majority by FAR out in afghanistan, from the "EU"?

    Why do British businesses have to pay the EU VAT rate of 20% when France has 5.5% ?

    Why?

    Why is Great Britain the country that has done most good for Europe, THROUGHOUT history and yet we are the subjects to foreign powers we once fought, In some cases the people we saved.

    Rule Britannia!!

  • The EU has advanced plans to create zones throughout Europe (12 in the UK) all reporting directly to Brussels. For instance the East Midlands will be Zone 7. As in the old Soviet Union a few people will be very wealthy & the rest relatively poor compared to today, the masses will also be very controlled ie internet spying has already started. Already they have started to reduce our armed forces & we share parts of our Navy with the French & ships soon to fly the EU flag. Next an EU Armed Force

  • The EU is a derisive & evil institution. When we voted to join, we were told that it was just a trading block of European nations. As things stand today, the UK is no longer a sovereign state. All EU laws can now over ride English & Scottish law. They have an a President who is not democraticly elected. They have quietly opened up 56 EU Embassies & many more planned. There ultimate goal is not even a United States of Europe, but a United Soviet States of Europe holding total control us all. 

  • hope england would just hurry up and leave the eu so we can all get along with it already.

  • 00:24 - 00:40 is priceless

  • The EU is destroying Great Britain! Look at how much it costs Britain, then look at what else we could do with the money. £45 million is alot of money to be spending daily. That could put alot of police officers on the roads and better teachers in our schools.

    WE ARE ON AN ISLAND FOR A REASON!

  • @LolFishFail The EU are destroying all of Europe!

  • @kyringe Not really, British Tax payers money is spent on building public facilities in Spain and Portugal. The average british household makes a loss of £300 to the EU and are the only country in the Top 5 contributors to be making a loss. Each year the British people get poorer and poorer.

    I would truely love to hear what Winston Churchil would have to say about the EU, Giving our money to people we have fought against over 100s of years. Now, we pay them.

    It's Pathetic.

  • @LolFishFail I Agree!

    Teh EU is a good idea gone bad...wery bad!!!

  • @LolFishFail it was winston churchill who first laid out the plans for the EU and he wanted a united states of europe...just listen to his speech at zurich after the war.

  • @EuropeanBrit I bet he didn't plan on taking orders from belgium. Anyway, the Eu is anti Imperialist. Churchil had imperial values. I bet he didn't plan on the average British family making a £1000 loss per year, technically making the British people poorer and poorer.

  • @LolFishFail fine you win i can't be arsed to argue.

  • @EuropeanBrit no need to argue, what I said was true, just look at the facts about the EU affect on Britain!

  • @LolFishFail i'm pro-eu, you're anti-eu. let's just leave it at that.

  • @EuropeanBrit Give me your reasons, Look at the facts, I'll respect your opinion. Until you realise that Britain is the only country in the 5th highest contributors making a loss, you'll see also that farmers are restricted, and british fisher men are being pushed out of their fishing grounds, by bigger trawlers providing the Netherlands with food. Can you justify the £45 million a day being spent on the EU rather than on public services and healthcare. our relatives didn't fight to be slaves.

  • @LolFishFail Any sane man or woman can see that the EU is a catastrophy for all of Europe

  • @STOPTHEEU stop ramming your opinion down peoples throats and let people decide on their own whether they are for or against the EU.

  • @EuropeanBrit So I'm assuming you don't read the news or watch it on TV. I'm guessing you don't see people constantly being forced into debt or liquidation by consiquences of the EU. I thought the EU was equalality for each state envolved? If so, answer me these.

    If the EU is a "Union" why is it that British forces are the majority by FAR out in afghanistan, from the "EU"?

    Why do British businesses have to pay the EU VAT rate of 20% when France has 5.5% ?

    Why?

  • @LolFishFail can't answer the VAT question but can the afghan one, the european union, as of yet, is not a military union. The rest of europe didn't want to go into the middle east because they thought it was wrong. And wtf, don't have a go at me i didn't, say your opinion was wrong, just that people should be allowed to make up their own minds. twat. gtfo

  • @EuropeanBrit Nice insult at the end their, polishes off your arguement perfectly and doesn't make you look like an imbecile.

  • @EuropeanBrit I am exersisng my rights to freedom of speech and whether you like it or not no one will stop me. Not you, not the pm, the queen or the entire European army which will soon be formed.

    So I suggest that you accept alternative views on this issue and on all other issues. Afterall that is democracy. Or am I wrong on that aswell?

  • This Union of Europe is not the sort of Europe that Churchill imagined. This Europe is a dictatorship of Europe where the peoples do not have the prosperity deserved to them that Churchill claimed. Instead it is the political elite who gorge themselfs on it while all others suffer.

    It is a Europe which mirrors the annexation of Austria where by not one single Austrian had a say. Not one single European has had a say.

    This is NOT Churchills Europa.

  • Hitler's big idea, the EEC...let me introduce a despotic self-selected, corrupt polit-buro to rule over the oblivious and under-informed; and deny them their sovereign rights by gaining their unwitting consent. European Citizenship card, anyone?

  • @GeneralGoodshafting The EU is the Bilderberg groups' idea. The dismantling of the USA, Canada and Mexico is next - they will become the North American Union, then the Asian union - all will come together under the trilateral commission under the auspices of the BG, and then we're all proper fucked. New World Order= we're all slaves.

  • The Tories were and always will be pro EU anti-democracy.

    Eddie was wrong

  • trying to convince my friends to like this.. i don't see how they don't like this..

  • i miss the old Right wing policy on europe shame they didnt take us out of it fucking waste of billions of pounds and raping our country unlike the pro euro left wing appoarch which bows down to anything there eu masters say

  • @charlieiscool1000 as opposed to the labour party bowing down to everything the U.S says.

  • The Bilderberg Group acts as a “secretive global think-tank,” with an original intent to “to link governments and economies in Europe and North America amid the Cold War.”[5] One of the Bilderberg Group’s main goals was unifying Europe into a European Union - Declassified documents (released in 2001) showed that “the US intelligence community ran a campaign in the Fifties and Sixties to build momentum for a united Europe. It funded and directed the European federalist movement . infowars.com

  • David Cameron wants to clean our windows?

  • No ones got a CLUE what they're saying to eachother!

    Priceless.

  • @AxAgent666 It's international sense and spiritual order =D breakfast in hong kong...

  • we're gonna clean your window, all right?...

    haha priceless

  • one of the best stand up comedy gigs of all time..... even if he does dress like a women........

  • @Gellis2009 But you've got to admit he looks fabulous doing it! :D

  • @Kathadrion Well, I wouldnt look that good if i dressed like a women lol I will say that much

  • @Gellis2009 Well, not even I look that good dressed like a woman, and I AM a woman! :P

  • i wanna live in america but im stuck in britain help me

  • @haltykern

    steps:

    1. forget everything you know about the world.

    2. everyone that wears a turbin and speaks arabic/hindi is a terrorist/sand nigger,

    3. scream at everything that you find partially exciting.

    there you go, just as good as living there.

  • @lloydgar01 America's not really like that all the time. Just so you know.

  • @AxAgent666 k...but it is a stereotype we have around au and the uk...and we tested it on every day americans (search on youtube "chasers war on everything americans" and i think even u'll lol).

  • @lloydgar01 Remember these are just stereotypes, people. That's like saying the steps to feel like a Brit are:

    1. Drink lots of tea.

    2. Eat fish and chips.

    3. Act like a noble with a stick up your butt.

  • @15Anime4Ever15 i'll agree w/ that too lol. wanna know au? it's based on bogans:

    1. not racist...but they hate lebs?

    2. drink beer and swear all day.

    3. missing teeth.

  • @lloydgar01 Who is this a stereotype of? And what are lebs???

  • @Rachiejane1 bogans in australia (just think fat guys in singlet tops and always w/ a beer in hand).

    and 'lebs' is short for lebanese :-P

  • @lloydgar01 But why mention Lebanese people? Are there lots in Australia? Sorry, don't know anything about this!

  • @Rachiejane1 lol sorry. yeah there are a lot of lebs here. they're copping a lot of crap atm because they're the most recent immigrants. the people that give them the most crap tend to be bogans.

  • @haltykern Thats interesting. I would rather live in Britain or Holland but I'm stuck in America.

  • @haltykern funny, many americans said the opposite, when they saw Michael Moore's SICKo documentary...

  • I would rather be a state of the US than in the EU.

  • @smoochym - What, you'd rather live in deepest Alabama, or Missouri, or Kansas, than in France, Spain or Italy? Oh yeah, a real depth of culture, beautiful cities and ancient traditions. Yet whilst at the same time as not having tradition, you'll actually be living in a far LESS liberal society, a far more religious society.

    I'd like to live close to one of the great universities in New England, or perhaps NYC. If I were rich I'd like to live in California. Otherwise, EU all the way.

  • I never said I wanted to live in the US, although I probably would. Im just stating the obvious in that we share far more in common with the US than the majority of Europe. They might have beautfiul cities, that isn't in anyway an argument for political union. Whats more, I would strongly disagree with your statements reagrding the US being less liberal, they have referendums all the time which are unheard of in the UK - the different states also have a large degree of flexibility on laws.

  • We're gonna clean ya windows :D

  • The EU sucks so bad. It's a confederation of incompetence and a model of inefficiency.

  • you can tell he's a labour man in this video.

  • @smell0my0nipples didn't he campaign for Labour during the election campaign?

  • @kaelim888

    Yes. SHAME ON YOU EDDIE!

    I don't think comedians and celebrities should get involved in party politics like that. Publicly taking sides and in Eddies case actually appearing in party political broadcasts is kind of abusing their position. Same with Patrick Stewart and Mick Hucknall supporting Labour in '97.

  • @SteamboatWilley yeah...it's almost unfair. Michael Caine for the conservatives as well as another example. Then again all sides usually have their celebrities don't they?

  • @SteamboatWilley Mick Hucknall supports Labour? Well, that should be obvious, after all, he was...

    ...simply Red.

    But Patrick Stewart :(

  • @Lazyguy22 Haha - Mick Hucknall Simply Red - loved this comment...but I am not Labour

  • @SteamboatWilley I think it's unfair of *you* to say that they should be ashamed of standing up for the side they think is right. When you say 'abusing their position' that makes it seem as though they're getting some kind of personal kick-back from supporting the parties, which they aren't: they're following their personal convictions to help people make what they truly feel is the right choice, whichever party they stand for. Now if there's bribing going on, that's different...

  • @SteamboatWilley I would normally agree. But in Eddie's case, hes taking gradual steps getting more and more involved, the culmination of which would be a campaign of his own around 2020.

  • "Broom-broom. Ciao."

  • The top isn't a kimono, with the mandarin collar and cut it's more chinese style.

  • LOL

  • The great thing about EU there are no border check points, so you can just drive and not even notice you're in the other country.

  • So, it's kinda like driving across the U.S....

  • @Hiraghm Not in the slightest mate, considering driving across the U.S. isn't passing through countries,only bloody states!

  • A common misunderstanding, even among Americans.

    A State is a sovereign republic, it is not a subunit of a nation. Hence the name "United STATES".

    It's okay, I don't expect non-Americans to know American history.

    And until you've driven across America, you have no idea of the extent of cultural diversity among the many sovereign States.

  • @Hiraghm

    Are you talking about cultural diversity in between States of the USA?

    Seriously?

    I love the US, but if we want to talk about diversity, I warmly suggest you to drive from, let's say, Stockholm to Rome (via Paris and Madrid)...

  • @esitubo

    Let's talk diversity. Drive from, let's say, Southern California, to Boston, (via Jackson Wyoming, Fargo, ND, Detroit MI, New Orleans LA, Miami, FL)

  • @Hiraghm

    I would LOVE to do that. So far I've driven only from SF to LA to Las Vegas.

    But still, one people (sort of), one history, one language, one currency.

    Here in Europe we have one language, one currency, one cuisine, one electric socket (damn!), one PC keyboard, one national BORDER every 100 miles or so!

    We're old and have our problems, but we definitely beat the US in diversity!

  • @esitubo

    I'm sure a lot of the people here in Oklahoma would love to hear that, especially the Native Tribes such as the Cherokee.

    One language? Not discounting the aforementioned "Native" languages, there are places in the south/southwest where Spanish is the dominant language. Or if you care for a Scandinavian flavor of language, you can visit the town where I grew up, Story City, Iowa.

    Anyone who thinks the U.S. is not diverse, either has his eyes shut, or hasn't been here.

  • @Hiraghm I am an expat Brit living in the US and have to agree with you. The United States are as diverse as the countries and continents of origin of those that have setteld here over the years, Scandinavia, Europe, Asia, Africa, South America etc. Not to mention the diversity of its Native inhabitants.

  • @Hiraghm What you say is a misconception or misworded. What you are saying implies that each state is totally autonomous. That isn't true each state is in fact a subunit of our nation. Our nation is made up of 'semi'-sovereign states.

  • @LostHisMarbles

    No, it is not a misconception. It is how the nation was structured, along the lines of the U.N. or European Union. That debacle of the 1860s, the Secession War, warped the understand of the nature of the union, but its original construct remains.

    Read the 10th Amendment.

  • @Hiraghm The tenth amendment basically says that the states are allowed to control certain things. This only proves my point; even before the 10th amendment lost some of its luster. That's another good point too after the civil war the states basically lost even more of their power. Further proving my point. In short the U.S. government controls the states, the states do make up the nation, they are not each sovereign states.

  • @LostHisMarbles

    Uh.. no it doesn't. It says any power the Constitution does not specifically give to the feds, or specifically keeps from the feds, by default belong to the sovereign States.

    Yes, the Secession War unConstitutionally gave the feds more power. So what? For Example they just passed universal healthcare, which is way beyond the feds power. There are dozens of examples where the feds exceeded their limited powers. Most of them since the 1930s.

    inter armes, silent leges.

  • Or in other words the states are allowed control of certain things. This means that they don't have complete control. The constitution is part of the federal government. The 10th amendment is the fed allowing the states certain power. Even if i did misinterpret the 10th amendment the current government does overshadow state powers. If there is a conflict the federal government wins. This is how it works now. It's irrelevant if that's not the way you feel it should be.

  • @LostHisMarbles I think the constitutional fact you're looking for is the Supremacy Clause in Article 6 of the US Constitution. Federal law will always suprecede state law.

  • except for when you go into scandinavia

  • I heard about a union by US/Canada/Mexico which will be called North American Union ... and will be reasoned because of stabilizing the US Dollar and grant better economy (and work) for american people ... This was part of the Zeitgeist movie, few years ago - as far as I remember

  • @vdgjolly nafta is the closest to a full union

  • @vdgjolly *Implying that three countries would need a union*

  • what kind of jacket does he wear in this show, what is it called??? EDDIE IS AMAZING!

  • I think it's just a Chinese tunic.

  • its like a kimono i think

  • kimono maybey, im not sure

  • 0:32 thats China's take on Human Rights at the moment.

  • Please check out - The Venus Project. Peace!

  • @Emmamoo

    Hahahahahaha.

  • ciao! xDDDD

  • For God's sake brokenjustice and dakslavechaos--stfu nobody wants to read that. There's this thing that youtube has called messaging. Try it, dildos.

    Btw I must say that this outfit does Eddie Izzard justice. I know he's a tranvtite, but the heels with the drss dont look very becoming of him :///

  • lol, it's a nice cut, but the pattern is lame. I like him better in red.

    He does have strange taste in shoes, I will say that much. But yeah, not his best outfit, no. The silky blue sequined thing he wears sometimes is lovely.. (lol, like I'm the Eddie Izzard Outfit connoisseur ;p )

  • Yes red is very much his color.

  • @hawtfrenchtoast I love the red suit he wore in Glorious :D

  • @hawtfrenchtoast I like the coattails and jeans myself :)

  • I love his shoes. And I agree with you on the silky blue thing. Red is totally him, though.

  • For sale: French rifle. Dropped twice, never used.

  • he's the best!

  • chaaaooo.... I love him ! haha

  • Don't you know why Germany is one of the biggest EU proponents? Because they're an export country, and they really enjoy the fact that they can export goods into other countries really cheap.

  • french guns had to be sturdy cause they didn't want them breaking every time they threw them down in surrender, ohhh no he didn't!

  • Fuck all of them. They're all extortion rackets.

  • chao ... ;D i lov t 0:44

  • ciao

  • You know, you're so right; we owe our independence to the country that fell during BOTH world wars. And we did play a big part of WWII; we took down Japan almost entirely ourselves. It's not like they were a pushover country. Now fuck off and stop stereotyping and being just WRONG, asshole.

  • Did you know that the French make the sturdiest guns known to man?

  • Did you know, even if that's true, it certainly didn't help them not fail in both World Wars?

  • I think you took it the wrong way, I meant "They had to be sturdy to survive being thrown on the ground so much"

  • Well done. What a perfect way to start my morning.

  • belgium makes great guns :D

    france has *fairly* good ones

  • I like America but Europe suffered a lot during WWII, whilst America, for the most part, sat back and profited, then nuked Japan. This doesn't give Americans the right to slander the French.

    See, over here, patrioticism led to the Reign of Terror, the Russian Revolution/USSR, the Nazi party, British Imperialism etc. so its not seen as good (except with football) and consequentally, America's patrioticism is worrysome and often offensive, especially the cracks at England, France and Germany.

  • While it is true that Europe suffered much more during WWII than America, Europe also is the cause of WWII. If Europe hadn't imposed such harsh restrictions on Germany after WWI, Hitler wouldn't have had so much ammo to fire up the German people.

    And in response to patriotism... we're a patriotic country in the sense that we love our FREEDOM, and how much liberty we have in this country. We're not going to turn it into something else. And besides, we've had plenty of people try and corrupt

  • True, but that doesn't mean that WWII was valid, or that America's role meant more than Russia's, France's, Britain's etc.

    America is strange in that there are fewer liberties to be had than in Europe, yet it claims to be 'the land of the free'. Slavery was first outlawed in Britain (and didn't result in civil war), gay rights are generally better in (especially western) Europe and healthcare doesn't favour the rich, etc. It's still full of great people, but it's patriotism is misleading.

  • I know, and I very much value how it was an international effort. It wasn't the actions of one particular country that won the war.

    I can't really compare the two, seeing as I've never been to Europe. I'm only 17, but from what I've seen in my life living in America, we are a country that is still discovering new freedoms. While yes, there are still many drawbacks, I think that, in the end, it will be freest country in the world. We are continuously improving, righting wrongs, and providing

  • more freedoms. I look at today's youth, and I have high hopes for the future. I'm certain that withing 30 years gays will be accepted throughout most of America. There are very few oppressed peoples, and those that are are usually fought for. It will take some time still, and I won't see the finished product in my life time, but it will happen.

    Oh, and I don't mean to slander the French; I just make fun of them. I make fun of everyone though, so it's nothing personal to them.

  • the freedom and liberty of America, but none have succeeded. I don't think you have to worry, honestly. And if something did happen, there are many, many people who would fight it, first peacefully, then violently if need be.

  • All your examples of patrotism are from 60 years ago lol. A lot has changed since then. It is like arguing that all empires are good because the Romans modernised many uncivilised countries.

    60 Years is a long time, and examples from back then are far less relevent now.

  • I come from a country with thousands of years of history, so sixty years is not that long. In addition, I know people alive who are older than that, I'm sure you do to.

    Also, British Imperialism isn't as gone as many would like. The British National Party (BNP) is our white supremacist party, Britain for the British and all that. It's vile and racist.

    I'm not against all patrioticism so much as rampant patrioticism. Teaching children to swear allegiance to America at six? That's not good...

  • 60 years is a stupidly long time.

    In the last 60 years the majority of European empires almost disappeared. 3 Totalitarian states have collapsed. We have 3 International organisations which aim to seek peace + other aims. (NATO, UN, EU). The world has changed so much your poor examples are almost meaningless.

    Also to claim British Imperialism exists trhough the BNP. Is the same as stating Nazi Germany still exists through other minority parties around the world.

  • A lot can happen in a day, that doesn't mean that it's a long time.

    Yes, we have some nice organisations for peace now, but the world's still as destructive as ever. War happens, just as it always has.

    Little American kids still cry out that America is the best country on Earth before they know how to point to France, or *Russia* on a map, let alone know about politics, civil rights or qualit of life abroad. That's dangerous and xenophobic.

  • So your argument is rampent Patriotism is destructive? In what sense?

    If you look at many wars, it is the people at the top who wage them. Not so much the lower classes or masses. Although these people do have an influence on it.

    I do not understand how patriotism is dangerous. Please explain with examples. Thx :)
