Really worth watching. A Swiss guy responds to Brexit the Movie.
He's irritated that the film portrays his country as such a great success story outside the EU - when the Swiss buy into the Single Market, its rules, and have a Freedom of Movement arrangement with the EU. In fact, Switzerland had a long recession in the early 1990's when they rejected, by referendum, EEA membership. After years of pain, they took up a freedom of movement arrangement with the EU, joined the Single Market and have done much better since. He's also got perceptive warnings for the UK. We're getting sick of politicians and crafted spin. So much more refreshing to listen to real people with real experiences. Kudos to you, Samuel Knopf.
