“Leader of AG..sent (memo) to Sec of State.. (on) what he called 5 challenges..I’m concerned w/ only 1..which reads: “I challenge you to deny WesternRegion ve right of self determination & free to decide whether or not they remain in proposed 🇳🇬Federation
The reply..conveyed to leader of AG thro’ Acting Chief Sec of🇳🇬 by direction of Sec of State read as: “The Sec of State has directed you sh’d be informed any attempt to secure alteration of that decision"-“that’s decision concerning status of Lagos-“by force ll be resisted &.."

A thread about drug smuggling, the British Empire, and the ways in which historical wrongdoing by the Establishment persists into the present day. 🧐🧵🌳🍃🍂⛓ #EstablishmentPsychopathy #history #ToriesOut #OpiumWar #ColonialViolence
It’s generally well known that the Opium Wars of the mid nineteenth century were launched by Britain against China in order to benefit British drug smugglers… 🤨🇬🇧🇨🇳 #OpiumWars #BritishEmpire #ColonialViolence #China
After all, even the National Army Museum – not typically regarded as a bastion of anti-Establishment lefties – states this frankly in its displays on the Opium Wars. #BritishEmpire #ColonialViolence #China

I honestly thought John Redwood was deliberately lying about tariffs all the time to further his agenda.

But it's become clear he doesn't understand how they work at all. This is the contribution he made *in Parliament* on 12 October 2016.

In case you're confused: tariffs are paid by IMPORTERS not exporters.

So if we're talking about food coming from the EU, the tariffs would be paid by Tesco, Asda, Sainsburys etc.

But of course they will turn right around and get that extra cost back from the British public.
Could such ignorance be excused in 2016?

Not really, no. Not if you're a prominent MP always ready to give your opinion to the waiting media. But let's be incredibly charitable, and say "maybe".

Can such ignorance still be excused in 2020? Not on your life!

"... The government that failed at so basic a state responsibility as safeguarding public health is eager to take on new challenges."
