2/ Dear Austria,
I got sunburnt sitting on the bank of the Danube River sketching the Slovak boats entering the city.
I met a friendly fellow Artist at the Karlskirche where we watched a gymnast in the fountain - we follow each other on Insta now ๐ฆ๐น๐๐ช๐บ

Today we joined other groups from Berkshire & the rest of Britain (as well as some from further afield) for the #FinalSayForAll march.
It was brilliant - the weather was good, the atmosphere was amazing, the speeches at the end were memorable.

โWhat Areas of Policy are better coordinated at EU level rather than National Level?โ
Julie Ward of @uklabour views areas of refugee policy and sharing responsibility for them and also online safety and security, holding the platforms to account as crucial work for the EU.

I โค๏ธ that EU membership:

- demands higher standards protecting consumer rights
- has improved environmental protections
- protects my rights as a worker
- improves animal welfare

My thread on how to beat Leavers (sorry!)
1/ I was a Leave voter. I have become a #Remainernow, but there is one key piece of the Brexiteer psyche I donโt feel is being engaged with by any of the Remain parties. You see, every Brexiteer is a hero.

2/ Itโs a wonderful feeling โ a sincere belief that you are doing the right thing, and all obstacles and sacrifices are actually proof that you are on the right track. The reaction to โProject Fearโ is a case in point; clearly Remainers were cowards.
3/ In fact, it doesnโt matter if every prediction comes true to them โ it just highlights the length they are willing to go to succeed in their quest; how heroic they are. The more sacrifice, the more it must be worth it in the end. It gives a sense of empowerment that emboldens.

2/ there appears to be massive @UKIP and @LeaveMnsLeave #WTO rules protest and march occurring.
Not enough Remainers on the ground to counter & the atmosphere is very toxic.
I was immediately called every name under the sun and told I am a disgrace. ๐

3/ I had to take a photo of this dude.... I'll give it to him - his costume is great! ๐๐คฃ๐ #LeaveMeansLeave
1/ oops accidentally bumped into the #Yellowvest #EDL protest in #Westminster ๐คจ it seems they recognise me ... Already been called a liar... Got my #24ReasonstoRemain facts
2/ There's some really fabulous arguments... And said with such conviction! These guys are pro! ๐ #StopBrexit #YellowVestsUK
3/ I've been called a lot of names. Had a horn blasted right in my ear. ๐๐๐ฏ A lot of complaints about the #BollockstoBrexitBus ... My response "If Michael Gove & John Bercow can use Bollocks (in parliament) - so can we! It's a fine Anglo Saxon word that means "nonsense"! ๐
Arrived at #Wetherspoons in MCR. Tim Martin arrives 10 mins late & tells us "he is going to give us a talk". I thought this was supposed to be a #Brexit debate? ๐ค "Metropolitan elites are pushing for a deal we don't need & if we crash out on #NoDeal we will avoid paying ยฃ39bn"
I just had to point out to Tim that it is our own government who hasn't been implementing EU laws on controlling migration and hasn't properly documented #EUcitizens living in the UK, as they do in other EU countries.
He just admitted he needs to go back and "check his books." ๐
He just admitted he needs to go back and "check his books." ๐
This woman quite rightly pointing out that if we don't pay the ยฃ39bn financial obligation... then who else is going to pay @Nigel_Farage's pension? ๐ค Tim says his research hasn't led him to any answers.
1/ So despite the check-in staff at MCR airport being very entertained by the #BollockstoBrexit stickers on my passport, my case got pulled out at security and I was ordered to remove them because they are "offensive"๐ค (Personally I think #Brexitbis more offensive than bollocks)
2/ I objected pointing out that "bollocks" had been determined not to be offensive in a court of law. The member of staff didn't believe, so I told her to look up the Sex Pistols album "never mind the Bollocks". She told me she "wasn't a sex pistols fan"๐ completely irrelevant.
3/ I told her there was no legal requirement to remove the stickers and she was impeding on my freedom of speech. She threatened to call airport police to deal with the situation & accused me of wasting security staff time. I told her she was the one making unnecessary demands.
