"Democracy doesn't disappear over night. RW populism doesn't goose-step into power fully formed, it CREEPS!"
7 SIGNS
1. Create a populist nationalist MOVEMENT #Brexit
Target the 'left behind'
Erdogan called it 'the will of the REAL people'😲

2. Ignore rational EXPERTS: infantalize language eg simple slogans & post-truth politics! #LiarJohnson
3. Immorality #ToriesDevoidOfShame eg #ToriesPartiedWhilePeopleDied
4. Dismantle political/judicial mechanisms eg #RuleOfLaw
Install your own people & toy with institutions!🔥

#JohnsonRegime eg Heaton-Harris dictating how academics lecture on #Brexit & Education Sec says students can't criticise PM!
(Erdogan now arrests critics!)
6. Laugh at the Horror! Inhumane cruelty RE refugees, Afghanistan, kids in poverty! #PartyGate!

Lots of "the media" discussion because Ex-Love Island Caroline Flack was hounded mercilessly.🤗
We're clammering for more accountability from #themedia. Wtf Caroline
Yet no one seems to know #rottenjohnny is busy reversing the small gains in accountability that we do have.⏬

Remember phone hacking? We got a tiny win in the aftermath. If the press lied about you, they had to pick up your legal costs
Now #Johnsonregime is reversing that #Brexit bribe
He'll say YOU voted for it. The media didn't tell you? Nice stitch up eh⏬

It's your #Bonkersbrexit weekly roundup of just how much #Brexitnotdone we've had over the past week.
And wow what a week it was. Crazy actually.
I'm beginning to wonder if it's not us they're trying to convince but themselves...

First, we had the endlessly entertaining Barry from Basildon. Who (un)fortunately is a parody
Then like a gift from #Brexit Gods, we got the very real (confirmed by Indy) clueless Colin reinforcing all stereotypes

Then we had Dr Sune's informative ad-lib history of populism, with a detailed description of the Danish Brexit and how they had managed to step back from the breach away from their Siren's call.
Sadly we looked painfully naive in comparison.

#Brexit seems to have entered its cutoffyournosetospiteyourface phase.
Confounded with nothing meaningful about EU legislation that we would want to change, the #JohnsonRegime is now finding unnecessary change to add to its £63B annual cost.
Like #HS2 intentionally.

2/3 You'll recall this is done in cooperation with a press-politics cabal which with no integrity argues #Brexit to be the BEST RUN public project of ALL TIME.
There was more WW2 criticism from our press!
#unfreepress = bad for political accountability

Functional democracy needs
1. Government - execute wishes of
2. Parliament, representing the people
3. Courts applying the law
4. Held accountable by a free press
When you no longer have 4. You get the mess above
