1/. “I’m not really bumbling. I’m as hard as nails”

In this interview, #BorisJohnson shows that the “bumbling Boris” character is just that: a character

“My approach to politics & human nature is that you can make a good case for anything” #BorisResigns
2/. “#BorisJohnson put on a buffoon mask to become a celebrity, & now he can’t take it off.”
(J Lanchester)

“He seems to know that if we’re chuckling at him, we’re not likely to be thinking hard about his agenda, or doing anything to counter it.”
(J Coe)
3/. In 2020, I dug up #BorisJohnso’s #TakeItOnTheChin

I also found the smoking gun of the #HerdImmunityScandal - the #GreenwichSpeech

“There’s a risk new diseases such as #coronavirus could trigger a panic that goes beyond what is medically rational”

The NHS = the most trusted brand in the UK

Cambridge Analytica = the least trusted

Gurkhas and the British

Men from the hillsides of Nepal began joining the British Army in 1815,right after the end of the 1st phase of the Anglo-Gurkha War of 1814-16.They have been serving the British Crown ever since.#Gurkha #Gurkhas #Nepal #ENGITA #Eng scmp.com/week-asia/opin…
The Gurkhas played an essential role in establishing the British Raj in India and fought for the British in Afghanistan, what was then Burma, Tibet and in countless other conflicts.

#England #Britain #British #Army #BritishArmy #Eng #ENGITA #Euro2020Final #EuroFinal #EURO2020
In the first world war alone, tiny Nepal,with a population of around 5 million, sent over 200,000 Gurkhas to fight for the British. 1 in 10 never returned. In the second world war over 250,000 Gurkhas fought alongside the British and more than 33,000 never returned.

“Happy birthday, Hugh Janus...er...”
@Nigel_Farage
Here’s the longer version
#NigelFarage > #HughJanus > #HugeAnus (via @benjamincohen)
This isn’t the first time #NigelFarage has been pranked

CALLER: I used to be an ardent remainer until something monumental happened that completely changed my view

FARAGE: What was that monumental thing, Mark?

MARK: I was kicked in the head by a horse!

"LBC, having disposed of services of Nigel Farage, may be looking keenly at outpourings of another of their hosts right now. This time batting on an increasingly sticky track is Maajid Nawaz, who has just weighed in on Farage’s behalf, on a subject he talks about rather a lot."
"Farage had trailed his latest column for Telegraph by proclaiming “The silent majority has begun to stand up against this cultural Marxist revolution”. Silent? But the anti-Semitic dog whistle was soon spotted by Labour MP David Lammy. And he was not at all happy about it."

This is a time for sober, well-informed, transparent leadership & for MPs journalists & experts to challenge govt where they go wrong.

An Inquiry in 2021? What for?

We know what went wrong & why.

We know the govt ignored warnings.

We know this not sheer incompetence/bumbling.

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.
#StopBrexitMarch #PeoplesVoteMarch
Assembling at the start of the march.
A lot of time must have gone into making this pub sign placard.

Across Britain, #NigelFarage is being hailed as a hero of the working class, sticking it to the elite. Let's take a look at the reality:
1. Farage's definition of being "skint" is receiving E100K a year as an MEP + the 6th-highest outside earnings of any member of the parliament
2. And that's before you count the undeclared donations from Arron Banks, exposed by Channel 4 News, that include:
- renting Farage a posh flat in Chelsea
- a fancy car with a driver
- luxury trips to the US
3. Farage's principal funder, Arron Banks, is (or claims to be) a multimillionaire. So is the chair of the Brexit Party, Richard Tice. It goes without saying that all three working-class heroes were privately educated.

Vote for #Farage and get this. This man is Crispin Odey. He bankrolled #VoteLeave and made 220m when leave won by shorting the pound. Farage helped the markets to fluctuate when he 'conceded' the referendum early. You are being used to fill their pockets. #BrexitParty #EUElection
Odey also has links to Rees-Mogg. He helped Jacob set up his hedge fund, and also helped towards his election costs. They are all in this together, they pretend to care about the working-class, but in truth they are exploiting us to make more money. ft.com/content/a42110…
Thank you to everyone that has RT this so far, please keep sharing it, it may help some people change their minds about the #EUElections2019

When #NigelFarage left #UKIP he started to re-invent himself. He's not talking about immigration any more. He's talking about being the saviour of democracy, and leaving UKIP to be the extremists. He's trying to attract a more moderate voter. The polls seem to show this working
I wonder, if he does well if the #EuropeanElections2019 and the #Brexit mess in Parliament continues, it might give some #ERG members the confidence to cross the floor. Will they have confidence that they can re-elected on a #BrexitParty ticket.
That would then likely cause a general election as the government would not be able to pass anything. The #Conservatives would not have time to sort out a new leader so #TheresaMay could end up leading them into it. They could get slaughtered.

[Thread] I research #Islamophobia for a living & I can honestly tell you that the views of the gunman in the #ChristChurch #mosqueattack are not & should not be excused as some "fringe" ideology.
I read the 74-page manifesto & the killer's talking points are the same ones I read & hear on the DAILY from mainstream politicians, anti-Muslim figureheads, & the media.
The gunmen was obsessive about white birth rates and fertility like @SteveKingIA & @geertwilderspvv are.

THREAD: Given that the main UK-based alt-right social media accounts claim to be motivated only by patriotism, I was curious to see what they had to say about the alleged Russian use of nerve agents on UK soil...

Strangely, they completely ignored it....

All their recent tweets were instead clearly designed to make white English people feel angry towards & fearful of brown people living in their midst.
