1/3 So with UKIP's current leader saying the EU is a Nazi project, here's a reminder that Farage did a deal with a Holocaust denier to get more money for UKIP: theguardian.com/politics/2014/…
2/3 Here's Farage just last year, ranting about "Jewish lobbies": independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
3/3 And here's an allegation that Farage sang "gas them all" as a schoolboy: independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
Batten is not fit to lick the boots of the late Simone Veil: Holocaust survivor and the first President of the elected European Parliament.

1/ Three things to unpack here:
a) academic freedom
b) conduct towards students
c) journalists behaviour
2/ Academic freedom must include the freedom to say unpopular or unfashionable things. Equally it includes my freedom to express my view that "homosexuality is bestiality" is a view which only a tedious reactionary buffoon could hold.
3/ Universities are environments where students should be exposed to different points of view, even if they strongly disagree with those views. The point is to develop skills of assessing arguments and evidence.

CJEU, data protection law
Two new AG opinions on Google today. First one assesses Google's obligations re "sensitive" data and the balance between right to privacy and freedom of expression
CJEU, data protection law
Second AG opinion on Google today
"Right to be forgotten" means geo-blocking search requests made within EU, but doesn't extend to requests made from outside the EU
CJEU, data protection law
AG opinions in today's Google cases now online in French:
1 curia.europa.eu/juris/fiche.js…
2 curia.europa.eu/juris/fiche.js…
3 Also an AG opinion on copyright and freedom of expression: curia.europa.eu/juris/fiche.js…

1/ Some additional points to add to David's fact check of the latest no deal Brexit claims
2/ The "no deal is more legally certain" claim is false. I debunked this nonsense in a previous thread
3/ As for rolling over existing FTAs: even if they are all in place on time with identical terms, the UK trading position will be worse because the rules of origin will change, ie goods partly produced in the UK may no longer count as EU goods

[Thread] Based on recent discussions with @SamuelSokol, @TarikCyrilAmar, and @AuschwitzMuseum over the continued debates regarding the "naming" of concentration camps in Poland, I've decided it's time for a thread, b/c this is not about history but the present in Poland.
What has many Poles (and state-run museums) up in arms, is ANY connection of the word "Poland" with Holocaust sites (and more broadly behavior- hence the "correction" above.) They particularly rail against the term "Polish" death or concentration camps. edition.cnn.com/2018/02/01/eur…
The argument is that Poles did not establish or run these camps...which is absolutely correct. But the problem is, no one really thinks Poles built Auschwitz, etc. Sure, there are ignorant people out there or some students, but I defy you to find a scholar making this argument.

1.@Arron_banks spent Banks spent £8m+ on Brexit. which is indeed very strange since he had real financial difficulties in 2014.
@Arron_Banks, you meeting #Russians in 2015 was really lucrative?

2.@Arron_banks also holds a lot of cash in #Lesotho Holdings, and used that cash to pay local politicians he advised
