"#Brexit According to Google"

A poem inspired by Brian Bilston, constructed entirely from auto-completed searches on Google.

(Thread)
why is brexit good
why is brexit bad
why is brexit such a big deal
why is brexit mad
brexit is depressing me
brexit is making me ill
brexit is really all about China
brexit is not real
is brexit democratic
is brexit conservative or liberal
is brexit a scrabble word
is brexit in the bible
brexit should we leave
brexit should I stockpile food
brexit should be conducted by a multi-party committee
brexit what should we do
after brexit can I move to Spain
after brexit can I stay
after brexit berry farms could be in a jam
after brexit Theresa May
brexit is not inevitable
brexit is not a game
brexit is not shrinking chocolate bars
brexit it’s not too late.

“We must proclaim the mission and design of a united Europe, whose moral conception will win the respect and gratitude of mankind and whose physical strength will be such that none will dare molest her tranquil sway...
I hope to see a Europe where men and women of every country will think of being European as of belonging to their native land, and wherever they go in this wide domain will truly feel, ‘Here I am at home’.”
Winston Churchill at the inaugural Congress of Europe at the Hague in May 1948.

1. What is the EU and why should the UK think twice about leaving are two questions to the same answer. So here goes my first twitter lesson.

Thread.
2. The EU is not a State. Trying to understand the EU by applying nation-state concepts is frustrating because the pieces don’t fit.
3. This leads to it being criticised because we can’t find the state-like notions we understand make a political system legitimate.

The Brexit Tale: a Chronological Thread.

1. Before the referendum there were a bunch of lies about the EU when really the UK is one of the strongest members of this exclusive club that safeguards the common interests of its countries and citizens.
2. At this time, one favoured Brexit plan was to negotiate individual trade deals with other EU countries, though it turned out EU members don’t make individual trade deals precisely because they are stronger as a bloc.
3. Unfortunately it wasn't until after the referendum that a new plan was hastily concocted. How about “Brexit means Brexit”? And so the battle line between hard and soft Brexit was drawn. Which would it be? theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/j…

1) Options available on #Brexit - thread
To try to help out with understanding I'm going to go for the simplest explanation I can of the options in front of the country re A50, Deals available etc based on my understanding

Here goes
2) briefly to begin with, there are 3 #Brexit options & 2 Article 50 options
Brexit options:
- No deal
- May's deal
- Remain

Article 50
- Revoke A50
- Delay A50

3 routes to Remain
- GE with a Labour Remain ticket
- 2nd Ref with a Remain option
- Revoke A50 via vote in HoP
3) Revoke A50
can be revoked by the UK alone, without agreement of the EU & we go back to the *exact* same deal we have now (rebate, no Euro etc)

However it must be a revoke in "good faith", we revoke because we are staying indefinitely, not as a pause whilst we have a rethink

1. @Americanlll @MastersShelby @Dina1trump @DineshDSouza @RealEyeTheSpy @TheRealRaNon @GenFlynn @martingeddes @O_IrishT @prayingmedic @qanon76 @WeAreOne_Q @RandPaul @Semaphore89

The Khashoggi incident will be blown wide open...again. This time, will @POTUS make his move?
2. @LindseyGrahamSC gave a STRONG statement after a secret briefing by the C_A about the #Khashoggi incident. Watch this whole video (7 minutes), not just the portions being given by others. Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) has been put on notice.

3. Graham pulls no punches in addressing MBS and his abusive, chaotic, dangerous, criminal behavior. This is going to resonate widely throughout the Senate and I believe it will be addressed on the Senate floor in the coming days. Some think this issue is not an important one.

#Thread During #KeralaFloods many of the people lost their crucial documents. It was a big mess to recover these documents since they don't even remember the document no. Hence, Kerala IT department came up with an API architecture to retrieve the documents. (1/n)
The idea was generated jointly by IT secretary M.Sivasankar and KSUM CEO Saji Gopinath. The target was to retrieve the documents by taking the basic inpit values known to the public. It startes working last day (2/n)
Incase of Aadhaar, govt will take your biometrics as the input value to generate E-Aadhaar if one doesn't remember the ID number. This will be pushed into Digilocker account created. Also will get a print out for free of cost. (3/n)

1/ Very small thread on why #Brexit is actualy leading to the end of the UK or atleast the UK of the post war period as we understand it & its much, much more than *just* Irish & the Scots. Its as much about the English and its polity......
2/ Firstly tho Irish unification & Scottish independence - the 1st is likely to be accelerated once the inevitable demographic reality tips in (around 2030). Scottish Indy less predictable but in any case #Brexit vote confirmed a break - one that's even riven the Scottish Tories.
3/ What many dont get is that #Brexit will findamentally change "restUK" too. After UKs decline in 70s, EU membership enabled UK to be a big hitter - an atlanticist well armed, UN Sec Council member "big beast" inside a "global player" european trade bloc. This will change....

(thread) Yesterday Crytek filed their rebuttal to the motion to dismiss (MtD) which RSI/CIG filed on Jan 5th, amid much fanfare.

You can read it in all its apocalyptic glory on Pacer or at the link below.

docdroid.net/v7yQ0LL/respon…
We already knew that a response to the MtD was coming; but since many delusional people had taken one look at the PR laden response by CIG and given them a win, most didn't know what to expect from the Crytek response.

I certainly wasn't expecting the beatdown Skadden delivered.
In fact, back (below) when I wrote my opinion on the CIG response, and stated that Ortwin had basically drawn the battle lines with open hostility, I knew that it was going to set the tone going forward. Boy did Skadden deliver.
