83% of Britain's Leavers feel that "the unravelling of the peace process in Northern Ireland" would be "worth it to take back control"👇👇👇

Another #Brexit #thread
1/ Here's the thing about the Theresa May — Jean-Claude Juncker spat over whether May was vague or not at the #EUCO summit table about her Brexit demands. It’s a sideshow because the undeniable reality is that Westminster-at-large is vague.
2/ Westminister is undeniably vague via there being no majority for any type of Brexit, yet an absolute insistence from the British government and opposition leader that nevertheless a hard-ish take back control Brexit must happen.
3/ That cul-de-sac is Theresa May's fault. Other leaders might have called Jeremy Corbyn, Nicola Strugeon, Carwyn Jones and Arlene Foster round a single table and told them they weren't leaving until a tolerable version of Brexit could be agreed or, per above, tolerated

So Theresa May arrives at EU summit and, like a dream sequence, repeats that "considerable progress" has been made since Salzburg but "problems remain on Northern Ireland backstop".

So what can we say back in the real world? /1
UK Negotiators just spent nine days straight reaching about as far as they can go on #Brexit fudges.

In summary, the EU will NOT give the UK an all-UK customs backstop. But it WILL agree to an all-UK customs arrangement in the future relationship document.

This didn't fly./2
When @MichelBarnier addresses EU leaders tonight, he will have to give an honest assessment of whether more talks can really move this on - in the absence of "new facts" as @eucopresident Donald Tusk put it.

Hard to see how - at which point the ball may be back in May's court /3

THREAD on the Subject of #Brexit & Respect...with a hint of Betrayal.

#Remain #Remainers, #RemainerNow Pls RT or feel free to Use this whenever you are told to Respect the Non-Binding Referendum & by all means add some more.
1. #Brexiters & #Lexiters have 2 justications, apart from 'we won you lost', for the #BrexitShambles.
Namely that we must RESPECT the #Brexit Ref result & that to seek to overturn it would BETRAY the Will of the 'British People'. (nb they often omit the N. Irish)
2. Respect or Lack of Respect & Betrayal at the heart of #Brexit...so...why should we Respect the EURef 2016 & Who or What is being Betrayed?

Brexit is like the appendix telling the other organs its leaving to forge a brighter, better life. "Stop holding me back" it screams as it leaves. No matter what the other organs do or say, the appendix is adamant the deal it can make with some hungry vultures is better. #Brexit
"I don't need any of you, haven't you heard how good life is after removing yourself from a symbiotic, mutually beneficial relationship that you never took notice of but took fully for granted can be?"
"Sitting here twiddling my thumbs, looking at you all, mocking you, what do you offer me! Nothing! I look out of my tiny window and see the brown flow by, trying to come over here, not really effecting me at all ever, being dealt with somewhere else. I'm sick of it!"

Take back Control?

A brief thread about the big lie told to working class voters.

There has always been a strong latent undercurrent of racism in U.K. I grew up in a working class family where the gags of Davidson & Manning about black & Indian stereotypes were accepted.
Other races were regarded in that community as inferior. Sometimes tolerated, IF they behaved like us, even welcomed, but never on an equal footing. You still hear it in pubs and football terraces, it never went away.
For me, it was Tony Blair who finally excised the racist DNA I carried. For years, I exaggerated my “Toryness” - the party I had adopted against all family tradition because it stood for getting ahead. I barked about the EU, with its feeble minded “foreign” thinking.
