I am told that lawyers are looking at bringing a private prosecution against the Met for its failure to do its duty and uphold the rule of law
@JolyonMaugham on the case
It should not matter whether you voted leave or remain. The police and security services should administer the law without fear or favour. As it is, they are being frightened into favouritism

Great thread but the right also believes in the heroic myth of Thatcher. If "wets" and "experts" question Brexit, they questioned monetarism too, and Maggie was vindicated. If Brexit causes suffering, so did Thatcher, but history "proved" her right,
Needless to add monetarism was a huge mistake and parts of Britain have not got over the crisis of 70s and 80s. My point is the right still tells itself a stirring story of a determined leader ignoring the cowards around her and triumphing against the odds.
So British history repeats itself. The first time as tragedy. And the second time as tragedy too.

I keep pointing out (to no effect whatsoever) that Vote Leave absolutely refused to define Brexit because it calcualted it would be easier to win if it didn't spell out the detail
The first reason was shabby opportunism. It's easier to win a referendum if you attack rather than defend. If Vote Leave put forward an exit plan it would offer " undefendable target and open an unwinnable debate" said its head Dominic Cummings dominiccummings.com/2015/06/23/on-…
There was also the small matter that, as you may have noticed, Brexiters couldn't agree among themselves. "Creating an exit plan which all reasonable people could unite around seems an almost insuperable task. Eurosceptic groups have been divided for years."

My embarrassingly talented sister @EveFalling_ is using our family history to drive her art. I see she's about to move into the Cohens' Soviet era

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

Thread: A Message for Former POW Orson Swindle about the Caravan (aka Invasion)

1. I suspect many will agree with the message conveyed by this patriot! I certainly do.
2. <quote> Mass of men, women & children marching 71 miles per day towards the USA! And where do they defecate?
3. President Trump is our Commander in Chief. His most solemn duty is to protect our citizens and our Country. Like the President, Members of our Congress have taken an oath to protect our nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic, ….

(Thread) What the heck is Giuliani doing in Armenia headlining a pro-Putin conference?

The conference is to promote the Eurasian Economic Union—which makes the answer obvious.

He’s moving the US closer to Russia—which has been Trump's aim all along. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-law…
1/ Russia created the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) because they couldn't join the European Union (EU)

The EU requires that members uphold the principles of equality and rule of law. Nations that violate human rights are unwelcome.

(Facts from Timothy Snyder)
2/ In the EEU, members don't have to uphold equality, rule of law, or democracy.

It wasn’t enough for Putin just to form his own club. He knew his EEU wouldn't be able to compete with Europe or the US . .

Kavanaugh hearings start soon. As I said last night I'll tweet as I can.

A reminder. This is not a criminal trial no matter what the right says.
The committee room is coming to order. Grassley likes to start things on time so I expect we'll be gaveled to order real quick here
Grassley gavels the proceedings to order. Begins with a lecture on civility and apologies to both Ford and Kavanaugh for how they have been treated.

Says he wants the proceedings to be safe and comfortable for both witnesses
