178,610 Brexit Job Losses 🇬🇧 @MrHickmott

Some ideas for future referendums:

> A pay rise for everyone

> Bring back hanging

> Free beer for Brits

> Chips in real newspaper

> Scrap income tax

> Elect doctors and teachers

Can anyone spot the problem with referendums?
Let's have a referendum to have more old music in the charts. Everyone knows that old music is better, so kids should be grateful in time.
Or, to take a darker turn, a referendum to confiscate the property of some unpopular minority group and use it to reduce the taxes on the rest of us?

Wouldn't that be democratic?

You see, there are good reasons why referendums are not a central feature of our constitution.

Have you noticed all those "I'm so excited about stopping free movement and helping the rich that I've joined the Tories!" tweets?

Or all those "I'm so inspired by the prospect of a jobs-first me-too Brexit that I've joined the Labour Party!" tweets?

On the other hand...
How many tweets like this are you seeing every day?
In my view it's not the messenger, it's the message - a message of hope in a voice of clear reason. No one wakes up in the morning and says "you know, I think I'll become a Lib Dem". But when everyone else is doubling down on bullshit, it could be the way to go.

It's not just Rolls Royce... Here's what we can conclude (short #thread):

theguardian.com/business/2018/…
1. Although no manufacturing jobs are being moved, the EU's aviation body will take the place of the CAA. Clearly this is a work transfer.

2. UK aviation companies are showing they lack confidence in the UK government to provide safeguards.

...
3. There is turbulence ahead as aerospace manufacturers weigh where to invest. They operate closely integrated supply chains, so expect them to move as one body.

4. Much depends what Rolls, Bombardier and Airbus do. They will take tens of thousands of jobs with them if they go.

This is for all you educated people that think uneducated people are dumb. Let's see how this works out for you and your family if this country keeps pushing for socialism.

CRITICAL LIFE LESSON .
"Do you know how to catch wild pigs?"..
There was a chemistry professor in a
large college that had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab, the professor noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt.
The professor asked the young man what was the matter.
The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist regime. In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and asked

THE TRUMP-HITLER COMPARISON.
Is there any comparison? Between the way the campaigns of Donald #Trump and Adolf #Hitler should have been treated by the #media and the culture? The way the media should act now? The problem of #normalization?
2/
Because I’d written a book called Explaining Hitler several editors had asked me, during the #campaign, to see what could be said on the subject.

Until the morning after the election I had declined them.

(1) Excess tax=death. Excess tax=death, destruction, and theft, and the ONLY reason for excess taxation is to CAUSE our death, to give our land and money to thieves and invaders. Two hours ago I realized it’s an extension of the iron law of beaurocracies: they can no longer
(2) exist in excess without killing their host, so they must get a constituency who fights for their purpose, & that is any enemy, i.e., thieves, murderers, invaders, criminals, etc. Excess taxation CAUSES immorality. Excess taxation CAUSES crime. Excess taxation CAUSES invasion.
(3) I may have been wrong about the source cause of USA destruction: while communism was the champion and architect of USA decline, the decline itself started through the cancer of excess taxation looking for champions to sustain its institutions of theft, destruction, & murder.
