mentions We are. Problem is distribution. We just aren't getting traction with those who have platforms.

I was an assoc. prod on a pro-EU documentary. Critics who usually review our director's films said sorry, no can do & some cinemas declined to screen it for fear of Brexiter backlash.
mentions Here's one of my own small efforts:
mentions There's a slower version of 101 Reasons To #Stay on Youtube, for anyone who may be interested:
mentions There's also this made-for-Twitter clip on the #EU's role in #Peace
mentions Firms like HSBC are so powerful, they can set tone, rather than buckle under it. I welcome their intervention. When US firm Ancestry did a series of pro-European ads (not pro-EU), the backlash from the "we voted out" crew was vitriolic. The public is in a different place now.
mentions Full credit must go to .@snb19692 & the .@SODEMAction team for maintaining a visible Remain presence outside Parliament since GE2017. #SODEM protest images have gone global in newspapers, articles & even broadcasts - despite May's Govt doing everything to silence us. Do join in!
mentions I also see a lot of #Brexit poetry. I'd especially like to single out "Refugees" by @brian_bilston
mentions Here's a selection of my favourite #Brexit videos (in no particular order):
1. A Cry From The Irish Border
mentions 2. The Brexit Video (with penguins!)

mentions 3. Brexit - Let's Think Again (by the same team as N° 2 - scroll down the page)

getthetruth.org.uk/?fbclid=IwAR3Z…
mentions 4. Brexit Facts vs Fear (narrated by Stephen Fry)

mentions 5. Brexit: A Titanic Disaster

mentions 6. Andy Serkis's Precious Brexit Parody (blue passportsiss!)

mentions 7. Proud Bear
If you understand Russian (and even if you don't), here's a segment on Russian #BBC (don't think it made the news here!) about .@Pr0ud_Bear's wonderful viral campaign.

mentions 8. TLDR News has lots of great explanatory videos about Brexit and its implications

mentions 9. @Reasons2Remain - which has a fab blog and daily memes - also has a couple of clips

youtube.com/channel/UC1cEQ…
mentions 10. Shout-out to everyone else who creates fun and/or informative content, including .@Femi_Sorry and .@MadeleinaKay

mentions Let's look at A's reasons for voting #Leave:
"Us being able to fix our our problems. I think the #NHS, our teachers are underpaid, and I believe that we put so much money into the EU."
a) We CAN fix our own problems. Public services are 100% managed by own Govt —

/1.
mentions — except the bits Govt privatised! The EU does not interfere with how our Govt runs the NHS or its education policy or the police force, etc.

The competences of the EU are defined by treaty. They tend to be issues that extend beyond national borders.

/2.
mentions Typical areas include trade, environment & security.

Think about it. When was the last time you heard the #NHS complaining to the EU abt underfunding? Or schools complaining the the EU abt kids going hungry? Never. They complain to our Govt cos' OUR GOVT is responsible.

mentions Let's look at the facts:
1. The Ref MPs voted for was advisory
2. Cameron then made it binding in the minds of voters who don't understand the niceties of our constitution, which was shabby & underhand of him, because he created a political imperative to take the Ref advice

/1.
mentions 3. Parliament never formally made the decision to leave, but gave Mrs May the power to trigger #Article50 through the shameful A50 Bill (launched before its rubbish White Paper was released), which converted Parliament into an irrelevant rubber stamp in the #Brexit process.

/2.
mentions 4. Under pressure from the Economic Ruin Group (ERG), Mrs May triggered A50 prematurely, without impact assessments and, crucially, without agreement in her party as to what form #Brexit should take, let alone a plan.

It's excruciatingly embarrassing that our press has pumped out so much bilge about the EU that .@EUlondonrep had to have a page on its website dedicated to "A-Z of Euromyths".

As it's Friday, I've picked out my top-ten stupid stories by the British press on the EU #Thread
In at N°10 in the Brit EU-#FakeNews Hit Parade: The S*n claimed the EU wanted to ban BAGPIPES. I'm sure Her Majesty the Queen would have had something to say about that, of whom more anon...

#BrexitShambles #FBPE #WATON #ABTV #BrexitIdiocy
At N°9 in the Brit EU-#FakeNews Hit Parade: The Daily Telegraph, which is now almost as bad as red-tops for fake news when it comes to the EU, claimed the EU wanted to ban that most famous of British icons, the doubled-decker bus.

So now we have combat ready armored vehicles with the EU flag which are being used against unarmed European protesters who are demonstrating against a pro EU authoritarian regime.

Still think the #EU is a “project for peace”?

#Mscron #GiletsJaunes #YellowVests #Paris #France
The biggest lie that the EU, the mass media, and the people who support it tell everyone, and to themselves, is that the EU is a democratic organization.

The EU isn't a democratic organization, it's actually the excat opposite.

dispropaganda.com/single-post/20…
Meet the president of the #EU, #DonaldTusk, who was never democratically elected into office of course, that's not how they do things in the EU, and who is also one of the most corrupt and despotic politicians in the whole of Europe.

Just ask #Poland.

1. New York magazine did us all a great service Tuesday by publishing a story about 12 young Americans who are probably not going to vote next week. The piece is a riot of sorry excuses for craven irresponsibility, but it’s no less illuminating because of it.
2. The piece suggests that our sociopolitical ills did not start and will not stop with the current president. The article suggests that our problems begin and end with us. nymag.com/intelligencer/…
3. It’s now finally getting traction empirically: those who did not vote in the 2016 election are most responsible for Donald Trump’s rise to power. This is because some 40 percent of eligible voters didn’t vote.

I want to talk a minute about how #Brexit is viewed by most of the #Dutch here in the #Netherlands.

1/
The #Dutch are mostly bewildered by #Brexit and why anyone would want to leave.

We do have a small EU critical faction in parliament (PVV+FvD=32 seats out of 150), but 4/5ths of the electorate are either uncaring or moderately to rabidly pro EU.

home.noties.nl/peil/

2/
Our #economy stands to take quite a hit from Brexit. Up to a few percent, even.

economics.rabobank.com/publications/2… …

This is seen as a betrayal by most #Dutch, who take the
health of our economy very seriously, especially after supporting Britain's liberal ideas in the #EU

In case you're wondering: the #EU just voted to impose filters on all the text, audio, photos, videos, etc you might post. If you think this will help photographers or other creators, you don't understand filters.
First of all: pirates laugh at filters. The most sophisticated image filters in the world - those used for state censorship in China - are trivial to evade citizenlab.ca/2018/08/cant-p… Anyone whose occupation is beating filters will beat filters.
But people who are legit? Including photogs? They're FUCKED. Filters can be intentionally bypassed if you know the trick, but if you're (say) a news photog whose photo of a protest includes a bus-ad with some stock imagery, the filters will not be able to know that you're legit.

The transport union, TSSA:
"The left should unite now and come together to stop this Tory act of war against our class...

Supporting Tory/UKIP Brexit is unacceptable class collaboration.
Full stop.

I like this. This is fighting talk

#StopBrexit !!
TSSA General Secretary, Manuel Cortes:

"Our focus is our people, their rights and those of their families, which includes retaining their ability to move across EU borders freely”.

TSSA was and is in favour of remaining in the EU.
