1/ This week I took a phone call where someone asked me, in earnest, "I'm interested to know what do you do when you're not on the streets protesting?"

Given that I have spent nearly every waking moment of every day for the last 2 and a half years thinking about #StopBrexit...
2/ and campaigning to promote the EU - I thought it might be worth writing a list of everything that "being an activist" involves. (Not because I feel like I need to justify myself to critics but because it might be interesting for people to know the work #EUsupergirl does)...
3/ I have also spent a huge amount of time travelling (and sorting all the expense forms) to get to events and protests across the UK & EU. And these are the places i've been to campaigning to #StopBrexit or to promote the #EU. (Sorry anywhere I have forgotten -it's a long list!)
4/ So I really do appreciate everyone who acknowledges how hard I have been working to #stopBrexit & promote a positive campaign about the EU, and has supported my crowdfunder because they believe in my message and want me to continue with my work.gofundme.com/fund-madeleina…
5/ And i'm sorry if I don't always reply to messages/emails and if I haven't always done everything people have asked me... I try my hardest - but the truth is i'm not really a superhero! 😉
Also sorry to my friends who I have been too busy to see! I hope they can forgive me xXx

1/ war paint on & we're ready to #EURockNRoll 🇪🇺🇬🇧👊

Protesting outside Parliament today over the #MeaninglessVote

Your deal is dead @theresa_may! Plan B is Plan A - and it's not good enough for #Britain!

It's time for the people to demand a #FinalSay on this mess
#StopBrexit
2/ there appears to be massive @UKIP and @LeaveMnsLeave #WTO rules protest and march occurring.

Not enough Remainers on the ground to counter & the atmosphere is very toxic.

I was immediately called every name under the sun and told I am a disgrace. 🙄
3/ I had to take a photo of this dude.... I'll give it to him - his costume is great! 😂🤣😂 #LeaveMeansLeave

1/Confronting Tim Martin in #Wetherspoons:
The clip cuts out, but I pointed out that UK economy has dropped to bottom of G7 & experienced 2.1% impact to GDP as a result of fall in Sterling.
Tim told me that I was wrong - he has his own "#AlternativeFacts" 🙄
#StopBrexit
2/ This is after I showed Tim Martin my #24ReasonstoRemain booklet & asked him "If 95% of this legislation has been passed by our democratically elected UK MEPs - how can you tell people we have lost Sovereignty when it also says in the #Brexit white paper that we never did?"
3/ @Nigel_Farage did exactly the same thing when I confronted him with the same argument about #EU democracy in a pub in Place Lux. He squealed "Elected MEPs have no power - they're just an upper chamber" and ran away. 🙄

1/ oops accidentally bumped into the #Yellowvest #EDL protest in #Westminster 🤨 it seems they recognise me ... Already been called a liar... Got my #24ReasonstoRemain facts
2/ There's some really fabulous arguments... And said with such conviction! These guys are pro! 😂 #StopBrexit #YellowVestsUK
3/ I've been called a lot of names. Had a horn blasted right in my ear. 🙄👂📯 A lot of complaints about the #BollockstoBrexitBus ... My response "If Michael Gove & John Bercow can use Bollocks (in parliament) - so can we! It's a fine Anglo Saxon word that means "nonsense"! 😁

Ive been covering the protesting in France for 10 wks now-Macrons gov. is stepping on the people & selling out France to the EU-Police brutality is rampant but the movement is growing as the media lies & says its dying-this will be my thread for tomorrow. Follow me #GiletsJaunes
Instead of exploiting the Middle East why doesnt Macron answer the thousands of French citizens who are protesting wealth inequality, police brutality & the EU all across France? Tomorrow will be the 10th week France protest as Macron hides #GiletsJaunes

The police brutality against unarmed, peaceful protesters in France by Macrons government is an example of why The People need to be able to protect themselves from their government #GiletsJaunes

1/ Things are different at this year's U.N.'s climate talks, and it's because of (A) something that very nearly didn’t happen three years ago, and (B) science.

A thread.
#COP24 #COP24Katowice
2/ Ever since the 1970s, scientists and diplomats have focused on trying to keep the planet’s average temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees C (that’s 3.6 F, for us Americans.) Here's a great @nytimes story on this history if you're interested. nytimes.com/2014/12/16/sci…
3/ But over the years it started to look like even 2 degrees might screw places that are especially exposed to a changing climate, places like the Marshall Islands (here's a plug for @michellemizner's and my @frontlinepbs interactive doc about that). apps.frontline.org/the-last-gener…

Here we are in court 26 of the Rolls Building, for Day 4 of the #postofficetrial. The fourth Lead Claimant Naushad Abdulla will begin being cross examined in Bates v Post Office a couple of minutes time. This is the first tweet of a long thread. Enjoy.
For more info on this trial, please go to postofficetrial.com.
#postofficetrial
NA became Subpostmaster (SPMR) in the Charlton (?) branch from 2006 to 2009. Worked there for just over 2 years.
David Cavender QC is cross-examining for the PO. I will call him QC for the purposes and Naushad is going to be NA.

You know what happens when you buy in to the "it's a privilege to work here" mentality? You get screwed. I bought in to that lie once, sold by a con artist and thief, and I think it's time I tell that story as much as I can. Buckle up, this one's a ride.
This story begins back in late 2001. I was a naive kid with aspirations to be a professional illustrator. I did a lot of canvassing for jobs in the games industry to little results, until I caught the attention of a startup Malaysian game company working on a "next gen" MMO.
They brought me on as a concept artist working under some phenomenal creatives. I worked remotely (yes, in 2001) with an international team from across the world. We didn't start the project in earnest until early 2002.

1) Monica & the FBI: Vivid Memories of a "Narcissistic Looney Toon"

"I found her willingness to say, ‘I don’t remember that but I remember this,’ to be very convincing.” Hillary Clinton, asked if Dr. Christine Blasey Ford allegations against Judge Kavanaugh should be believed.
2) " ... "in the space of three hours, Hillary claimed, by our count, over 100 times that she ‘did not recall' or ‘did not remember,' This suggested outright mendacity." Judge Ken Starr, Independent Counsel whose investigation led to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton
3) ""To be sure, human memory is notoriously fallible, but Hillary Clinton's strained performance struck us as preposterous. I ... was even considering bringing the matter before the Washington grand jury for possible indictment on perjury.
