Busy day, catching up with news. It's all "Did Tusk mean these or those people?" - heaven help us (or not). The text is "I've been wondering what that special place in hell looks like, for those who promoted Brexit, without even a sketch of a plan how to carry it out safely" ...
... it seems a bizarre waste of time for news cycles to get caught up with interpretation of Tusk's rather unhelpful comment.
Fortunately, there's @bbclaurak for a sensible response - "Donald Tusk's planned outburst" - bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

X : Do you think Amazon will need to be regulated because of its size?
Me : No. Regulation should be used to prevent market failure and not protect the incompetent.
X : Are you saying Amazon is incompetent?
Me : No. Their competitors are.
X : How?
Me : Gosh. First a couple of things to know. Cloud was highly anticipatable before Amazon launched EC2 in 2006, many of us were building in this space beforehand. Yes, companies have inertia but this was a known change.
X : And?
Me : Amazon was at the bottom of the hill in 2006, up against huge competitors who had all the resources, contacts, finances and well ... everything. Amazon outplayed them all. Now Amazon is at the top of the hill with all the resources, contacts, finances etc.
X : So?

White men leaders claiming it's "a pipeline problem" rather than things they control i.e. existing bias, sponsorship, promotion and advancement. Who would have thought that? Oh wait, everyone with more than 2 brain cells who has spent seconds looking into it. This is spot on ->
For me, "it's a pipeline problem" is up there with climate deniers and creationists. A "special" type of person but not in a good way. I find it difficult to take such people seriously on any matter, it becomes a real struggle for me. These concepts are shibboleths in my view.
... they are all connected though. they are concepts which hold fast to an absolute belief or particular perspective despite either evidence against it or no supporting evidence for. I do find it becomes difficult for me to engage with or trust people who hold such ideas.

X : When do you think colonies on Mars will happen?
Me : Bizarre question. I'm the wrong person to ask. I'm sick to death of all this "Earth is running out of resources" to "Climate impact" excuses for a "colony on Mars". We should fix the mess we've created or die here ...
... I believe in a moratorium on humans in space, backed by military force (i.e. manned craft to be shot down) until such time as the Earth has been stabilised for all. I know certain wealthy folk who think they'll escape to the stars. I'm all for disappointing them.
What people forget is we currently live on an amazing spaceship with advanced recycling, atmosphere generation and gravity that is way beyond our technical capabilities. We want to travel to somewhere with little of those capabilities because we've fracked this spaceship?

Tory MP and nasty hate filled senile old c^nt #ChrisChope is the very essence of why politics is fatally broken. These worthless turds lie with impunity. The vile shitweasel blocked a bill yesterday aimed at making the mutilation of girls by crazed psychopaths easier to stop.
He claims he did so not because of policy objection, but because he objects to the procedural use of Private Members bills. And YET - here is one example of MANY such bills that he himself had promoted, proving the #ChopeTheLiar is up there with the most craven of Tory liars
There is no surprise that the worst liars in Westminster are Brexiters, mainly Tory, but also with a Special place in hell reserved for the Betrayer Corbyn. Brexit is a fraud, a huge lie, and it is being maintainted only by the lies of black hearted child abusing c^nts

John Bercow calling Peter Bone a delicate flower is a thing of joy, and Joanna Cherry ensuring Donald Tusk's words are registered in Hansard tops it all off beautifully

Solid British humour ftw, even in the face of the Unbearable Shiteness of Brexit

#MakeItStop #JustMakeItStop
Very pleased that Donald Tusk's heartfelt reaction to the Unbearable Shiteness of Brexit is now recorded in Hansard for posterity 🤣

Well done to all of those continuing to speak plain truths

I know everyone's gone straight to fighty biting about @eucopresident's fervent hope that those *responsible* for Brexitshambles will be rewarded with suitable punishment (#NotAllLeaveVoters)

but think it's important to read the full extent of his remarks

Worth listening to the whole context of Tusk’s comments

“ The EU is primarily a peace project....this is why we insist on the backstop, a visible guarantee for peace in NI

A sense of responsibility tells us to prepare for a possible fiasco...

THEN he says. (Having said out that preserving Peace is the aim)

“I have been wondering what the special place in Hell looks like for those who promoted Brexit without even a sketch of a plan as to how to carry it out safely”

I.E. With no deliverable plan for preserving peace
Microphone picks up @campaignforleo warning @eucopresident: "they'll give you terrible trouble". Tusk nods and laughs (“Yes. I know”.)

Peter Bone misrepresents Donald Tusk's remark in #PMQs by selectively leaving most of it out.

What D.T. ACTUALLY said: "I've been wondering what that special place in hell looks like, for those who promoted #Brexit, without even a sketch of a plan how to carry it out safely."
Joanna Cherry, the SNP MP just called him on it.
