3 years ago, I was utterly unable to speak in public. I took betablockers to speak at my own father’s funeral. And on Monday I did this. Love me, loathe me...whatever. But human to human, please try & recognise how urgent I believe this is by the sheer fucking terror in my voice
‘This is not about left or right or Leave or Remain or Trump or not. It’s about whether it’s possible to have a free & fair election ever again.’ Full video here. Please watch. And pls politicians, don’t even think of new election before passing new laws

Finally, @facebook is actually sponsoring #TED2019. And this was deeply uncomfortable & unsettling for them & others. Kudos & great thanks to courage of @TEDTalks & @TEDchris & @CyndiStivers for giving me the space to speak. And to the amazing audience who cheered me on 👏👏👏

The great Cambridge Analytica Rehab Project kicks off with softball interview with former CEO Alexander Nix. Which, um, includes him confessing to bribing St Kitts politician. "Naive," he says. Er, no. It's "criminal". Totally illegal under UK Bribery Act

I'm sorry but this *is* a crime, isn't it, lawyers? UK Bribery Act was groundbreaking piece of legislation. We knew company was behind this - but just bizarre to confess to it while attempting to rehabilitate image. Doesn't this now put pressure on @NCA_LynneOwens to investigate?
This is also a crime under UK law. We published a year ago. @NCA_UK took no action or even got in touch. It's not that I want to see individuals punished. But actively seeking publicity while pretending entire story is a persecutory fantasy is...too much

Wow. Another important story about Farage’s funding from @Turloughc. A traffic analysis of Brexit Party’s website shows just 1,200 visitors on day Farage said it got 16,000 PayPal donations. How?? Probably a simple explanation right, @nigel_farage?

...& then there's this. Vladimir Putin is now a registered supporter & donor to @brexitparty_uk mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
Cheers for the email, Nige. But I’m not actually a registered supporter because I didn’t pay the £25...so I think there’s something wrong with your website.

So Nigel Farage drove along a road the EU paid for to a car park outside Merthyr owned by an Englishman notorious for his ‘anti-Welsh rants’. Here’s the hugely diverse crowd of perhaps 100 people including what looks like 2 women...the unstoppable ‘populist’ in action
Man, this is literally the most boring rally ever. I thoroughly recommend everyone watch the livestream @brexitparty_uk...it's very cheering
It's the march all over again. The @brexiparty_uk has a super slick social media operation but it is really quite remarkable how lacklustre & flat this is....

Venezuela has emerged from the US attacks on its electrical system.
By @MaxBlumenthal
Terrible news for Little @marcorubio @AmbJohnBolton & Guadio’s gang, but great news for the people of Caracas:

The city’s free Metro system is coming back on line as Venezuela recovers from its curiously timed electricity outages.

1. Love is a subject that every one of us has an opinion on. However our emphasis is on the doing part of Love. #Love
2. The first component of Love is in John 3:16 - for God so love the world that He gave his only begotten Son. #Love
3. To love is to recognize value in someone and to demonstrate that recognition of value. #Love

“Those who know the Blue-Eared Glossy Starling Bird should mourn with Indigo Dye;
Those who know the Carmine Bee-Eater should mourn with Camwood;
Those who know the Cow Egret should mourn with White Chalk.”

This is how the death of Bola Ige was announced on some Radio stations.
What I posted is a translation, what was announced was in Yoruba:

“Eni ba mo agbe k’o sun’kun aro;
Eni ba mo aluko k’o sun’kun osun;
Eni ba mo lekeleke k’o sun’kun efun”.

The death of Bola Ige is undoubtedly the last ethnically tragic event that happened to the Yorubas.
Of all the politicians who lived after Awolowo, none was more colourful (perhaps even more than Awo himself) and none was as charismatic as Bola Ige.

Unfortunately for him, he also stirred deep envy from his friends and deep hatred from those who chose to be his enemies.
