This is why Nigel Farage's Brexit Party is going to deepen the divide in British society. #EuropeanElections2019

I respect Brexit voters WAY more than Trump voters.
There's nothing racist about leaving the EU, but due to the racism of its leaders, many non-racist Brexit voters were called racist.

HOWEVER, Trump said racist/sexist/bigoted things, so they voted for a racist sexist bigot.
The Brexit Party has no manifesto. So the top authority on what that party actually is, is the leader, who's a racist (SEE PROOF BELOW OR SHHH!).
So a vote for the Brexit Party is a vote for racism.
Yet non-racists are going to vote for him anyway because it's the "Brexit Party".
So lots of people who aren't racist are about to be called racist for voting for a systemically racist party in order to send a message about something that isn't inherently racist either.
If you thought political conversation in the UK was toxic & difficult before...

Alabama just banned abortion in almost all cases inc. rape & incest.

This s*** is why I can't watch The Handmaid's Tale. When I watch TV I want to escape from society's attempts to return to the glory years of rampant and blatant inequality.
"Roe v Wade"
FYI, this is a video from before Trump was elected. So Trump voters knew exactly what they were signing up for. They can say they did it for jobs etc... But they're responsible for Alabama by legitimising his views.
Brexit is different. There may have been racist politicians and celebrities behind it but there's nothing inherently racist or bigoted about leaving the EU because Brexit isn't inherently tied to the people for behind it.
HOWEVER, voting for a party controlled by Nigel Farage...

I've just screen-recorded the full Farage-#marr interview so I can do some commentary, and I don't know how I'm going to even cut it down. Almost every second was glorious!
Side note. Well done for sticking to things you can prove. No accusations without documented evidence to hand:
No "Who funds you" without evidence of inappropriate funding, no "you're racist" without clear and logical evidence of his racism. Because they make people switch off.
OK, I've just recorded my commentary and I'm starting to edit it together.
Caption suggestions anyone?

Stop Funding Fake News
@SFFakeNews
THREAD: 1/ Fake news website Westmonster, co-founded by Aaron Banks, is now effectively a propaganda channel for Nigel Farage’s #Brexit Party. Organisations advertising on the site are helping to fund this output supporting the party’s campaign #SFFN
2/ Editor & co-founder of Westmonster, Michael Heaver, is standing for the Brexit Party in the European parliamentary elections. In the article announcing his candidacy, there was no mention of Heaver stepping away from the website for the campaign period. #SFFN
3/ We’re not here to comment on the suitability of someone who runs a fake news website to be an elected parliamentarian, but voters might be interested to know about the company Heaver keeps #SFFN

Comrades I write to you from the bright lexit future where I languish in a DeEducation camp 4 My dequitivist revocateur stopbrexoise wrongness & 2 get out of solitary I now pay tribute to the dear leader Jeremy Corbyn and heroes of #Brexit class struggle 4 lexitism in one cuntry
Now @UKLabour is a glorious dictatorship of the Lexetariat in which the cadres of Jezbollah are guided by the infallible mutterings of comrade Kipper but not all realise the struggle 4 lexit through #Brexit was opposed by powerful dequitivist revocateur counterbrexiteer forces
it is often thought the salvation of #Brexit was entirely due to the genius of comrade Kipper corbyn class warrior and Eric morecambe impersonator but we should not forget the heroic cadres of Jezbollasists who inspired by the teachings of comrade corbyn worked 2 save #Brexit

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

#Brexit: Theresa May presenta le alternative dopo che il governo ha dato il suo consenso all'accordo con l'Ue.

1) Il mio accordo
2) Brexit senza accordo
3) Nessuna Brexit

Tutto come previsto.
May: l'intesa del governo è un "passo decisivo che ci permette di andare avanti e finalizzare l'accordo" con l'Ue -> abbiamo rischiato grosso

"E' una decisione che è fermamente nell'interesse nazionale" -> caos no-deal

Ci sono "di fronte giorni difficili" -> Camera dei Comuni
NIgel Farage: il peggior accordo della storia. Tutti i ministri Brexiteers si dimettano subito

#Brexit Thread: a list of 20 random reasons why I voted to leave the EU

1. The impossibility of meaningful treaty reform. We cannot edit the supranationalist DNA of the EU
2. The exclusion of the public from decisions relating to further integration. See Treaty of Lisbon.
3. The way in which the EU will seek homogenisation and integration for its own sake and for that of EU ideology over practical necessity.
