Oh yes, and you remember what people said would happen if we held European elections? There'd be riots in the streets.

And what really happened? Fuck all.
And exactly the same fuck all is what's going to happen when we stay in the European Union.
Except maybe a mass tutting
Christ, twitter, do you remember the olden days when we solved our problems with collective tutting like a grown up country?

I shouldn't worry too much. We're going to get a general election in a few weeks, and the Brexit party has to find hundreds of candidates, and that's going to throw up a few stinkers.
The death of UKIP is what happens to personality cults when the personality is removed.
take Farage out of UKIP, and suddenly there's no party left.
Farage is a one man band. As soon as he tries to be a party, with a large number of candidates, he is at the mercy of all these disastrous personalities that hover around the fringes.

Well, she's not bringing her vote this week, and she won't have a job by next week.
The formal leadership contest will begin on Monday. How long to do the voting? They'll have to move fast.
They'll want a new leader by the end of June
The first thing a new leader has to do is get to the summer recess in one piece. If they can do that, then they get two and a half months to work out what they do next.
The Tories have to do a Queen's speech in September. They probably can't even get that through.
Okay, a general election in early October. And that's when the Tories finally put a second referendum in their manifesto.

And those two tweets settle everything. The Brexiteers are against May's deal, and they're against it, Labour's against it.

The only question left is when will Theresa May resign.
I thought Theresa May would resign two years ago. And then I thought she'd resign every day since.
She didn't resign, that's true. But I was still right for two reasons. First, I'm always right. Second . . .
I said that Article 50 was a dead end. She could either drive down this two year dead end, hit a brick wall and resign when she couldn't get anything through parliament. (This turned out to be what happened)

For the UK, the #European Elections are no replacement for a second referendum. Nor are they just a symbolic act. All the more reason to vote. Thread (I am not going to tell you how to vote. Just to vote.) 1
There is something bizarre about holding European Elections in 🇬🇧 3 years after the referendum. Voters are being asked to cast their vote in an election without knowing what the legal and constitutional significance of that election will be. Two scenarios are imaginable: 2
Scenario A: if 🇬🇧 leaves the EU by October 31 or even before then, British MEPs will only take their seats in the European Parliament for an extremely short period of time. 3

There are around 47,000,000 people registered to vote in the upcoming European elections. Turnout was around 35% in each of the last 2 EE. If we bump that up to a generous 50% for 2019 that's 23,500,000 people voting. That's the potential all the parties have to fight over.
Some areas, like London or the South East, include over 2,000,000 participating voters. Others, like North East England, are not even 1/3 of that. So you can see how on a regional level every vote counts, especially since the threshold to win MEPs in 2014 was 110-180K votes.
This time around, if the turnout does end up improving substantially, those thresholds are going to rise to 140K+ votes even in the smaller areas. And that means that votes for small parties and independents will have no chance at all of delivering an MEP.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

So, the past few weeks has seen a growing public awareness in the UK of how the far-right, especially the religious far-right, in the US likes to operate, and likes to use willing, if witless, pawns to do their bidding.

The name that's been making the headlines recently...

is The #Heritage #Foundation. But what, exactly, does The Heritage Foundation espouse? What is it's driving ideological foci?

And the answer to that, if you care one iota for women, or for LGBTQI+ people, is grim to say the least.

This is an organisation that states:

On SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Laws):

"SOGI laws are about forcing all Americans to embrace—and live out—certain beliefs about human sexuality. They are not about protecting the freedom of people to live as LGBT, but about coercing everyone else to...

- in which taehyung just wants jeongguk to stop letting his life revolve around jimin and realize that taehyung has been right there beside him all along
- This is the sequel of my yoonmin au "lovestruck" which you can find on my master thread on the pinned tweet
- This au can stand alone, meaning that you don't necessarily have to read "lovestruck" before reading this
- Homophobic people can leave through the open door thank you
- This story is fictional and none of these events really happened. I do not own any of the characters. (I wish I do 😭)
- This is an angst au. It's not really *that* angsty, but I just wanted to say that if you don't like any angsty concept then this is not for you.

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...
