Now the GATT 24 stuff is over and done with, we can get onto the really juicy stuff: GATS Article 12: 2 (b)
And if you're really feeling naughty, GATS Article 28 (j)
Apologies to everyone I sent on a wild goose chase last night. But let it be a lesson to all - if someone pulls out a random WTO legal article and says it is relevant to Brexit, 99% of the time it is best to ignore.

To my knowledge, the EU has more free trade agreements than any other country/bloc. And it has concluded quite a few recently.
And sure, Canada and Japan FTAs haven’t made their way through the ratification process, but they are provisionally in place. So what more do you want.
The thing is, I get that people don’t like the EU. And there are quite a few things to point at. I just don’t understand why people create completely false narratives to justify their dislike.

Really not convinced by this section of the #ProsperityUK alternative arrangements proposal.

Creates two tax and regulatory borders rather than one ... and also requires Ireland to create a new tax and regulatory border within Ireland.
I have drawn a diagram to assist understanding.

#dataviz
Also, the logic used to argue in favour of a special economic zone on the border could very easily be expanded to argue in favour of a NI-specific backstop.

Thread on tomorrow’s unofficial AA group’s publication.
In summary:

Exemptions and trusted trader schemes. Lots of new checks and bureaucracy, just not literally at the border. Something EU won’t accept on SPS. Carving out Derry/LD, Donegal as its own special economic zone (so a tax and regulatory border in both directions).
Not quite clear why this level of disruption and additional disruption would be any more palatable than physical infrastructure. At least acknowledges that there would be a border and friction. Suffers from prioritising fully independent UK trade policy over status quo in NI.

J'ai infiltré un groupe crudivore pour voir l'étendue des dégâts, je ne suis pas déçu pour l'instant
bouffer sa propre merde non, mais bouffer l'idée homéo-résiduelle isotonique de ta merde, ça oui.

Quelle info aller chercher là-dedans ? Ca on ne sait pas.

Probablement une idée de merde.
L'agriculture nous empêche de manger cru ce qui entraîne des addictions aux céréales et au sexe. Ce qui réduit la biodiversité et créé un système de boucles rétro-actives qui amènent au désastre actuel.

Since you have decided to join multitudes to do evil because of Blood Money, I will expose you and those you work for. The real Yahoo Baba will be known Nationally. Your mental issues should at least know those to avoid while malfunctioning. I pity that poor young lady. ⏰
This is what Blood Money does to your brain. It makes you forget your destiny helpers. This is someone I took in from homelessness & lack of purpose who piled bills on my account for months. I stood as parent at his 4th wedding yet he turned blackmailer because of BMC?
Wedding pictures loading. This homeless fraudulent albino seeking crumbs must be exposed for who he really is. I’m thankful my life is open and there’re no hidden secrets, what won’t these kind of murders do or say if I didn’t live right?#StayTuned

In all of #Goethe's writings, probably nothing is more relevant to the frightening idea of the #NewWorldOrder (#NWO) than the following exchange in the #tragedy #Egmont:

"A l b a. Du sagst mir was ich nicht hören sollte; auch ich bin fremd.
..
..
E g m o n t. Dass ich dir's sage, zeigt dir dass ich dich nicht meine.
A l b a. Und auch so wünscht' ich es nicht von dir zu hören. Der König sandte mich mit Hoffnung, daß ich hier den .Beistand des Adels finden würde. Der #König w i l l seinen Willen.
..
.. Der König hat nach tiefer Überlegung gesehen, was dem #Volk​e frommt; es kann nicht bleiben und gehen wie bisher. Des Königs Absicht ist, sie selbst ZU IHREM EIGNEN BESTEN EINZUSCHRÄNKEN, ihr eigenes Heil, wenn's sein muß, ihnen aufzudringen, die schädlichen #Bürger

A group of men is called a threat
Okay this has too many damn retweets now so I’ve gotta clear up a few things about a tweet I didn’t expect to pop off
1. Men, if a woman in your life retweeted this pls just take a moment to really reflect on the unfortunate reality that she genuinely is frightened of men. If you’re truly a good man then that should upset you and make you want to help fix that!

#b Excellence is overrated, competence is underrated.
Competence is knowing what to do in a situation and how to do it. It is not the same as excellence.
Excellence is dependent on other people, like judges, examiners, teachers, assessors, inspectors, auditors. But we can't control these people and whether they think we're excellent or not.

Literally everyone who was calling BS on the way the DNC Media Complex chose to report on the Pulse Nightclub terrorist attack has now been vindicated.

huffingtonpost.com/entry/noor-sal…
Pulse terror attack is 1 of the *clearest examples* of how what I call "Narrative Journalism"poisons public discourse. Many of the facts Jeltsen relates here were known within a few days/weeks, yet DNC Media remained fixated for months on it's own politically motivated narratives
You had media outlets purporting to inform the public who were actually suppressing/omitting much of what was known in order to spin politically motivated narratives about a repressed gay man rather than the story the actual facts told: an Islamic terrorist devoted to ISIS.
