German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier addressing Irish President Michael D. Higgins: "We know the border issue...is not just a problem for your country. We have to see it as a European one and we will continue to do that, so you can be assured of our ongoing solidarity."
Asked about Jeremy Hunt's claim that Angela Merkel was ready to do a deaI on the Withdrawal Agreement, President Steinmeier said: "I hope there is no increase in the fantasies of people who support a no-deal Brexit...
"...and that those who have sympathy for this option don’t overlook the consequences... I hope that in the near future we will work with a leadership in the UK that operates on the basis of a realistic scenario, not one that is wished for."

Here are the verbatim remarks from @EU_Commission spokeswoman @Mina_Andreeva in response to questions as to whether or not the UK had made concrete proposals to replace the backstop:
1/ We are willing to work constructively with Prime Minister Johnson to look at any proposals – any concrete proposals – that he may have as long as they are compatible with the Withdrawal Agreement.
2/ You are also aware that discussions at technical level will continue with the UK sherpa David Frost in Brussels in the Commisison this week...

Here are the lines to take by EU capitals, as circulated this morning by EU institutions, in response to Boris Johnson’s letter to @eucopresident Donald Tusk
1/ the backstop is a “necessary, legally operative solution...to prevent the return of a hard border on the island of Ireland”
2/ the EU “regrets that the new UK govt wants to replace a legally operative solution with a commitment to try to find a solution - yet to be found - by the end of the transition period”

Dominic Cummings in 2016 on the appeal of Communist propaganda: “There are ideas from all sorts of campaigns, and from commercial advertising, which I think are valuable.... the most important PR and propaganda was invented by the Communist Party.. economist.com/bagehots-noteb…
“Celebrity figureheads and whatnot. The famous ‘Peace, Land, Bread’ posters. There’s all sorts of interesting things you can look at.”
And on a second referendum: it is perfectly possible that leadership candidates to replace David Cameron will say that they think there are good grounds for a new government team to offer the public a voice on what the deal looks like.

Thread: On the Consequences of Delayed Justice, Part I

1. There is an old adage that “justice delayed is justice denied.” The Left are all about “second chances” and weak penalties, especially among favored groups. But what is the long-term impact on society?
2. The failure to prosecute criminals and dispense harsh justice not only emboldens them to commit more egregious crimes (it’s psychologically inevitable!) but also provides incentives for others to follow the same path to “reward” (and notoriety).
3. While this applies to criminals of all persuasions, from the petty to the most violent, I am speaking here of members of the American political class and the serious damage that delayed justice has wrought on the body politic of this country.

"The very moment that the U.K. leaves, we'll have a border again between Ireland and Northern Ireland. That has at least the potential to ignite a conflict that apparently has become totally calm."
