@Turloughc When did Ashcroft back Brexit (between April-July 2015) newstatesman.com/politics/uk/20… But "incredibly" a man who controls everything is supposedly investing NOTHING - just not believable
@Turloughc @peterjukes @Otto_English If we had been told and "Ashy is investing XXX hundred thousand in backing Brexit" I would not be worried or suspicious. The fact that Lord Ashcrap is investing nothing in something he's ostentatiously publicly backing is effing terrifying

Lord Ashcroft’s Tory Right is stopping the Coalition working...The Government's early idealism has vanished due to Lord Ashcroft’s media pressure telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/…
1/3
Lord Ashcroft and his small but beautifully placed army of editors, columnists and pollsters have started to push David Cameron around. On issue after issue – Europe, welfare, education, taxation – Mr Cameron edged away from the political centre towards the Right 2/3
The transformation of David Cameron personally from the family-friendly, tree‑hugging moderniser of his early days as Tory leader to today’s veto-wielding wind-farm slasher is one manifestation of Lord Ashcroft’s success. 3/3

Gunvor Group (Putin owns more than half the shares presumably via the Ozoro Collective method - so his fingerprints are not on them) - they are not adverse to a little bribery and political corruption to pursue the interests of their own political masters bloombergquint.com/business/swiss…
Corruption in Congo and Ivory Coast: Gunvor in the spotlight publiceye.ch/en/media-corne…
The almost invisible Andrey Pannikov connection (only seen in the shadow of Putin's judo pal Gennady Timchenko) ties in to the the broader Gunvor 'party' (which leads on to Jim Mellon and Lord Ashycrap, the latter enjoys his food) ft.com/content/c3c5c0…

@brexit_sham To be a pro-Brexit conspirator you need circumstantial evidence at a minimum to start to make a case, what if your boss hangs out in Russia a hell of a lot and he admitted he can speak Russian?
@brexit_sham exhibit 2 my lord
@brexit_sham and he really digs the Ukraine too - particularly the bit where the Russians have attacked and seized territory and nuclear bunkers

#Brexit in a nutshell: theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
I'm confident that the reason we're in this mess is that the men involved in #Brexit are those who grew up on a diet of "Battle", "Warlord" & "Commando" comics, which is how we got our mindless xenophobia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Pi…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warlord_(…
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commando_…
Nowadays it would all be #CallOfDuty and so forth, but we'd be playing on servers with PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE OTHER COUNTRIES AND COULD LOOK PAST THE STORYLINE

After 2.5 years of wanting to stop #brexit I have in theast half hour converted to the leftwing case for #Brexit as the best way to achieve a socialist future and set out my reasons in this thread #leavernow #lexiternow
It is clear to me that the EU is a corporate playground and neoliberal cabal one only needs 2 compare US and EU standards of animal welfare & food safety 2 see how true this is chlorinated chicken is the food of the Lexitariat #leavernow #lexiternow #Brexit #JC4PM2019
I believe that the evil EU has stopped the fraternalist tory party from implementing the Scandinavian social model as practised in Sweden Finland and Denmark and believe that they will pursue the doctrine of socialism in one percentile #Brexit #lexit #JC4PM2019

I have long maintained that a second referendum on #Brexit is the only way out of the UK's current conundrum.

But a few aspects of this have been nagging at me.

Now having been put on the spot by @edaross I am going to explore this a bit more in a thread.

1/17
First, if a #PeoplesVote is to happen, it requires an extension of the #Article50 negotiation period - because it would take a good 20 weeks to organise such a referendum, as @ConUnit_UCL argue convincingly here:
constitution-unit.com/2018/10/09/how…

2/17
At the time of writing we are 123 days, or just over 18 weeks away from exit day 29.3.2019

If Commons has its "Meaningful Vote" (that failing might be the starting gun for a referendum process) on 10 December that is 104 days, less than 15 weeks from exit day. Too tight.

2/ Consider Ukraine. In September 2013, before the overthrow of Yanukovych one of Putin's adviser's Glazyev threatened a Russian attack on Ukraine if it signed an Association agreement with the EU - an utterly unacceptable stance in modern Europe. theguardian.com/world/2013/sep…
3/ This, is of course exactly what happened after the overthrow of Yanokovych. But here is Corbyn in April 2014 faithfully parroting the Kremlin account that Putin's actions were a response to a far-right coup in Kiev and NATO expansionism. morningstaronline.co.uk/a-972b-Nato-be…
4/ And there's Syria. The horrors we have seen on TV and in the press are perhaps only 1/1000 of the reality of the barbarism inflicted on the Syrian people by Assad & Putin. But antiwar campaigner Corbyn has made hardly a squeak of protest.
