Despite most Brexit voters wanting NOTHING to do with the racism and hatred supported by leading Brexit politicians, as a black man, Brexit has put me in an interesting position....
@Yanga_UK
@YANGA_UK So my message is this, to whoever decided in the last two weeks to turn up the dial on the trolls (can't imagine who in particular might be especially annoyed at me recently), you're only strengthening my resolve. So thank you.

Logic:
Trump said Congress should "marry" gun control reform with immigration reform.
That means if you don't get one, you don't get the other.
He referred specifically to the shooting deaths.
The only logical interpretation is: "Cut immigration or I'll let people die."
Trump: We don't negotiate with terrorists... But we will pass legislation for them.
It's like with @darrengrimes_. When you say that if you don't get your way, violent extremists will act...you're just their spokesperson.
(And no🙄 Ireland is different. Violence was the status quo until the Belfast agreement which we signed AS EU MEMBERS)

This stuff honestly doesn't bother me.
It's like with that thing Wigmore did. It's like they just push the "I want to cause offence" button on the keyboard. It's so blatant and transparent that it doesn't even register on an emotional level, due to its blandness.
While I appreciate everyone's support, please remember this:
Never forget... The Brexit big-wigs WANT the Brexit debate to turn into one where Remainers start indiscriminately accusing Leavers of racism, or even racism by association. If you let that happen, we've already lost. So please don't.

I'm on the way to watch the FA Community Shield with my dad who's an actual football fan. I apologise in advance for the ignorance of anything I tweet during the match. At least I'm wearing blue...
#LIVMCI

(Cue the predictable "all your tweets are ignorant" comments)
I do genuinely feel bad for not wearing my usual red colours given that the two people who've come up to me with warm words have both been Liverpool fans.
Special shout out to 19-year-old @Dom_wright99 from Liverpool! 😍

If we are at a state where the likes of Caroline Lucas/Yvette Cooper are offered up as leadership propositions then British society as a whole is so degraded and debased that there's nothing left worth saving.
As bad as the current govt is, there is something about that duo that makes me physically ill even to think of. Smug, snobby, sanctimonious and entitled to the max. There is no bandwagon they won't leap on. The UK could not survive with virtue signalling as its only policy basis
Theirs is the politics of spoiled middle class liberals who buy into the establishment's projected self image - who were genuinely surprised by #Brexit because it interrupted their childlike notion that the UK was a progressive utopia as embodied by the 2012 opening ceremony.

Today is possibly .@theresa_may's last day as PM, if .@BorisJohnson can command a majority (which is in some doubt...)

So it's a great opportunity to look back at some of the *highlights* of Mrs May's premiership in memes👇
13 JUL 2016: May was appointed as PM and named her Cabinet shortly thereafter, surprising many by giving 3 of the top #Brexit-related jobs to arch-brexiters Boris Johnson, David Davis & Liam Fox. Sheer folly, or genius in making them own what they'd sold? Sadly, the former😢
/1.
5 OCT 2016: With such a narrow result, the country could be forgiven for expecting May to propose a consensual solution, as Norway PM Erna Solberg had done in a similar situation. Most Remainers would've accepted #Norway.

May's #CitizensOfNowhere speech crushed all hope.
/2.

#BREXIT craziness update so maybots deal is blown out of the water l. Similarly corbyns vote of no confidence fails and won't be backed by SNP and lib dems
Despite her #BREXIT deal being defeated by biggest margin a government has lost a vote ever maybot seeks concessions on backstop despite being told to bog off by the EU with no realistic hope of a different answer
Corbyn meanwhile refuses to talk #BREXIT without no deal being ruled out despite knowing she can't do this whilst maybot makes no concessions either.

Brand-new and remarkable: #today, in a speech before #industry-representatives, chancellor Angela #Merkel used an old-fashioned, and,I think, INAPPROPRIATE,mathematical term to describe the #Brexit discussions..
.. in the #UK.

On 20180925, 9:50 CET, (cf. bdi.eu/der-bdi/termin…), chancellor Merkel said the following: "Wesentlich hängt es natürlich auch davon ab, was Großbritannien denn wirklich möchte. Auch da ist ja die Diskussion nicht so ganz eineindeutig [sic],
und, das muss ich..
.. allerdings sagen: Man kann nicht zum Binnenmarkt gehören, wenn man in EINEM Teil nur zum Binnenmarkt gehören will, aber in drei ANDEREN Teilen nicht zum Binnenmarkt gehört, und da müssen wir verschiedene, äh, vernünftige Wege [ rest drowned out by applause ]."

*Brexit at the Border: Voices from local communities in the Central Border Region of Ireland/Northern Ireland*
An initiative by @QUBelfast & @europe_icban to gather data on the immediate & anticipated effects of #Brexit for those living on the #Border
qub.ac.uk/brexit/Brexitf…
1/10
Here are some of the key findings from the report in slide form.
First an overview of the study itself:
Rich qualitative data (online survey & focus groups) gathered across the Central Border Region. Detailed examples & viewpoints heard from people on both sides of #border.
2/10
Respondents to the survey came from across the 8 local authority areas of the Central Border Region, moreorless equally from both sides of the border. 50/50 male/female. 80% 31-65 yrs.
There were far fewer Leave-voting respondents so they got extra attention in our analysis.

UK is heading for #Brexit In Name Only. And maybe the slow, spasmodic death of British nationalism. Thread.
I’ve never believed UK & EU would agree terms on a new - indefinite - relationship. There’s a chasm between EU’s position & UK rhetoric 2/
Conservative Party backed EU for 50 years. Most grandees, funders and MPs still believe UK would do very badly if it left SM. Financial Times & Treasury agree 3/
