UK's HUGE #Brexit threat stems from a bizarre & unprecedented confluence of 5 Groupings: 1/Political #Blukip Zealots/Little Englanders 2/Badly-informed & Manipulated Masses, 3/Dominant UK Media interests 4/FarRightRussian/USA/powers 5/Ultra-rich Financiers & Offshore Moguls. 1/10

Drill down: 1/#Blukip has been 'on this' for years. If not led by Dr Snake Oil himself #FarRightRage then by someone else? English Nationalism has been SO easy to stoke, in a totally policy-free way!, with Scottish Nationalism pushing its case daily and pissing off Anglos. 2/10

2/ Badly-informed/Manipulated Masses have been an easy target after years of Tory Austerity. They are 'useful idiots' to the four more deadly & focused groupings. Spoiler alert! They'll also be, by FAR, the very hardest HIT, so expect a backlash - when they finally wake up! 3/10

3/Dominant UK Media Interests (eg Daily Fail, Daily SExpress & Daily Trashygraph + others!) are finally having their 'offshore-owned' Day in the Sun, after Decades of Daily Demonising the EU, and all its works. Who knew that @BBCNews would so willingly sign up to this cult? 4/10

@BBCNews 4/ #FarRight Russian/USA 'white supremacist' Influencers/Funders have been 'Oh So Hard at Work' to break the UK, both within itself AND from #EU. Top Tories & #Blukip have Dirty Hands after syphoning IN Dirty Money to fund this! Props to @carolecadwalla for heroic exposures! 5/10

@BBCNews @carolecadwalla 5/ Last but not least! Our 'Ultra-Rich Financiers & Offshore Moguls' - who are THE Only Vampiric Disaster-Capital BENEFICIARIES of this #Brexit CRISIS! (It's their effing JOB!). "They never let a good crisis go to waste!" - This ain't no #ProjFear Mate! They're ALL over IT! 6/10

@BBCNews @carolecadwalla Manipulated Collusion between #ProjFear Mob (at the financial bottom) and intelligent Financiers (at the top of the wealth pile, who will inevitably game-play ANY crisis!) is a salient feature of Brexit! Those who call it #FEAR are clearly disregarding those gaming #FACTS! 7/10

@BBCNews @carolecadwalla My '5' are (real terms) on the SAME side? Uninformed heavily manipulated losers & well-informed, heavily-funded intelligent winners? who'll game ANTHING to make 'even more money'! & 'strategic gains' (IF Putin/Trump). Our fallen £ is a HUGE sign of UK's demise. LOSERS awake! 8/10

@BBCNews @carolecadwalla After decades spent growing up and toiling 4 tax in the UK (Scotland & England) - I can't recall a scenario where SO much PAIN was 'pushed for' by those least able to withstand it? Many in the middle, and above, are working to exit UK or get their money out. What'll be left? 9/10

@BBCNews @carolecadwalla I fear for our ageing population of Little Englanders, least able to fund their own health/care needs - that younger immigrants could have shored up, with their labours, tax & offspring. The demographic deficit we see DAILY, given our Elderly & Obese cohorts, WILL GROW! 10/10

@BBCNews @carolecadwalla app1. We need MPs to grapple with UK's reality! & take action! An effective opposition should have been a HUGE part of THIS? @DanielZeichner @OwenSmith_MP @Keir_Starmer @BenPBradshaw @YvetteCooperMP @hilarybennmp @DavidLammy @stellacreasy @jessphillips @wesstreeting @darrenpjones

@BBCNews @carolecadwalla @DanielZeichner @OwenSmith_MP @Keir_Starmer @BenPBradshaw @YvetteCooperMP @hilarybennmp @DavidLammy @stellacreasy @jessphillips @wesstreeting @darrenpjones app2. If @Conservatives @HouseofCommons @UKHouseofLords @hmtreasury @foreignoffice @ukhomeoffice @10DowningStreet were to fully grasp the significance of the TOTAL MESS that UK is now IN, that would be a start to fixing the problem that they/their predecessors have caused US ALL!

We're now hanging on a prayer for those few remaining sane courageous @conservatives to stick it to their own Party? to save UK! eg @PhilipHammondUK @DavidGauke @NickBoles @SamGyimah @oletwinofficial @edvaizey @DrPhillipLeeMP @JustineGreening #DominicGrieve @RoryStewartUK

Hard to see our Parliament correcting so many past errors of UK policy & judgement re #EU, in the very short time now remaining to it? The statesmen/women amongst them would have to unite/act in an unprecedented way to stop #Bozo's #NoDeal. Will they really do that in time?

This is more like it! #RevokeRemainRebuild!

(Shame the equivalent English Court is on holidays)
