What do you think happens when EU countries does this to us?
In my job in France I did everything from customer service to scrubbing toilets alongside working class young people.
DO YOU THINK WE WERE MAKING £36K A YEAR!?

You're CREATING an elitist system!
thesun.co.uk/news/9699349/m…
That's 25,000 jobs in ONE SECTOR!
Season worker jobs are not high-earning! They do not require university degrees! These are the futures of British young people which this government crapping on!
theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
That's why the "Poor posh Femi can't go skiing" comments DISGUSTED me.

They claim to fight elitism but they're creating it!

Working class young people like my former colleagues will see their horizons literally narrowed to one job market, instead of 31🤢

The EU charges a tariff on all goods coming in.

Anyone suggesting we leave the EU without a deal is arguing that all British goods should be taxed when sold to our main export market.

I'll give you three guesses as to where 50% of ALL fish caught by British ships is sold.
Source: publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld201617/ld…
So please throw this information at anyone who makes the fish argument. #Whereyagonnasellit

#StopAndSearch won't affect me as much as many others (though more than most). If I conscientiously object to my privacy being unjustifiably violated, I'm privileged so it won't ruin my life.
But for the historically targeted, set to be further marginalised... :🖕🏿Johnson & Patel
I'm against #StopAndSearch without their being a reason to suspect THAT person, but if we ARE doing it, it shouldn't just be in some areas. Make it TRULY random/fair.
Make the rich rural Tory-voting pensioner feel the privacy violations they're inflicting on black boys in cities.
After all... Boris Johnson did say that the most ''loving'' thing you can do to a person is have an officer of the law force them to empty their pockets in public.

So why not spread the love?

If the question is whether the UK Remains or Leaves the EU, the question's substance is the UK-EU relationship.

Remain was fixed by UK/International law.
Unless the Leave relationship was decided in 2016, it was literally IMPOSSIBLE for Leavers to know what they were voting for.
I know... I know... I avoid using that phrase usually. But the logic above and below is irrefutable.
I'd be more of a "patronising Remainer" for thinking Leavers are too delicate/irrational to handle this simple reality:
Even in No-Deal, there WILL be a new treaty within ten years and NOBODY could have known its specifics in 2016 or the whether they'd prefer it to EU membership.

THREAD..

..on the biggest and baddest lobbyists in EU town

..the huge influence they have on EU lawmaking

..and how many represent interests from outside the EU.

/1
According to Transparency International @TI_EU, the lobby organisation that has held the most high-level meetings at the European Commission between 2014 and 2018 is @BusinessEurope.

"BusinessEurope?!?" you ask.

/2
@TI_EU @BusinessEurope It is hardly surprising that the vast majority of people have never heard of BusinessEurope.

There is a worrying media blackout about how a complex network of organisations lobby the #EU on behalf of the world largest corporations.

This was one of the best & most nuanced conversations I've ever had about #class & #poverty in America (& that intro!😭 Wow, thank you, @thebradking).

1 of the only podcasts I coulda talked abt the significance of po' white #RuthLangmore from @ozark wearing a #Tupac shirt.🔥🔥🔥
Wow - I forgot about all the cool stuff we discussed: state-level poverty programs, switching to a service-based economy in rural areas, the Case-Deaton white death paper, the liberal elite write-off of working class whites, white economic privilege, & class anger/resentment.
...specific ways for historians to get *real* history to average Americans, how to combat racism through class & labor issues, the pain & anguish of the "psychic death" of rural whites, & adapting a federal jobs program to the state level...

So now we have combat ready armored vehicles with the EU flag which are being used against unarmed European protesters who are demonstrating against a pro EU authoritarian regime.

Still think the #EU is a “project for peace”?

#Mscron #GiletsJaunes #YellowVests #Paris #France
The biggest lie that the EU, the mass media, and the people who support it tell everyone, and to themselves, is that the EU is a democratic organization.

The EU isn't a democratic organization, it's actually the excat opposite.

dispropaganda.com/single-post/20…
Meet the president of the #EU, #DonaldTusk, who was never democratically elected into office of course, that's not how they do things in the EU, and who is also one of the most corrupt and despotic politicians in the whole of Europe.

Just ask #Poland.

“May has left our fingers in the EU mangle but there is a way to get free”; highly dillusional article by ⁦@DavidDavisMP⁩. 1/

thetimes.co.uk/article/335917…
Take this for example, ditch #EU regulation and replace it in order to reach a trade deal with the US. They will have us for breakfast, forcing further deregulation and acceptance of harmful agri-products. Industry don’t necessarily want it and in services they will squeeze us./2
This; how, what and when? @DavidDavisMP has been Secretary of State for 2 years and hasn’t come up with any substantial and viable proposals, as the technology doesn’t exist. Neither has he strongly engaged with the #EU27 to work this out due to lack of internal HMG agreement. /3
