We voted for it rant
17.4m people voted Brexit right?
They wanted control of laws, money and borders right?
So does No Deal deliver?
Tories, Brexit Party, UKIP, lobby sites
Number who can tell me = 0
Everyone says No deal means the sky falls in
No one explaining if it's worth it
so obvious I must be the idiot. Everyone else already has the answers. I must have got it wrong.
So then I visit
The Telegraph,
The Mail,
The Express
The Times
Hell I even tried the Guardian
Give me a table anything.
You voted for this, No deal gives this
Nada. Bugger all
So Fnck it, no one seems to be able tell 17.4m people after all this time that they're going to get the Brexit they voted for.
In fact everyone is soooo clear about what they voted for that it doesn't need discussion.

Bollocks. WTF. if this were the budget it'd be everywhere
So is No Deal is a con? It's NOT the Brexit I voted for?
Nah? Farage would complain.
💡inspiration
The other ones...Vote Leave.
Of course. They're in power!!!
We're saved, Brexit is coming...
...Except they also don't know if it's brexit
But at least it had some promise details.
I got a little iffy jiffy excited then
Because I could be the first!
I could be me,
to tell you
after oh so long, that we (the British people)
that we had got The Brexit we had voted for.
A world exclusive from a little twitter handle
Me
All I had to do was fill in the chart
Now, i know you're itching to get there, but hold on.
Give me a chance to explain.
This is a big deal for little me
A world exclusive
I've probably added at least 2 followers this week
This could bring 20 more.
Just answers for every promise in red and white
More control?
Yeah, ok there were a few problems
Not big ones!! No don't worry.
But a few...er
teething troubles?
shall we say
like, well it was all a bit ranty
and as you can see, somehow we hadn't actually really promised anything at all
And then some of the promises were a bit
ooh - erm when someone says and you suck in
a bit
wincy
yeah. embarrassing
made in the heady days of 2016
we've all been there, I promise to lose weight, every day
and still need new jeans
must be the same for their promises
#borisempathy
But I was determined now
and trust me, when i'm determined I can climb mountains
If they could deliver Brexit
The Brexit that we, the people, had all voted for
I could answer the questions
or at least guess
even if it was an itsy bitsy harder to do than I might have anticipated
So are you all there?
Are you all ready?

I wondered one by one?

it is a world exclusive!
how many editors get one
let alone little old me.

Anyway, decided not. in the end it's easier to do a big reveal. So are you ready?
DO we at last with NO DEAL get the BREXIT we voted for?
sorry. I wish i had better news.
but, maybe the good thing
even though that fizzled
is someone MUST be interested in this
No Deal ISN'T Brexit at all
worse
it sort of makes us a Vassal State
And Mr Mogg got all shouty about that
He'll care
So, just for Moggy, i started scoring
Turns out I didn't need that sophisticated a system
my 3 year old offered to help me with
some of the pictures
but that felt a bit organic
so I'm going to spare you
and say the usual things
DON'T believe me
Check yourself
And that way we won't elect criminals and shysters
it's that last one I want to talk about a bit
EU Anti Tax Avoidance Directive
Soooo boring, but it's the story
And a bit of asset stripping
I don't care - EU remain or leave, who gives one now?
But EVERYONE SHOULD CARE about the No Deal Steal
Biggest f%cking con in history.
This is about as simple as we can make it
This isn't a leave remain thing
Leave if you want to I don't care
But if you let them do this switch
You give ANYTHING good about Brexit to them
And we. We take all the shit.
And surely, that's something everyone should be fighting?
Some of us think this was the plan all along
Some of us think they pulled it off late
But it doesn't matter
Like a conjuring trick
They pulled it off so fast,
You didn't notice
And now you even want it
Because they told you it's brexit
Remainers will moan about this, don't they always?
But
If you really want to leave the EU, you should be screaming about this
Chasing them out of the pub down the road
Coz It's not just that the bastards picked your pocket
They did it while you were buying them a drink
A bad thing, and then the good

I'm not "into" conspiracies, this is probably press incompetence (we've had a lot of that)

But remember at the start I tried to find out?
That's bad - it means mail, express, telegraph, they missed this too

and I cannot change the world alone
The Good?
Baby, it ain't over yet

A lot of rushing to October
Out - Deal or NO DEAL
That's awfully convenient

If Brexit matters
Don't give them control
to swap the pieces to deliver #nodealswitch

To stop them
All we need to do, is take the time to do it right
We've been talking about this for a while now,
Which means we need your help.
Just talk to the people below

No need to fuss or shout - we're British

But be determined, and check for yourself
ALWAYS
Because you will stop them

And they WILL try again...

Because £££

An excellent summary of the cost of living in Germany vs in the UK.

This has very little to do with the EU. It's about corruption in politics.

One country invests in the long term future of its citizens

The other gives out backhanders, crony contracts and dodgy deals to donors
One thing @skedeschi doesn't cover is a comparison of the two political systems.

Like the UK, Germany is a collection of smaller states working together under a United Federation.

But unlike the UK, each state is fairly represented. In the UK, England gets a 90% block vote.
Lke the UK, Germans value both their local representatives and the ability to choose between various policies offered by political parties.

And both countries have roughly 600 MPs, albeit Germany makes this work with a much larger population

But there the similarities end

You might conclude there are no data on lab lib overt/covert pacts.

You wonder. Has no one analysed whether to compete?

TLDR you'd be right to ask. And maybe then surprised. The bigger issue is that 75% of #Johnson's seats are due to a huge mess-up on this in 2019
Data follow⬇️
Ok first #TivertonandHoniton #Wakefield

Was it worth lab and lib striking local "non-compete" agreements?

Absolutely.

LSE analysis shows⬇️📈vote share can shift ~5-30% just by not competing. Or this week maybe a darn lot more.

Someone may want to argue lib dems do slightly better.

They do.
But that's because they start far smaller
AND it's easier for marginal voters to settle on centrist.

Also that effect is minor vs the boost labour gets from LD where they need it.

But one more thing...

Since everyone is talking Criminal Justice today, for obvious reasons, some thoughts below.

Every time Patel plays Gesture Politics, changes sentences, botches laws, adds grounds for appeal, she knows she's making a broken system worse.

Proof of insincerity and/or incompetence?
How does Criminal Justice end up like this?

This man ⬇️ is a victim of another Home Office miscarriage of justice.

His pursuit by Patel is political. And the cost is massive amounts of Court and Barrister time.

Now recall, he is just one of thousands.

I doubt you're a fan of the Government's Rwanda Policy.

But imagine you were. Most likely you wouldn't want it in court, failing to work. You'd want to avoid last minute appeals.

Yet Patel creates exactly those problems. This is how to avoid them ⬇️

Whatever faces the UK, it's complex. To prosper we will need these:

Careful, long term thinking
Objectivity in difficult tradeoffs
Honesty, shrewd negotiation
Deep analysis and preparation
Dedicated ruthless planning

Meanwhile it's #Bodger #Johnson's Queens Speech.

Chances? ❌
This dichotomy is just weird:

Take #Brexit.

Imagine, if you can; your passion for extracting the UK from the EU was unpersuaded by any argument to the contrary.

OK.

But did you think doing it was so simple that Slapdash-cover-the-cracks Bodger was the guy to run it?
Out of the blue, we faced a Global #COVID19 Pandemic.

OK,caught a little short with the No 10 leadership. It happens.

But maybe reconsider when you found out he dodged all the scientific briefings at the start to write a book?

You wanted to #Bodger your way through?

The High Court has found the #HomeOffice guilty of illegal mugging of Asylum Seekers.

It is NOT illegal to flee danger, but the HO wrongly said it was, deciding to steal possessions from victims. That IS illegal.

No one knows where this 2020 policy originated. Some ideas ⬇️ ImageImageImageImage
@pritipatel has constantly and deliberately (unless she's just stupid) lied about the legality of those who flee danger to come to our country.

She also characterised the victims of violence as economic migrants - a number her HO data says is vanishingly small.⬇️ ImageImage
Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay

Lest any of us forget, this was an event, the result of a policy of hate directed toward a marginalised community unable to defend itself by lying positions wishing to rabble rouse and distract a disenchanted set of deceived voters.

Familiar?
