Calling all Conservatives... Lord Patten says this is no longer a Conservative government but is now English nationalist... You are therefore relieved of your obligations to support it...
😠✊🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺 #StopTheCoup #democracy

Your party has suffered a hostile takeover by Leave psychopaths and ERG nutjobs. Are you really happy that the party of Peel, Disraeli, Salisbury and Churchill is now the party of Johnson, Francois and Iain Duncan “Colonel Bogey” Smith...? 😖 #StopTheCoup #democracy
Do you really wish to follow these intellectual minnows off the cliff edge of Brexit..? Destroy the country because it’s what Cummings and his mysterious backers want? 😠 #StopTheCoup #democracy 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺
The real Conservative Party is the 21-strong group led by actual living legend Ken Clarke, and comprising the very best of your benches - Dominic Grieve, David Gauke, Justine Greening, Oliver Letwin et al. If you’re not in *that* group, you’re in the *wrong* group... 😠🇪🇺🇬🇧🇪🇺
My own brother is in the wrong group, so with great sadness I call upon him to resign his government post and stand up for democracy.

Oh, and the Financial Times (not exactly known for suspect leftiness...) thinks so too:

This week has revealed that Boris Johnson’s style of ‘government’ is basically a Benny Hill remake of Charlie Chaplin’s “The Great Dictator”... 😐 #StopTheCoup #CutOffTheirJohnson

Two crucial reasons why the anti-Johnson resistance will definitely win in the end, if we fight (short thread) 😠✊ #stopthecoup #RevokeA50 #stopboris 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
1) The No Deal freaks are weak: the current attempt at suspending Parliament is an admission of failure – they do not have the parliamentary numbers to pass their keynote legislation. #stopboris #StopTheCoup #revokeA50 🇪🇺
Johnson is a lazy, ill-prepared chancer who is already completely out of his depth. Cummings is nothing like as clever as he likes to think - he’s winging it too. They’re unprincipled chancers, NOT strategic masterminds. 🤪 #resist

In these heightened times, many will be wondering whether it’s accurate/reasonable to call the appalling @Nigel_Farage a Fascist.... Is it reasonable to label him as such, or an unhelpful exaggeration...? #resist #fascism #brexit
To answer this important question, let’s consider how eminent scholar of the subject, Robert Paxton, defined fascism in his 2004 book, “Anatomy of Fascism”.... (@vintagebooks) #resist #fascism #brexit #farage
Paxton wrote: “"The moment has come to give fascism a usable short handle, even though we know that it encompasses its subject no better than a snapshot encompasses a person.... (1/4) #resist #fascism #brexit

I’ve been researching female agency in anticolonial resistance and it’s an extremely interesting subject… I’ll be publishing on this in due course but can’t help sharing some pics here… (ongoing thread)
#anticolonial #resistance #femaleagency #empire
Firstly, Josina Muthemba Machel (1945-71), an important figure in the anticolonial struggle against the Portuguese in #Mozambique. #anticolonial #resistance #femaleagency #empire #machel #josinamachel
In 1964, at 18 yrs old, Josina Machel fled the country with the aim of joining the FRELIMO resistance movement in Tanzania, but was arrested and returned to Mozambique. She was imprisoned for five months.

Mega Thread of Opinion (1 of 52)

My take on #Election2019, is one that will surprise all #Canadians who will take the #time to read past this #headline. It will be a #long #series of #tweets that will be #purely #honest & straight to the #point.
This #series of tweets will contain #jabs at #voters, the #media & our #political #parties & they are #jabs, that in my own #opinion are #merited. Agree or don’t agree, I won’t care, but it needs to be said to ease my conscience in the lead up to our election!
In 2015, Canada’s #media, declared that #Trudeau & .@liberal_party outflanked the @NDP on leftist policies & for the 1st time in recent history the media supported large deficits & destruction of our country’s finances over a more balanced approach. Let’s stop here for a sec.

After 70 years of imperial/neoliberal indoctrination the web of lies is so obviously absurde (9/11, Skripal, WH = ISIS, etc.), that it is dissoluting. The empathetic humanity connects, closes ranks and sends their eternal psychopathic rulers and their lackeys into nowhere land.
The "evil empire" is a lifelong three year old child. I certainly loved my children at that age too, however only because they created not only a surreal mess, but also made steady progress.

A great documentary about psychopathy and society:
The elite invented "democracy" to protect them from the empathetic people. The media are their means for misleading the people sedated by "democracy". This is definitely a bad thing since the people have become educated and the elite almost totally insane.

This!
As @theresa_may tells @HouseofCommons it's 'highly likely' Moscow ordered the attack on former Russian spy in Salisbury & most MPs show support to HMG to take strong action against Russia together with West & EU...
Remember this from @Nigel_Farage?
theguardian.com/politics/2014/…
What's the common point between:
- Farage: theguardian.com/politics/2014/…
- Le Pen: ft.com/content/010eec…
- Germany's AfD: time.com/4955503/german…
- Holland's Geert Wilders: forbes.com/sites/melikkay…
- Italy's Lega Nord: ft.com/content/0d33d2…
- Hungary's Orban: thedailybeast.com/how-putins-usi…
European far-right parties & their populist leaders love the idea they are the real & only patriots. Usually great orators, they focus on negative emotions: fear, resentment, nostalgia of a time that never was. But ask them about their relationship with Russia and they go silent!
