Tim Montgomerie is going to advise the government on social justice.
Let's take a look at his past record, shall we?
(@SebastianEPayne, in case it might interest you...)

@SebastianEPayne @ByDonkeys there might be a few gems that might interest you here.
Let's start with this.
Note that "best thinkers" may not be the "best achievers"

@SebastianEPayne @ByDonkeys So, to establish social justice (and fight poverty), we have the great thinking that has managed to make things worse in the past years before the Brexit Bubonic Debacle entered the mix.
What's next?
Oh.
What's next?
Oh.
@SebastianEPayne @ByDonkeys Great, so moderate right anti-migrant social justice.
Sweet. Can't wait for what's coming next.
Oh: More police officers won't fix social problems, but it's needed to be able to feed your agenda to the public.
(How long has he been advising Johnson?)

@SebastianEPayne @ByDonkeys Anything on actual ways to achieve social justice?
Oh, there -Here is the Conservative "best thinking" that will lift the UK out of poverty.

@SebastianEPayne @ByDonkeys UK people, here it is: Boris Johnson new adviser's plan to achieve social justice is to pull for tax dodgers.
Hard Brexit/avoid the EU anti-tax avoidance directive is needed
(What he forgets to say is that the tax dodger -let's call him Tim- creates jobs, yes, but in Singapore)

@SebastianEPayne @ByDonkeys Which reminds me a lot of the Legatum Institute's official line: "How to lift the world out of poverty"
Which is all but suprising if you look at Tim's CV.
Let's hope he'll be as successful as he was with this Legatum's programme he led. Prosperity for all is here already, right?

@SebastianEPayne @ByDonkeys Of course Montgomerie is a 55 Tufton guy.
Because, you know, there are still some of them that are not in the current government -yet.

@SebastianEPayne @ByDonkeys As per Matthew Elliott's cunning plan: "to influence the government, become the government".

@SebastianEPayne @ByDonkeys In the name of social justice, I expect Montgomerie to push for the cheap GMs his UK2020 collegue loves so much (and not just because they fund him&quite a few other think tanks of the network) &probably "green policies" like "fracking for cheap energy"...

@SebastianEPayne @ByDonkeys I expect a come back of the infamous Economists for Brexit to claim "whatever Tim Montgomerie says is needed for social justice", as he's one of these "economists" adviser, along with ERG's chair Rees-Mogg or "More Job for Singapore" pro-Brexit hypocrit...
@SebastianEPayne @ByDonkeys Finally, just like every single Leave voter wanted, the NHS will be eradicated in the name of social justice/fighting poverty ("not good+too expensive").
The "Will of the People!" (of the US religious fnd that paid a think-tanker to write anti-NHS reports for various think tanks)

@SebastianEPayne @ByDonkeys To end this not exactly comforting preview of how the social justice concept will be abused under this governement, I invite you to be attentive at the countless efforts to gaslight and divide the UK people, and predict a worsening of scapegoating eg thanks to former colleagues..
@SebastianEPayne @ByDonkeys ...and future ones.
"These people we tell you to hate are the reason you don't have social justice."
(Don't look at tax dodgers)
(Not our fault)

@SebastianEPayne @ByDonkeys Although I'm pretty sure we wouldn't implement that quite in the same way.
