How peace in Europe is misrepresented and misunderstood

“It wasn’t the EU. It was NATO”

Really? europeantomorrow.blogspot.com/2019/10/how-pe…
“Something that was a regular staple of thousands of years of European history has, in a matter of just a few decades, become almost unthinkable. .. a Europe without peace now seems like ridiculous scaremongering to some citizens, so successful has this project been.”
“Europe is not the Northern Irish peace process itself, but Europe's architecture is what gave us the tools to design and build that peace.”

Excellent from @PascalLTH
“so it is this daily pursuit of peace that inspires us to strive for 'ever closer union among the peoples of Europe'. The triumph of European unity over division-the dream of a permanent peace within Europe is the lesson of our past, the work of our present,the hope of our future

A common theme in the pro-Brexit groups is wanting to hang opposition MPs for "treason". This cropped up repeatedly, in posts by multiple Facebook users, in multiple private groups.

MORE in Pro Brexit Groups than Anti

HOW MANY MORE ⁦@BBCNewsnight⁩ bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-tre…
Pro Brexit Group examples.

But this article fails to disclose how many were death threats, threats of violence, stalking, abuse.

I think it should so we understand what Pro Brexiters think is OK to say.
Anti Brexit groups also contained tweets wishing death on MPs but fewer examples, NO proportions

Those Remainers who do speak thus are harming the debate, letting the side & themselves down & should be called out every time

But we should be told the proportions @BBCNewsnight

“In August 1969, the nine-year-old was killed when the RUC fired into his home during rioting in Belfast, the first of at least 186 children to die in what would become known as the Troubles in Northern Ireland.”

Brexit is not academic in NI irishtimes.com/culture/books/…
“the teenage striker who scored two goals in the schools’ cup final, to the boy who loved animals so much he “saved every little creature around him”, and the five-year-old who wrote in her copybook on the day she died, “I am a good girl, I talk to God”, these are their stories.
“When 14-year-old Philip Rafferty left his home in west Belfast to go to band practice, his mother, Maureen, made sure he was wearing his new winter coat. The next time she saw it was in a plastic bag at his inquest, saturated with blood.”

A challenge from ⁦@matthewparris4⁩ ⁦@EdwardJDavey⁩

“The heresy that Brexit is the only question suits the LD because, there being many more Remain voters than..LD voters, the party has much to gain from converting the former into the latter.” spectator.co.uk/2019/09/eight-…
@matthewparris4 sets out 8 criteria why he is a Tory, not a LD (& we should always be grateful & respectful to those who lend us their vote so we can prove we have earned it).

What will @LibDemPress and @CarolineVoaden say in response.

We are unapologetically radical centrists
1 reason @matthewparris4 is, I think, that the idea of you lending your vote every single election cycle is the healthiest possible democratic state of affairs.

We have got to where we are because Parties have become sclerotic instead of being engaged in a vital dynamic debate

@StalinIsBack
1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

UK @TheEconomist take:
"DONALD TRUMP’S bark may be worse than his bite, but the bark is a very nasty sound. America’s #NATO allies were left w/that feeling after a summit in which the American president showed startling rudeness, but in the end raised no objection"
[MORE]
[CONT] ".. to a stout pledge of common defence against #Russia & other adversaries.
"Diplomats had issued careful warnings about the likelihood of robust exchanges at the gathering in Brussels on July 11th-12th, but nobody was quite prepared
[MORE]
[CONT] "...for the tirade against America’s 'delinquent' allies, and #Germany in particular, which Mr Trump unleashed on arrival, venting his spleen in front of #JensStoltenberg , the NATO secretary-general."
