I'm in Bromsgrove.
I over heard a @brexitparty_uk activist saying "it's all Remainer twaddle". I asked him what specifically. He said all of it. I said but what specifically. His response... "F**k off arse hole😡"
And this lovely fellow walked past, called me a "f**King traitor" and said "ill f**King drop you".
Important to mention that I did have a really good chat with a young (probably Tory as he used the phrase "I don't agree with everything Farage says but") brexiteer. Totally civil. And we both argued from the perspective of social justice. 👍🏿

If you called it "project fear" when people said Brexit would damage trade with the EU (almost all vocal Brexit voters) but you now claim that a No-Deal Brexit (which forces the EU to put tariffs on UK goods) is within the scope of what you intentionally voted for, YOU'RE A LIAR.
The logic of that is flawless:
You said you weren't voting for a Brexit that would compromise EU-UK free trade and now you say you were. That makes you a liar. It's too late in the game to sugar-coat that.
That's why it's insulting TO BREXIT VOTERS to say No-Deal is the will of the people, despite most Brexit voters (83% to be exact) saying they were voting for a Brexit that included free trade.

They're calling the majority of 17.4 million brits liars.

The people who say the EU would be CHOOSING to punish us if they put tariffs on UK goods, are the same people who say that we should leave on WTO rules (which legally force the EU to put its tariffs on UK products if there's no actual deal).
Remember this argument? "Do you really think they'd be stupid enough to put up tariffs, when they know how much they sell us".
Well most cars manufactured & fish caught in the UK are sold to the EU, so apparently we're "stupid enough" to force the EU to put tariffs on all of it.
For specifics, here you go. You've all heard about how the EU puts tariffs on goods coming from outside the EU, well the WTO, specifically GATT article 1, says the EU has to apply the same tariffs to us that that it applies to everyone else, if we don't have a deal.

48% of the UK voted to approve our current relationship with the EU. The government is trying to throw that relationship away in the name of the 52% who don't all approve of any of the alternative relationships on offer.

And yet somehow... some people think that's democratic?
Any rational person looking at those facts would conclude that we're heading towards a relationship with the EU that has an approval rating lower than 48%.
Then what? After No-Deal Brexit we end up having to have another in-out referendum on whatever treaty Boris Johnson then negotiates?
And this whole thing turns into Groundhog-Decade?

OR maybe... before we massively change our relationship, we democratically evaluate the new one!

sadly i believe they went here. i'm sure the hijacking took place in all of them, which in turn was taken over by the lockheed satellite. they went were nothing would ever be found or have to be explained.
twice, around 9 and 9:30 fighter jets were scrambled to the east over the ocean. they were following the original signals before the GPS spoofing showed the airplanes locations over new york, washington and pennsylvania
They gave themselves a get out of jail free card week before 9/11. Report shows dangers of GPS spoofing in aircraft. Now they could claim "working on it" The secret Lockheed satellite three days before 9/11 was responsible for air traffic cluster f@#k.

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (14-20 July)

1. Here are the week’s stories that the legacy media either skipped, obfuscated, or never provided the proper context and follow-up.
2. Let’s get started with a hoot from Kurt Schlichter, who opines on the Democrats’ dilemma presented by the whackos in “The Squad” (AOC, Omar, Tlaib, and Presser). Here are just a few excerpts from a great article:

<quote>
2A. The pain of your enemy should be your joy, and we conservatives are pegging the joymeter right about now watching the political sepsis that is CongressKid AOC and her merry band of idiots running rampant within the flabby body of the Democrat Party.

Thread: On Rules of Engagement Plus More, Part II

1. Bad rules of engagement in Afghanistan and Iraq got people killed, needlessly. Part I of this series provided an overview of what ROEs are in general, with some expert commentary on bad ROEs, etc.
2. Part II continues commentary from a couple of folks who wish to remain anonymous (special ops, covert CIA contractor, Marine) on Iraq ROEs and the politicization of both the Afghanistan and Iraq campaigns. I then wrap up the series with a short summary and conclusions.
3. <begin quotes> Same-o for Iraq, but by then the FBI had honed their skills at causing grief. I hate to say it, but I once let three guys get away that had lit me up with a PKM at night, landing me (alone) on the side of the road.

@CER_Grant @NewStatesman @CER_EU Thoughtful & interesting with important insights but must disagree on a number of issues @BrigidLaffan
@CER_Grant @NewStatesman @CER_EU 1. The U.K. post Brexit cannot avail of the European Arrest Warrant unless there is ECJ oversight- any request would be challenged in EU27 courts. Other areas that involve individual rights are similar @BrigidLaffan
@CER_Grant @NewStatesman @CER_EU 2. It is really dangerous for the #UK’s future to wrap itself in a punishment narrative-the #EU has not bullied the UK is leaving on a voluntary basis-comfort blanket of EU punishment will prevent the state & society of taking ownership of the choices it has made @BrigidLaffan

I was about to call it a night, but okay since you're here bear with me.

First, let me start out by saying that I respect you as a veteran and thank you for your service to the safety of our country.
As the son and grandson of two vets, I can't say enough about the sacrifice that you guys make. So thank you. That said, I bet there's stuff that we agree on and perhaps more that we don't. But that's life amongst humans.
But what I take most exception to is the way that you've attacked pros, calling for companies to fire some, going after them in ways that go beyond the personal. I know you think it's just a light roasting and why do they take it so seriously and sperg out?

(THREAD--7 tweets). Yesterday I said that I agreed completely with the tweeters who approved of the decision of Michael Schmidt at the NYT to let Trump free associate, without challenges, at the “impromptu” interview at Mar-a-Lago. tinyurl.com/yd49823x
1/ Now we have WaPo reporting that WH staff and advisers were “surprised,” “frustrated,” and “embarrassed” by that freewheeling interview, where none of them were present. tinyurl.com/yaggqz5c
2/ The article doesn’t say what the staffers and advisers were “frustrated” and “embarrassed” about, but the interview gave them plenty of reason to feel that way.
