Brexit must have been engineered in a laboratory to divide everyone.

It started as a split in the Tory Party, then rippled out like a cracked windscreen to split young & old, north & south, towns & cities, Scotland & England, unionists & nationalists, Labour Party from itself...
The only people who benefit from a country being this divided are its enemies.
And if we end up with a Brexit that Brexit voters don't like (which would lead to permanent animosity), as far as I'm concerned, the UK has been conquered.

Boris Johnson getting a #BrexitDeal today only strengthens the case for a referendum.
It means people will be voting a Brexit that belongs to the man behind the Leave Campaign rather than a "reMAYner Deal".
#BBCqt
A vote on a Labour deal or a May deal would be seen as a rigged referendum. Boris Johnson's name on the deal makes it legitimate. #Bbcqt
I said the same thing about Michael Gove during the leadership race.

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.

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".

While some are focused in #Brexit slogans, and not able to separate facts from fiction, here is a thread on how the EU is present in your town, city and region, for our UK friends.

Examples of real projects and initiatives⤵️
Liverpool:
-The University alone successfully bid for £7.5m in EU funding for research on nuclear science, cardiovascular health...

-£2.85m for advice to SME manufacturers + £2.6m for 'eco-Innovatory' to develop low-carbon goods and services to help SMEs to grow sustainably
Kent:
-£1.6m of EU funds for Diabetes programme to improve long-term health and well-being to 1000 patients with Type 2 diabetes (with partners from BE,NL and FR)

-Teaching + research facilities at University received £75m EU funs for new facilities (Kent Law Clinic)

Today is possibly .@theresa_may's last day as PM, if .@BorisJohnson can command a majority (which is in some doubt...)

So it's a great opportunity to look back at some of the *highlights* of Mrs May's premiership in memes👇
13 JUL 2016: May was appointed as PM and named her Cabinet shortly thereafter, surprising many by giving 3 of the top #Brexit-related jobs to arch-brexiters Boris Johnson, David Davis & Liam Fox. Sheer folly, or genius in making them own what they'd sold? Sadly, the former😢
/1.
5 OCT 2016: With such a narrow result, the country could be forgiven for expecting May to propose a consensual solution, as Norway PM Erna Solberg had done in a similar situation. Most Remainers would've accepted #Norway.

May's #CitizensOfNowhere speech crushed all hope.
/2.

A short thread on how we got to where we are:

#Tory Party 2015:

Cameron:
Those extremist Eurosceptics in my party need to be stopped.
I'll call a Referendum on Europe once and for all
I'm a winner, I've just won a GE no one expected & Scottish Indy campaign
I know how to win
#Tory Party 2016:

Leaver #Tories: Let's
Take Back Control
They need us more than they need us
Those German Car makers will get Merkel to give us a good deal
It'll be the easiest trade deal in the world

People: Ok - let's #Brexit

Cameron: I know I started this but I'm off
May:
I'm here.
Strong and Stable.

May:
There will be no General Election till 2020
We will be out of the Customs Union
We will not be under ECJ rule
I'll remove your rights to live & work in EU but I'll call it a good thing because Immigrants are bad

The Tory Party MP's have become the modern version of the histocracy of old, managing the country in the manner they see fit, supplementing their will for those in their constituency while simultaneously making unilateral decisions which effect every person in their feafdom.
With the way things are going I am expecting to be burnt out of my home by the Tories to put sheep on my land. The only difference with the 21st century version is that burning out is a court order and the sheep going on the land are multi millionaire housing traders
who happen to make large donations to the Conservative Party and listen to what they say, thereby making them sheep - get it? (You see! Scottish History can be pertinent to commentary on modern political issues - HES!).

*Brexit at the Border: Voices from local communities in the Central Border Region of Ireland/Northern Ireland*
An initiative by @QUBelfast & @europe_icban to gather data on the immediate & anticipated effects of #Brexit for those living on the #Border
qub.ac.uk/brexit/Brexitf…
1/10
Here are some of the key findings from the report in slide form.
First an overview of the study itself:
Rich qualitative data (online survey & focus groups) gathered across the Central Border Region. Detailed examples & viewpoints heard from people on both sides of #border.
2/10
Respondents to the survey came from across the 8 local authority areas of the Central Border Region, moreorless equally from both sides of the border. 50/50 male/female. 80% 31-65 yrs.
There were far fewer Leave-voting respondents so they got extra attention in our analysis.
