“Straightforward shooting weekend”.

Obviously late to this. But what a phrase.
This is no less a car crash interview after reading about it. The way these astonishing lines just fall out of his mouth.

Chapeau, @maitlis.
Don’t think the Crown can top this Andrew interview for the drama of each line.

Even the closing “Your Royal Highness, thank you.”

Episode 1, Season 5, just wrote itself.

Tactical voting #CitiesofLondonAndWestminster

Polls & sites seem to suggest vote for Lib, not Lab - data shows there will be a Tory win without strong Lab movement to LibDems now.

In our strong Remain constituency, make your Remain vote count - however hard to cross that box.
A serious threat: Cities of London & Westminster will end up without an MP that reflects strong Remain constituency, by a split vote.

Most #tacticalvoting polls now advise LibDem @ChukaUmunna.

Get closer to another ref & deprive Johnson of a majority. Strong switching needed.
Whatever your usual voting habits, tactical voting really matters now.

It can stop a heavy Johnson majority - or unseat him/Raab.

This isn’t only about Brexit, but the country we become, as Johnson cracks down on the institutions that hold him to account. We can stop that.

#Turkey A strong judgment from ECtHR, calling for the immediate release of OSF Board member #OsmanKavala.

Ct finds beyond reasonable doubt that unlawful pre-trial detention pursued an ulterior purpose - to reduce him and all HRDs to silence.

@BarHumanRights @article19europe
Many international human rights organisations, inc @BarHumanRights, have been fiercely critical of the indictment, and the failure to rely on any material evidence in Kavala’s case.

This is now backed by the ECtHR assessment on the absence of facts, information or evidence.
Another important aspect - despite previously finding in Mehmet Altan and Sajjan Alpay’s cases that Art 5(4) had been complied with, the ECtHR now explicitly says Turkish Constit Ct does not have carte Blanche when dealing with similar complaints where liberty is at stake.

Finding it hard to stomach the absolute shamelessness of the Tory party’s cynical, frankly dystopian attempts to make truth (rather like “experts”) a matter of “opinion”.

It’s a Trumpian way of shaving off integrity from British public life.
Exhibit B.

“No one gives a toss”...

So does disinformation actually mean nothing? When Facebook and Whatsapp posts are used to deploy false information to interfere in elections, or crimes against humanity around the world?

Does the British govt not “give a toss” then either?
Exhibit C:

Turns out quite a lot of people in Britain actually do “give a toss” about truth and integrity.

Perhaps the govt should put the correct information into the public domain and finally #ReleaseTheRussiaReport.

We now live in deeply troubled times.

Multiple *fake* Facebook accounts have been set up, pretending to be nurses working at Leeds General Infirmary, or pretending to be friends of the family of the poor little lad left on a hospital floor. 1/14
These accounts were using identical scripts, in many cases, word-for-word. Their goal was to convince people the whole story was invented, and it was given credence by a Telegraph reporter. Many of these accounts have already disappeared. 2/14
The hospital have confirmed the story to be true. That’s good enough for me and anyone else with half a brain. I didn’t doubt it anyway because I’ve seen the state our NHS is in and I look at the data regularly. The NHS is in permanent crisis. 3/14

Prince Andrew WILL join Queen at church on Christmas Day in first public appearance since car crash interview.
Question- they keep referring to that interview as a "car crash"... I wonder if it's a signal he will be sacrificed like Diana thesun.co.uk/news/10508039/…
Sauce
Might be on to something... looks like Andrew was secretly in the market for non- RAF planes.
Maybe he's getting anxious...?

Cab Driver: "Oh, he's letting us go first. Thanks, fella, that's very white of you."
Me: "Play that one back for me again and 'splain how it's not racist."
Him: "Um...um...I didn't expect a white person to let me cross?"
Me: Nope. Nice try though. (a thread)
This particular driver was actually funny. His cab was clean, and he did the 4 hours each way trip over two days without complaint. He was careful about my allergies. Those are all good things.
But when he picked me up this morning, he said "I told Dispatch "You know, I thought that lady was white. She's a Jew! And boy, will she tell you to watch your mouth! I gotta be careful!"

#OpportunityCost is the aggregate net cost of doing something, vis a vis 'not doing it' at all.

The initial project, option & prospect of #Brexit came with huge opportunity costs, which were too easily pre-discounted as #ProjectFear. 1/
The initial #Leave case, dramatised by the #BorisBus, contended that UK could save its £350m pw #EU 'gross membership contribution' and pass that 'saving' straight to the #NHS - as 'additional funding'. 2/
The #Leave case focused on saving UK's #EU gross membership cost in favour of #NHS.

It ignored regular #EU annual contributions back into a multiplicity of UK projects, which would obviously be stopped, if we ceased membership.

just came across this..2008: The infamous #Squidgygate tapes of Diana, Princess of Wales talking intimately to an alleged lover were recorded by the British intelligence listening station GCHQ and then deliberately leaked

telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/15…
But was it accidental that the radio ham simply stumbled across the conversation on the airwaves? Or was it put deliberately into the public domain?

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5…
Diana would frequently talk about dying in a car crash, according to Mr Wharfe. She often raised the subject as they set out for a weekend away in Highgrove on Friday afternoons.
