UK Brexit media have found a way to spike revelations that UK govt refused European help with ventilators..

...they are now personally blaming EU officials for infecting Boris Johnson & Govt staff with Coronavirus.

This is how media worked in the 1930s prepping people for war.
2/
This is how a nation is kept stupid, whipped up with hate and how the media can mobilize a country for war.
3/
I’ve been too desperate to see the good in my country that eventually brings us back to decency.

I no longer believe this is possible.
Everything - not just bits here & there - will be blamed on foreigners.
That is not just our policy. It is our culture now: hate.

+UPDATE+

German media now discussing research from their Coronavirus experience that *suggests* virus spreads far more in mass gatherings than previously thought..but less in places like shops or via surfaces.

NB: it still spreads in all - but relative dangers being studied.
2/
This suggests relative weight of people:

1. Density
2. Proximity
3. Numbers

Far more important than initially thought.

If true this greatly influences our “exit strategies” on Coronavirus ie. no immediate return to mass public transport or mass sport/cultural events etc.
3/
This has many other implications:

It suggests that lockdowns could be actually far more successful than previous hopes BUT that various pre lockdown practices should be delayed as long as possible - potentially till 2021.

Note this is based on current German thinking.

+UPDATE+

UK govt is making contingency plans to fly in agricultural workers from Eastern Europe to harvest fruit & vegetables.
2/
Just for the record this is not a satirical tweet.
3/
Coronavirus has also seen a further (post Brexit) significant reduction in numbers of many East Europeans - particularly Poles - as infection rates in UK higher than home and in some cases hospital care worse than home country.

+UPDATE+

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson tests positive for Coronavirus.
2/
With the news that both the PM, Matt Hancock as well as some civil servant regulars at Nr. 10 have tested positive for Coronavirus - surely it’s time for a national government.

This can’t go on like it at present.
3/
Apparently the picture below is from PMQs this Wednesday - 2 days ago.

The two gentlemen in the middle of the huddle - Boris Johnson & Matt Hancock - have both tested positive for Coronavirus.

When supporters of Boris Johnson say: he achieved what so many claimed was impossible: he got EU to renegotiate #Brexit deal therefore he can also get an EU trade deal done by December next year although many say unlikely .. It’s important to remember the red line PM crossed.. /1
He didn’t get the new Brexit deal by bullying/impressing/charming the EU. He got it by agreeing to protect their single market on island of Ireland after Brexit by putting a customs border down the Irish Sea. Allowing a ‘division’ between NIreland + GB he’d pledged never to do /2
Of course the EU also engaged with Boris Johnson because they believed that he - as a political figure - had a better chance of selling a deal back home to MPs than Theresa May ever had - BUT have a chat in EU circles .. /3

‼️Boris Johnson is Britain's Donald Trump

– Complete with Breitbart's Bannon and Russia Cover-Up

BORIS JOHNSON
MAIN MEGA THREAD

Boris Johnson is/was advised by Steve BANNON – Trump’s campaign manager & VP of the notorious, now-shuttered electioneering firm Cambridge Analytica, which he co-founded in 2014 w/ hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, who also backed the Breitbart sites.
bylinetimes.com/2019/06/12/bor…
📌Johnson and Bannon became friends when Johnson was still Foreign Secretary and Bannon was still in the White House in early 2017.

📌They have been in contact ever since and the fruits of this friendship have been evident for some time

1. Worst national leadership in my lifetime forcing through the most damaging, misguided & missold policy I can remember. Ideology & vested self interest replace statesmanship, soundbites replace sound judgement & autocracy subverts democracy.
#Brexit harms us irreparably #FBPE
2. A flawed Leave campaign based on lies, deceit, disingenuity & over simplification & a #Remain one fought w/o any positivity from the Govt & no real commitment from Labour, whose leader was virtually AWOL, did no justice to #Brexit complexity & betrayed our democratic process.
3. A mere 37% of voters/26.5% of the Ppl voted leave in a legally Non-Binding test of public opinion which has been corrupted, on the basis of an illegitimate political promise & interpreted as being the irrefutable Will of the Ppl.
The 1st is insufficient to claim the latter!
