More from the archives...

A blog post of mine from December 2012, criticising a @fromtga column about a future in-out EU referendum (it wasn't called Brexit then)

jonworth.eu/enlightenment-…
TGA: when the people are “confronted with the facts” they will keep UK in 🤔

JW: "if we are to learn anything from the Irish referendum debacles over the Treaty of Lisbon it is that civil society based campaigns make more sense – any campaign must be participative, not top down"
JW: "The problem is that – contrary to the way TGA frames it – there is no one definition of the facts when it comes to the European Union. How can a number of jobs or a GDP gain [...] be balanced by a return of national sovereignty or no more contributions to the EU budget?"

This Matt Hancock returning to work business is really important

Not only is he the 🇬🇧 Minister of Health, but how soon someone can return to work post- #Coronavirus #COVIDー19 is going to be a major question in the coming weeks

A (very detailed) thread
So the facts of the matter first

Hancock started to have symptoms Thu 26 March
irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/w…
He says he had two bad days, but when those were is not stipulated

He confirmed he had tested positive on Fri 27 March
Tim Shipman says he was in isolation before the confirmed test


And he was out of isolation and on BBC Question Time last night Thu 2 April

A short thread on Matt Hancock

And before sniping at me: this is *not* about his health. I wish him well, just as I wish anyone who has #Coronavirus the very best

But something is not right. These are the questions that need answering
1️⃣ Why was Hancock back in public 6 days after a supposed positive test, rather than the 7 days NHS guidance says?

2️⃣ Why is UK guidance 7 days, and WHO guidance 14 days?
3️⃣ Did Hancock have a further test at the end of the quarantine period to confirm he is now virus free?

4️⃣ Were all the people he was in contact with while he was infected adequately tracked and tested?

Great to be @MiddleEastInst for an event on #EU-#MiddleEast relations with @AlexVatanka, Przemyslaw Osiewicz and @KianpourWorld. What do changes in EU personnel and the new @EU_Commission mean for EU-MENA relations?

Four years ago I had no twitter, no blog, nothing.

Today, people have spent tens of thousands of hours listening to my podcast, reading my blog, attending events, enjoying my book, and following the story here on twitter.

How did I go from zero to here?

It's a doozy of a tale:
Back in 2015 I found myself running charter schools after years of developing real estate. (that's a story to be told as well).

I was just a 'normal' guy doing normal things, with a hobby posting in forums and reading man-type blogs.

And then my friend @Cernovich got on twitter
@Cernovich I followed him here. I had no idea what was up. #GamerGate was a thing. I just watched and tried to figure it out.

I'd tweet some, but it was only for a few people.

Stuff you'd never tweet to 25k.

Edgy and fun. It was a lark mostly.

I thought no one would ever see it.

Lord James of Blackheath has been threatened with the police, told to retract the comments he made in the House of Lords on EU Defence Union, and is facing demands to resign and remain silent on the issue from now on.

"European Union Defence plans are associated with the eventual formation of a European Federal State. Under the current system of unaccountable governance, an unelected oligarchy. A nation state that contracts out its defence has ceased to be."

THREAD..

..on the biggest and baddest lobbyists in EU town

..the huge influence they have on EU lawmaking

..and how many represent interests from outside the EU.

/1
According to Transparency International @TI_EU, the lobby organisation that has held the most high-level meetings at the European Commission between 2014 and 2018 is @BusinessEurope.

"BusinessEurope?!?" you ask.

/2
@TI_EU @BusinessEurope It is hardly surprising that the vast majority of people have never heard of BusinessEurope.

There is a worrying media blackout about how a complex network of organisations lobby the #EU on behalf of the world largest corporations.

Perdida 🇬🇧🇪🇸🇪🇺
@maria_hoskins
This is gonna be long, but I think it's worth it. A well-regarded twitter poster, let’s call him Giorgio, has recently publish a thread stating among other things as follows. “The pathways to stopping or delaying Brexit are blocked.
But once the mandate is discharged, the pathways to UK rejoining, or being in a close association agreement with EU, within the single market and customs union, will be open, with no obstacles.”
This approach annoys me for two reasons, one because Giorgio seems to be attempting to cajole Remainers to put all activity on hold until we actually leave the #EU.
