I see that ”Brexit would have been great if it wasn’t for Remainers!” rhetoric is back.
So one more time:
There’s no great Brexit.
EFTA Brexit = higher cost -and wasn’t on the table
Out of SM/CU =paperwork/queue/higher costs for exports/imports.
And unsolvable issue of NI border
The problem with a ”great Brexit” is not that ”Remainers wouldn’t cheer for it”
It’s that it doesn’t exist in this reality.
Many people tried to explain that -but the alt-reality had an unchallengeable platform
Don’t blame Remainers, blame the lack of safeguards against fake news
The debate truly should have been between what’s possible and what isn’t, but it was twisted as a ”battle of opinions“.
And still is.
Which is totally unhelpful.
Blaming Remainers for acknowledging reality claiming that makes them the killers of the Great Brexit dream is a bit rich

Even if they had believed in it, it still would have been an unachievable illusion

And the U.K. -the whole UK- will have no choice but to wake up

In other news, Italy is voting this week-end
What's at stake?
Arguments pro-reform: "More efficiency, less expensive"
Arguments anti-reform: less representation (small parties would be the more impacted) & (as Liliana Segre said): "Parliament is the highest expression of democracy, it can't be considered just as a cost."
Why is it happening BTW?
It was an electoral promise from the Five Star Movement, part of the coalition deal with the PD to set a government instead of going for elections as Salvini wanted
Prognostics are "Yes" is set to win (officially supported by 5SM, Lega, PD)

“We got a $155k Grant from a US religious foundation to say that
(But trust us we only have your best interest at mind)“
“There are better way to organise healthcare! Look at privatised testing/tracking system. Isn’t it much better when the NHS isn’t in charge? Let’s use this pandemic to push for privatisation, otherwise sick people abuse the system by having access to it“

Hi this is France
We’re f**ked
(When the optimistic note is: “We have 29,000 available ICU beds for the winter“ -what it means is we’re f**ked)
The elderly’s contaminations are raising (+45%), hospitalisations too (+50%) & deaths doubled in the part week
linternaute.com/actualite/guid…
That’s the thing with this virus: When cases start raising exponentially saying “oh but look no more hospitalisations/deaths so it’s OK now!“ is forgetting there’s a 2/3 weeks delay between the cause and the consequences.
Acc. to last data the number of cases doubles every 2 weeks. Govt announced a smarter testing strategy (prioritisation of ppl referred by the doctor) for faster results
But also set the isolation period to 7 days (was 14) &said if a kid is sick his classmates keep going to school

Bonjour @Gravel91 @gouvernementFR @NunezLaurent
Je voudrais signaler une secte opérant en toute impunité sur le territoire, dont le but est non seulement de contrer la prévention de la propagation du virus, mais aussi le désordre public, voire la guerre civile.
Une analyse rapide de la rhétorique et de la stratégie de recrutement du mouvement ici (rien de vraiment nouveau, mais des accroches variées et efficaces et différentes "vitrines" ayant pour conséquence un recrutement bien dissimulé et large)
Parmi les "vitrines" on peut citer l'ensemble des théories conspirationnistes du moment -notez que le mouvement est coordonné dans différents pays et qu'il est (bien évidemment) boosté par des acteurs bien connus de la désinformation/destabilisation

The problem is not just potentially putting hospitals under huge strain.
The problem is also potentially making them clusters
One good reason to use lots of local test centers is to limit that specific risk
It can be done -It would require firing the overpriced private providers delivering nothing and to use the existent health infrastructure instead, mobilizing local private actors as well -under the supervision of the health system

The Internal Market Bill explained:
- Govt can make or break any law claiming it's not lawbreaking
- As a consequence, Parliament is only for decoration from there
- Devolution is dead
- Also, this 👇 : You knew what you voted for (wouldn't be delivered) even when you didn't
The govt says: "We want to enshrine in law our right to break the law not to use it at all"
Understand it's just like when they say "We need to escape EU standards not to lower them although we really didn't need to do that as it is allowed to do better anytime"
Or...
"We need to escape the human rights convention but the point is not to deprive you of your rights"
It's exactly like when a teenager tells you: "I really need to buy some beer for my birthday with my friends but I have no intention to use it".
