After 5 years of #Brexit #Fish, everyone knows?

1. EU buys our fish
2. Tariffs kill margins
3. Perishable fish hate delays

On Sunday Fishy Minister, George Useless said tariffs didn't matter, but surely even he didn't mean fish?

Yeah. He's a Pillock.⏬

thefishingdaily.com/latest-news/uk…
Why the fuss about his plans?

He (Maybe) gives us additional fishing areas. But

1. Kills EU fish trade due to
2. Tarrifs on fish
3. Perishable fish rotting in kent.

Recognise anything?

We knew they were in denial, but this is just insulting the intelligence of the industry.
This is the full letter from the industry to Mr Useless about how dangerous and useless are his #Brexit plans

Fish is the most emotive Brexit issue
Its effect on a deal is many times its value

If these cretins understood anything surely, it'd be FISH

Nope Pillocks on Pollock
Can Mr Useless argue that this was somehow ambiguous, that he couldn't anticipate this problem? Maybe the science changed?

There's more. Like issue 4. we lack the fleet to fish!
And issues 5-20. ]

All the issues Useless has stumbled over were predicted.
But what beggars belief is this he spent all weekend running around telling everyone EU tariffs don't matter.

When they and his border delays destroy the industry most important to him.

The basics of Trade for George.

The fun reasons for #freepress.

Accountable democracy
A memory or promises made
Preventing corruption.
Asking why so many died.

That's why we got rid of ours.

UK has a #proxypress 75% owned by Conservative proxies.

That's how this happens instead of doing the right thing⏬ Image
If you think that distorted editorial articles dictated down the phone by owners in tax havens are just fine, then you'll be comforted by this news.

If that strikes you as massive unpaid and undeclared political advertising, then you may be a little less happy.
Luckily you still have a choice.

You can choose NOT to visit the websites of the #proxypress, NOT buy their papers and to NEVER share their articles via social.

Instead, you can support people who will report this [] or this []

BREXIT NEWS Brexit trade deals to be put in force before MPs get a chance to scrutinise them independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi… via @circleboom
Sadly, this⏫ is not a new story. Over the years since 2016, Brexit has been so that the only thing that remaining is a pitiful wine about Sovereignty.

Except not even that.

Yet those who were rabid for it are either vacant or ignorant.

And not just once.
Some examples⏬
The UK Japan trade deal, no review yet the EU Japan deal was scrutinised by Parliament []

UK trading terms. No parliament input. Massive scrutiny of EU equivalents []

NEWS TRYING TO BE HUSHED UP Why the UK Could be the Source of the Next Pandemic bylinetimes.com/2020/11/16/why… via @circleboom
There's an additional and important point relating to the current pandemic.

If you can remember back to March, the start of this Pandemic was characterised by Crytpos demonising the "China Virus". Trump was one, but Farage and most of the ERG joined in.

@peterjukes
They conveniently ignored all the outbound efforts that China made to prevent the infection from spreading.
We know asymptomatic cases limited their attempt but they tried.

Since April the most dangerous countries likely to export #Covid19 have been UK and US.

Our Checks?

Loking at recent events in UK and US leads me to conclude
"who will you vote for" is,

at least for the all important swing voter

no longer a predictor of
who they will vote for

Anyone struggling with counter intuitive outcomes see #Brexit is reducing UK sovereignty.
Note.

Expect very soon to see 1000s of "The Polls Got It Wrong" threads.

This is NOT one of those threads. It's more "NRA" than that.

Polls don't get it wrong, politicians who use polls get it wrong.
For those open to counterintuition, this is a trend.

In 2007 Black Swan author, Nassim Taleb argued the death of models because we humans are (simplified) bad at spotting unlikely things.

The turgid book should have failed, but in landing with 2008's crash proved its point

Joe Biden (JB) OVERHEARD DISCUSSING THE UK with his new Secretary of State (SOS)

JB: I know about the Ireland idiocy, I've told them what they risk with GFA. I'm more concerned they hurt us and EU?

SOS we agree, they're undermining the whole treaty by shifting blame to allies
SOS: It's stubborn ideology they're way beyond a Brexit definition. UK stopped all cross border cooperation, not just political or legal under the ECJ, I mean everything

From intelligence sharing to tourism. Even cancer treatment!

Without exaggeration sir, the Koreas do better
JB, so we've effectively lost our main ally in Europe?

SOS it's beyond that sir, they're an active detractor.

Europeans don't even want to be in the same room with them, so mendacious and manipulative have they become.

JB What about #Covid19. Surely they're working together?

With Captain Hindsight we now know Vallance and Whitty we're right in September.

Could we have been Captain Foresight?

In this thread, I forensically take apart a "Great Barrington" proponent.

You need no foresight, just objectivity and integrity.

Journalism do you know that?
As a past AZT viral researcher, I know broad ideas drive innovation

But I expect us all to follow the Scientific Method.

What is IMHO dangerous is politicising science, while failing to confront theories lacking evidence.

That's a view
I will attempt to prove it objectively.
⛔🚮1
Here I analyse theories proposed by Great Barrington proponent; Sunetra Gupta.

In science, we judge theory by its ability to predict results.

Gupta's theories are questionable because they predict poorly.

Responsible Journalists look at the average balance of theory.
