In the current age

Amidst an era of cheats, liars, racist and populist frauds

I wanted to do a thread on a liar

A man who exploited the economic crisis of his time

For personal gain

And how we remember him
1. A man whose reading is questionable
2. A man who exploited the aftermath of an economic crisis
3. A man who used media & social media to spread lies and slurs about his opponents
4. A man who was racist
5. A man who wanted blacks to go (not home) but elsewhere
6. A man whose courage & leadership is unquestionable
7. A man who has changed his mind
8. A man who talked about the duty
1. A man whose reading skills are questionable

I have taken the Lincoln stories from the below

And I am going to end with Maya Angelou , Reagan and the state of Georgia

First

Dr Angelou
Taken from the below

"No, democracy is not a fragile flower; still it needs cultivating. If the rest of this century is to witness the gradual growth of freedom and democratic ideals, we must take actions to assist the campaign for democracy."

nytimes.com/1982/06/09/wor…
And some of his words (badly transcribed by me)
And to end with a series of threads

On various topics across the UK and USA around democracy, words and character

On the state of Jacob & those who want to exploit this for brexit

I should say - fair play to them

Amidst tens of thousands dead
The economic carnage of covid

The disaster of brexit

And the preceding decade of austerity

They so badly need to crow about something
So a reminder of Jacob

Here's a reminder of how well we succeeded on the danegeld

Here's a reminder of Jacob desperately peddling the Scum on food price savings - an article so bad EVEN the Sun withdrew it

"Year four pupils from the Jaguar and Tiger classes asked the Sajid about his role within the government & shared their ideas about British values."

I want to know

What values did he espouse?

& also

"the lost decade of brexit" is no more

worcesternews.co.uk/news/regional/…
Make "positive changes in their community"

What you mean be a do-gooder

The Home Office has a view on those

I have taken a few days to compose my thoughts around this short video

As there are so so many thoughts

So pull up a pew

And we can begin

The words in the tweet

"The first duty of the British government is to its subjects. The Chancellor is providing £4 billion of taxpayers’ money to support the economies of the midlands and the north this parliament. "

And

the discussion
So it's a tough call

Do you focus on Jacob's word on the tweet first

Or the video

I just had a flash back to the days of the Danegeld

“If once you have paid him the Danegeld, you never get rid of the Dane.”

See Jacob in the below

Here is Matt on 23rd January 2020

"The public can be assured that the whole of the UK is always well-prepared for these types of outbreaks and will remain vigilant and keep our response under constant review in the light of emerging scientific evidence."

"The wearing of face masks is not deemed clinically necessary now. Of course we keep that under review, and we will be guided by the science."

The most difficult thing I find is writing the hook into a thread

There is a simple word

It is called Imagine

But first I want to focus on a different topic

Nigeria

And I want to focus on this sentence

"Priti Patel sought to publicly intervene three times on behalf of an offshore company which has been accused in a British court of obtaining a £100m contract from the Nigerian government through corruption."
*three times*

not once

*three*
