Hilary Abernathay. Some #Covid19 & #Nexit for all?

When Jacob Rees Mogg threw dead fish into the Thames at WETminster, I thought, like most of you, he was making a point on behalf of the Fishing INDUSTRY.
It was only yesterday that we all learned he was acting on behalf of the FISH.
Fish happiness, not Brexit, was the goal!

In the year before #Brexit started -
(note: Brexit was not done, it's just begun)
- I worried about those most impacted.
My logic was while those wishing to remain would be most disappointed, they would also be most prepared.
#BrexitDeal would hurt its supporters.
Starting ☝️

Starting ☝️
Two reasons were anticipated.
1. Famously the economic consequences would hurt Leave voters the most (albeit no one expected the madness of combining #Brexit with #Covid19)
2. Sovereignty and independence would be reversed; we'd end up with less of both (as we have).
Number 3?

We didn't spend enough time on No.3. Few anticipated only 15 days of #Brexit would be needed.
Also a dilemma. It would have needed remainers to be listened to. Or leavers to question #Brexit.
3. What happens: A small leave group realise the con; disagree with Leave Mainstream?

No 3: And now
Mogg boasts of having fish back while:
* The fishing industry is in arms; screaming betrayal
* Some fisheries are already bankrupting
* Because fish we can't sell is rotting
Yet Jake's happy the fish are happy.
Almost as if ☝️ he had nothing to do with this

Back when Jake 'there's something fishy about him' was campaigning for the Brexit he just initiated his stance varied.
I could be accused of believing it was just this sort of moment he was concerned about when he used to represent the now bankrupting⏬

Some of us have been pointing out the small flaws in Mr Mogg's logic for a while, just this sort of circumstance [
But anticipating #Brexit flaws is easy as catching blind sloths.
The new game is WHAT BREXITERS DO to clean up the 💩 they laid.

Since #Brexitsnotdoneitsjustbegun the real test starts now.
Can the Brexiter machine, move on from
blaming everyone for anything while promising everything
=>
Delivering any promises?
When it comes to Mogg, I'm not neutral: Doubtful.

After all, this is the guy who must have had this sort of data⏬ and yet willingly misrepresented it for years.
He turned a huge UK success story into an EU failure.
It's hard to turn that psychology into a diligent concerned bureaucrat.

Of course, he's not the only one.
Mr FARTage and countless others did this sort of cherry-picking all the time.
And people believed them.
But that simply reinforces the problem of NUMBER 3.
What happens now?

The options for our fishermen are easy to assess⏬
Sadly I fear the path is already chosen by leopards who can not now, or ever, change spots

There are lies
There are damned lies
There are statistics
And then the ERG
Beyond those there are lies that take you straight to Hell.
In Brexit, the reality reversal of British Fishing, from massive success to failure under EU was a Hell-Lie.

You're some sort of oddity who hasn't yet caught on and thinks I exaggerate.
Well done you for pushing back!
Actually if anything my response is on the reasonable understated side.
Imagine you believed them initially⏬
