Now you can go back to Newton

"Bernard of Chartres used to compare us to dwarfs perched on the shoulders of giants. He pointed out that we see more and farther than our predecessors, not because we have keener vision or greater height, but because we are lifted up and borne aloft on their gigantic stature."
I want to go to a more contemporary discussion on giants

Or is it discussed here the icon

I am going to lift out several segments

First
And my second segment:
The third segment

Is actually a sneaky one that Maya Angelou asked Dave Chapelle

MA: What happens to you when you get a bigger laugh or a laugh when you didn't expect one? Or a bigger one than you expected? What happens on that occasion?
In an age

Sadly

Where a global financial crash

Has been capitalised on by cheats, liars and racist nativists

Change one word there

From a laugh to a lie

What happens when your lie gets a bigger reaction than expected?

Here is Jacob Rees Mogg challenged on a lie
Just imagine

How blessed it would be

If we did have a brexit dividend on that scale

Why

You wouldn't have to lie about food prices going down

With an article *SO BAD* even the Scum pulled back from it

And a reminder how economists were attacked & traduced

Here's a reminder

Of just how low Jacob and others stoop to continue their con

As they wrap themselves in the union flag

Ask them

How they were prepared to lie to the Queen and unlawfully prorogue Parliament
If you are prepared to exploit a global pandemic

What will you NOT do?
Here is a thread

That touches on many of the salespeople for brexit

And at the end I wrap up with a thread on a simple question

How did you win
What did you win
How do we move on

3 simple questions

"UK's official contract is actually dated August 28, one day after the EU's contract."

A reminder
"British officials had earlier declined to provide the contract to CNN, making no mention of the redacted version, and have repeatedly refused to give details on the country's vaccine supplies, citing "security reasons."

#StandingOnTheShouldersOfGiants

A small thread

On giants

So so many giants

God bless open global Britain and all who sail on her as she buccaneers her way on the seas raising her eyes to the horizon

I am going to write a thread now

Where I agree with the @ScotTories

"The domain name ‘postalvote.scot’ redirecting to the SNP’s own website has been criticised by the Scottish Conservatives as an attempt to “dupe voters”"

scotsman.com/news/politics/…
Now

First of all

Let's be clear on what the SNP did

They registered a domain

postalvote.scot

To provide a route into people to register for a postal vote

No data is retained by the SNP

I was looking forward to doing a thread on a once in a generation referendum

And on Dominic Raab vs Sajid Javid vs Jacob Rees Mogg

But no

Steve Baker has to pop up with this utter undiluted bullshit and jump the line or is that queue

The transcript

Let's take this line by line.
"Today I'm saying we need a new public health act to force the government to prove the proportionality of the measures that it leaves in place."

Now I agree with the latter half

I disagree with the start

It took the culmination of 40 years of lies, cheating, nativism, racism & xenophobia

To “win”

And having won

The next 40 years

Will be the sad state of those who sold the shitshow desperately not moving on because they *have* to further denigrate the EU
A reminder the Daily Telegraph back on 1st January 2016
A reminder

On brexit and one of its many failures
