A consolidation of #GlobalBritain and #Brexit (lack of) success stories.

Take back control of roaming charges on holiday

Shutting the British Council (supporting British Business) all over Europe.

#GlobalBritain

Flouting UN Convention on Human Rights. Good old banana republic failed state stuff.

#GlobalBritain

Failing the last surviving #Brexit promises from 2016.

Boston Tea Party here we come, it's legislation through exploitation.

#GlobalBritain

Delivering every trade deal at marginal to worst terms as the EU.

Worst terms includes screwing the farming industry and Paris Climate Change Accords in return for?

The standard #Brexit stuff - nothing at all.

#GlobalBritain

Falling out with the only partner who could actually help with sea border control because they had the temerity to honour maritime law while we dishonour it and our sea faring past

#GlobalBritain

Celebrating zero emission cars whilst immediately rolling back EU Agreements on pumping raw sewage into rivers and seas.

Give up control of turds and used condoms on our beaches.

#GlobalBritain

Big Ben but made in Germany apparently. Whilst promoted as jingoistic #Brexit Success Chimes.

#GlobalBritain

Killing the only part of #brexit that could ever have made sense, an unlikely pre EU and better China Trade Deal ...while giving up all control of business investment.

#GlobalBritain

And of course all of the trade problems were so easy to understand the could be explained by gifs.

#GlobalBritain

Freed from the yoke of EU power agreements and taking back control of climate change, only to do bugger all with it.

But refugees, we have time to screw them over

#GlobalBritain

Goodness knows. Maybe the next #GlobalBritain idea is Lebensraum.

Giving up control of Financial Services.

Of course there's also Hobin Rood as we take back control of regressive tax hikes.

It may soon be easier simply to rebrand the UK as East Ireland just to avoid all the friends we've turned into enemies.

#GlobalBritain

You've seen MASSIVE outcry in the US at deliberate Eepublican interference in elections to disenfranchise voters who vote against them.

Here, Tories are following an IDENTICAL voter suppression plan yet almost no one knows

Let's not end with a whimper. Change this. Tell people
Thinking Oh GOD what now? Yes voter suppression of the worst form is underway by the tories. But the difference with the US is here it's completely unopposed and supressed by our so called 'free press'

Or here electoral-reform.org.uk/uk-governments…
If you're coming up to speed on this ridiculous voter suppression system that the Conservatives are introducing one question you might ask is: why are they introducing the LEAST EFFECTIVE IDsystem yet the MOST EFFECTIVE vote suppression system.

Hmm

Today's thought is, how is this scam possible?

At least one mobile network is profiting from an obvious scam by serving this message.

Others are paid by routing it.

And the message is very easy to detect and prevent.

Once Government is corrupt, everything rots.
To sustain society we must care enough to focus on it

That means planning
Encouraging integrity
Celebrating professionalism

We must recognise people who care enough to focus on details and notice small mistakes.

What if we have people in power who care for none of this?
You get Afghanistan.

Our failure to plan led to the worst betrayal of people relying on us since the second world war.

And the crushing of a British foreign policy reputation already on its knees.

Are you one of those who think it was unpredictable or unprecedented?

Is it now obvious that #Johnson's claims about vaccinations were hot air?

UK is now behind 6 EU countries yet the people who claimed amazing success seem reluctant now to own their failure.

But as I covered below vaccine jingoism already hid a host of Johnson Regime negligence.
Our country has lost all political:
- links with truth
- validity of science
- accountability through media or opposition
- legitimacy of Government

We are an exercise in systematic gaslighting and distracting the electorate to ignore deaths

More will die until they stand trial
But all lands with #Johnson, a "Prime" minister who
- lies by default
- including to Parliament
- never answers questions
- including to Parliament
- dissalows follow up questions when he lies to the media and
- including to Parliament

Someone explain how this isn't tyranny?

Inspired by Karam's work ⬇️on the latest non resident denizens of Tufton St HellMouth, I'm attaching some web back up, and tips on how to spot it.

If you're new to this, U4T are to child and school advocacy as TPAlliance are to taxation fairness.
Deadly and Toxic.
U4T2
Their public claim is some sort of unspecified advocacy of child rights by people who care for children. And that dear friends is about as deep and detailed as it gets.

But you don't need to dig much to ask why they have a political agenda running through their marketing.
U4T3

I won't step into the state vs. private schools debate for fear of the distraction - note they do, without a plan!

But I will say, regardless of your politics, I've never heard anyone on the private school side of the line arguing they're acting in the interest of all kids

Breaking:

Downing street have cancelled the congratulatory meeting between the PM and England football team.

Apparently meeting the team could be "awkward" for the PM and might make him "look bad".

So instead of putting things right, #Johnson is doubling down on hypocrisy?
I'll attempt a recap of #Johnson's "non racist" World View

PREVIOUSLY ACCEPTABLE:
Piccaninnies, watermelon smiles, letterbox thing*
Not supporting England team
Not condemning those using "taking the need" to sow more racism
Making tribalism and division core to your politics
*They were bank robbers according to him too
Obama was part Kenyan - with an "ancestral dislike" of us Brits
Libya was gonna be fine once they got rid of the dead
And of course we'd be fine letting the dead pile up in the streets

I came late to the sanity restoring delights of Chrome word replacement extensions. In case you are similarly deprived, I share these beautiful additions:

A variation on the theme is Kitten Block.
You know those times you’ve found yourself accidentally clicking on a link from one of our various hatemongers?
Kitten Block saves your blushes to send you somewhere much nicer (on the soul).

Please use these and any chrome extensions with caution.
I checked them before tweeting, I believe they are free of malware.
But that’s today. Tomorrow is a new day.
Which is why I also very strongly endorse
