@FenCoul @HettyMoon "The constant motion of totalitarianism Arendt would examine years later - the steady movement toward tyranny - is measured as drips, not as a flood."

This article recalls interviews with 10 men in postwar Germany - "They Thought They were Free"

@FenCoul @HettyMoon Former senior Tories can see it

"English Nationalist"

"Extreme right-wing faction"

"Crazy right-wing nationalist organisation calling themselves a Tory government"

@doctor_oxford @BorisJohnson I'm not a psychologist but its pretty obvious that Johnson is a pathological liar

Here's a thread of his lies

1/x

@doctor_oxford @BorisJohnson Some say "pathological liar" isn't the correct term

But pathological lying is a trait of a psychopath according to Hare's Psychopathy Checklist

2/x

@doctor_oxford @BorisJohnson There's also that "smirk"

Otherwise known as "Dupers Delight" or "Duping Delight" - a classic tell tale of a psychopath, they are either lying or about to lie

Defined by Dr Paul Ekman, one of the worlds leading authorities on micro expressions

Inbound tourism from the EU is already down because of a passport requirements

What shall we do to resolve this?

"MAKE THEM PAY!!!"

#BrexitReality
I've travelled quite a bit, and paying fees to enter a country hasn't put me off because I've wanted to go there. But its usually a one off, and far away.

Charging our neighbours, when we are already losing tourists because of Brexit, is nuts. It will reduce tourism from the EU.
And for the "THEY'VE ALWAYS NEEDED A PASSPORT!" crowd

Pre-Brexit, EU/EEA citizens could use a National ID to visit the UK

Post-Brexit, EU/EEA citizens now need a passport

The British have always needed a passport because we don't have a National ID
