1/3 You ask What is wrong with folks?
I would suggest:
for decades there has been a capitalistic move to atomise us/to divide us into single units, loyal to 'the firm' rather than to family, friends, each other, with whom they nudge us into competition, rather than
2/3 collaboration. (My toys/underwear/house/TV set is better/bigger/more expensive/trendier, than yours; ergo I am a far better/more successful person than you.)
As lone individuals we are easier pickings for their profits.
This is why we find it hard to collaborate, to
3/3 listen to each other, to give some way to each other, to group in solidarity with common purpose. We have become centred on our lonely SELVES.
Fight it, or become a mindless, lonely SERF
4/3 lol.
And even when we THINK we join together in solidarity, still there is a jostling for prestige, for position, to be THE ONE who is heard.

@AsBrexit@RealBristolBoy 1/3 maybe 4
That is up to each local group. All I am doing is trying to link folk up with each other locally.
However, my advice is:
1.give folk space to autonomously switch sides leave/remain and avoid these labels 2. Always use the words 'we/us/our'; NOT the
@AsBrexit@RealBristolBoy 2/3 maybe 4
words 'you/your(s)'. We seek to unite, not divide. 3. Use simple, short, hard-hitting slogans on matters the general public care about 4. If you use music to attract, make it catchy 5. Defend yourselves natch, but do not be aggressive.
We are the sane and
@AsBrexit@RealBristolBoy 3/3 maybe 4
calm, reasonable ones (?lol) not the hysterical 6. Avoid groups of over 30; you could split larger numbers into 2 separate groups in diff parts of the locality. Folk get upset/anxious about huge protests and avoid. 7. Do not block roads, or not for long if
cont.
1/3 I do wish some TV interviewer would ask the following questions re social care for the elderly:
You have now capped the amount a person should spend before further costs become free.
Can we assume a bed is included in their capped expenditure?
2/3 And will the bed be in a room, also included in the capped expenditure?
If not, how will you provide nursing care without either bed or room for the bed?
Also, can they bring sleeping bag and a tent and erect it on the lawn free of charge?
3/3 Can we also assume food will be provided, and included in the capped expenditure?
If not can family send in sandwiches?
SILENT DEMOS
1/11 Possible large swathes of the population have no idea/interest in what this govt is up to? Could groups of us (say 10) protest regularly with banners/placards stating Referendum lies/consequences of Brexit? These protests could be stationary,& even maybe silent.
2/11 20 = 2 groups/2 protests @ different times but REGULARLY + different placards? URGENT NEED TO GET INFO into the public consciousness, and maybe garner support for more similar protests? If XR can do it, so can we, but without the glue. Aim is to inform/encourage resistance.
3/11 The more groups of 10 stand silent with SIMPLE punchline worded placards re brexit consequences, the lies, demands to rejoin the SM and CU. the more others will take courage/the truth from your actions. It COULD spread??
1/2 Cummings is obsessed by his own 'clever' 'original'perceptions, possibly over-encouraged/indulged as a youngster by doting parents.
BUT he lacks stamina in dealing with objections, or thinking his ideas through. Reading his meagre writings, he wanders all over the place,
2a/2
leaping from one train of thought to another, and leaving hanging the original thought. None of the ideas are followed through by any clear thinking or consideration of possible faults in the ideas. Obsessive. Any challenge is swiped to one side. The 'thin'
2b/2
idea is paramount. No necessary detail.
Have met a fair few such.
Most were under 20!
(Mirror today 30th):
The Batley & Spen by-election has become so unpleasant that Labour’s Kim Leadbeater now requires a police escort.
No candidate should find themselves in this position, least of all the sister of murdered MP Jo Cox.
This should be a moment of nation
soul-searching.
It should also be a moment of national condemnation from all the main party leaders, a condemnation which, with the exception of Keir Starmer, has been depressingly absent.
We know the primary reason why the by-election has become so acrimonious –
the intervention of George Galloway whose modus operandi could be described as the opposite of Jo Cox's notion we have more in Common than that which divides us.
Galloway's strategy depends in a large part on exploiting rather than healing divisions.
