As we approach 2022 it makes me think of one particular thing, the London Olympics in 2012. When one looks back it seems now it was the last remains of the fading light from a country that existed before this government came to power. 1/
Away from the politics for a moment, this country was a different country… a more unified country in a time before brexit even existed. Think about that, think about how devoid the national ether was of political stench and hate mongering. 2/
It was it can be argued socially more advanced, again more down to the longer term general advancement and enlightenment then politics, which came to an abrupt end when this government arrived. They hated it. 3/
And so now we look back and can say society was more advanced only because this government has done its best to move society backwards, with the hope of regressing back to the Victorian age. They love the “Victorians”. 4/
As we watched 2012 London Olympics, a beautiful Games, could we have imagined that the country 10 years later would be the bigoted hate filled shambles it now is? 5/
Quite simply, this government since its arrival has set about wrecking the social fabric of the country, ripping it apart along any lines it could find, and using whatever tactics needed to achieve that goal. 6/
I feel sorry for the country, to think all it had achieved, the progress it had made only for it to be undone by a bunch of leading lights from the stupid ignorant brigade. 7/
My hope for 2022 is that it marks the beginning of the rebuilding of the nation, a nation with pride, a nation with hope. However one thing is for sure, we have to do it, because this government absolutely will not. 8/
So let’s try and do that in 2022, because building bridges of hope will be the key to a better future for us all and will also oust this toxic and corrosive government. #FBPE #ToriesOutNow

Dear friends, I have been thinking about the words of @OxfordDiplomat, inspirational as always, about the need for Starmer to find better words to talk about post brexit, and for me, there is a word and it is “Rebuild”. 1/ #FBPE
We need to rebuild our society. It has been ripped apart by this government from the day they arrived. When they got in power they saw a massive opportunity, given to them by the banker created economic crash, to dismantle the country, behind the masquerade of “austerity”. 2/
“Austerity” was never about saving the country. It was never about economic recovery. It was about them destroying what we had all worked for, a progressive economically successful country and creating the Victorian version they wanted. 3/

How can we put this? Let’s just say that when you have an economic trading framework then trade operates in accordance with that framework. What that means is that a massive complex trading ecosystem has evolved over 40 years we have been part of the European trading union. 1/
40 years is a long time so a massive number over arching agreements have been put in place with an even bigger number of business contracts under that layer, all designed to help people trade with each other easily and on a common basis, hence common market. 2/
This structure has benefitted everyone involved. That’s why they did it in the first place. In fact that’s why trade agreements exist, to facilitate TRADE…. It’s not rocket science 3/

Dear friends, I know that many will have shared their experience of this thing however I wanted to say a few words about my experience that perhaps you can relate to. Everyone is different but this is my experience. 1. #FBPE #GetHealthy
Firstly do not do not underestimate this thing. It is unlike anything I have experienced. It is a cunning opponent and a bastard. About half way it seems I was over it & was more active. It was a mistake & that night I felt it. 2.
Rugby players being the tough old boots they are will often get up when injured, especially the hardy Scots. However there will be times where team mates will say "stay down". It is the same with this. Stay down until it is 100% gone. 3/

A few words of Amazon & their CEO "donating" to climate change. Let's be clear on this, when Amazon don't pay tax they are defunding the state, defunding society. Society is in fact subsidizing them. So when they "donate" money to a cause it is in part out money. #FBPE
And it is our money that is being directed by a CEO of a big US corporation. Why is this significant? Because in a functioning democracy we as a society decide how our tax money is directed by electing governments that decide on spending. 2/
So normally.. society decides through the democratic process how it cares for and supports society, for example, providing welfare, supporting culture, sport, building roads etc. However we are moving to a malfunctioning democracy whereby business decides. 3/

The mission of the AltRight has always been to radicalize the country to their way of thinking. It has been a plague in this land for years. Brexit part of the attack, an event to create a societal civil war. And now we see the consequences of that radicalization. #FBPE 1/
Think about their tactics, their use of inflammatory propaganda, the lies, the imagery to create an enemy, the racism, xenophobia, the anti-Muslim rhetoric of LeaveEU and other Leave campaign fronts. It has been said already but the Nazi parallels and methodology are clear. 2/
Then let's think about the protagonists & preachers, Baker, McVey, Patel to name just a few. Looking at their rantings over the years they could easily have come from religious fundamentalist any where in the world. These are ideological preachers... hate preachers. 3/

This government is made up of religious fantasists who worship capitalism. They are ultra capitalists who care about profit and not people. This ideology will make most people poorer in real terms & the very few very wealthy at the world's expense. #FBPE 1/
When a fanatic government believes in this ideology they do not care of the consequences. The consequences are this. Society gets poorer, the state is defunded, society degrades and we see a rise in societal ills, for example crime or violence. It is inevitable. 2/
It is therefore no surprise that we see a predictable headline on the cover of the right wing comic the evening standard screaming about record levels of knife crime. No shit. That will happen. Financial oppression fuels it. It also fuels nationalism, as we know. 3/
