1/ Welcome to Wednesday in the independent republic of Brexitlandia (your correspondent is starting early) 😴😴😴
2/ Despite the UK Government behaving like a bunch of arses, the EU offered a public opportunity for the U.K. to change its mind and stay in the EU 🙏🙏🙏
3/ The offer was sincere and the EU wisely used the words of Cretinus Maximus @DavidDavisMP as indicative of how it may be possible 👊
4/ After all, the phase 1 deal is to be locked down in a legally binding agreement which locks the UK into following SM & CM rules with no representation as a fallback & UK GOV will look silly if in taking back control it turns out it has no control 🦁=🐭
5/ But it seems the UK is fast losing control as it will now ask the EU if it can stay in the EU trade arrangements during the transition. So in leaving what we really want is to stay for as long as possible 🤔buzzfeed.com/albertonardell…?amp=1
6/ This seems sensible with 759 agreements to sort out and when hampered by the fact all Global Liam Fox wants to do is collect air miles ✈️amp.ft.com/content/f1435a…
7/ Who could have predicted all this? Well not the Government BECAUSE THEY DID NO FUCKING PLANNING
8/ When faced with such concerns the natural response of some MPs is to tackle the problems with renewed vigour 😴😴😴
9/ Some may wonder if legally we can reverse the article 50 notice. Well it turns out the Government has spent your money getting advice about your future options but won't tell you 😱😱😱amp.theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
10/ You know just in case you change your mind and think maybe countries cannot solve all problems by themselves 🌍theguardian.com/environment/20…
11/ or in case it turns out that the investigations into Vote Leave spending broke the rules 😳
12/ But what out the Remain side? They were just as bad on spending? Er, well, no
13/ So what happens if you think Brexit is bad? Ah, then you will be threatened ⚰️⚰️⚰️
14/ Threats in a democracy? By who? Ah well some MPs who are part of the European Research Grouo who use their expenses to fund the group 💷💷💷telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/…
15/ That does not seem very democratic...opendemocracy.net/uk/brexitinc/j…
16/ Well the Government does not care about that. Oh, what else don't they care about?
17/ Human rights, it would seem ⚖️⚖️⚖️
18/ Mainly because they want to stop the unemployed from breeding 🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰politicshome.com/news/uk/politi…
19/ but the funny thing is the ECHR is legally separate from the EU ukandeu.ac.uk/fact-figures/w…
20/ So while the vote was to leave the EU it was not a vote about leaving the ECHR 😳
21/ So that is just a naked attempt to water down rights with no democratic mandate? That is to say it is NOT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE 🤐🤐🤐
22/ So the Government are aiming to bin the right to life and privacy, and the prohibitions on servitude, torture and a fair trial on the basis NOBODY VOTED FOR THAT? 😡😡😡
23/ Yup. They also want to bin the right to marry and have a family and the prohibition on discrimination. 😤😤😤
24/ The rationale is that all those rights are "flabby" according to the No Deal Brexit Minister aka the Minister of Doom namely @SuellaFernandes 🤔google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theg…
25/ So what rights will we have if the Government takes these rights away. Well you will have the right not to have children if you have no job & the right not to complain because even though no one voted for this apparently it is in fact the will of the people 🤐
26/ But did not you have a tweet in this thread about democracy meaning you can change your mind? You know a quote by the Brexit minister himself?
27/ Oh do shut up ❄️- there are rotting cherries to be picked 🍒🍒🍒#Brexitopportunity
28/ And while one mulls that over, news comes in that we will be loaned the Bayeux Tapestry
29/ You know the one celebrating the invasion and conquering of England 👑. I guess it helps to keep perspective that things could always be worse 😳
