1/ Welcome to Thursday in the independent republic of Brexitlandia
2/ Yesterday Parliament debated lowering the voting age to 16. Government rejected this because 16 year olds don't have enough maturity and responsibility 😂😂😂
3/ This position was adopted on the same day the Maybot reprimanded a minister for suggesting Brexit policy should be evidence, not dogma, led independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
4/ Even though the Maybot approved of the most recent economic work being done thesun.co.uk/news/5471805/t…
5/ Even though the economic work shows that even we get trade deals with non-EU countries the gains will not be offset by the losses arising from leaving the EU 👊👊👊amp.ft.com/content/c8a293…
6/ Even though the work shows that cutting the numbers of EU27 coming to the UK will harm the economy and it be offset by a US trade deal buzzfeed.com/amphtml/albert…
7/ Here is a summary of the DEXEU modelled outcomes
8/ Even Global Liam Fox recognises being in the EU does not stop UK business trading abroad theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
9/ Indeed business done in the U.K. based on the current trading regime is at risk of being moved away. Some may speculate that is not the sort of export Global Liam Fox has in mind bloomberg.com/amp/news/artic…
10/ Also given (to the surprise of no one who has not had a Brexit lobotomy) leaving the EU will also result in the loss of jobs in the financial sector which generates most taxes for the UK, the evidence shows the GOV's current path will be bad for the UK
11/ Naturally the Maybotwas mature and responsible in clamping down in suggestions Brexit policy should evidence led. Other MPs also showed their maturity and responsibility
12/ Those close to the Maybot were quite direct about how to respond to evidence led decision making with mature and responsible comments
13/ Some may be surprised by these reactions given these reports which the Maybot was aware of were being used to brief ministers
14/No doubt they are all just annoyed that information showing Brexit harmful cannot be kept hidden. After all people knew what they were voting for and when they get what they voted for they should be grateful 🦄🦄🦄
15/ After all if the "facts" change the people do not get to change their minds. Only Brexit ministers like Cretinus Maximus @DavidDavisMP can do that 🙄🤤😳
16/ Except the Maybot of course. The Maybot will fight to the bitter end. For example any suggestion that pesky foreigners can come to the UK is a Maybot redline 🤔bbc.com/news/amp/uk-po…
17/ Which is odd given that her own economic work shows the cost of cutting immigration, that non-EU countries want immigration rules relaxed as part of trade deals, that EU law will apply in full in the transition period and
18/ and UK needs the EU's help in trying to get the UK to be able to benefit from the EU's global trading arrangements during the transition.
19/ Some may think the Maybot is missing the big picture but that is easy to do when you fundamentally hate foreigners. 😡
20/ Luckily the EU is ready to take a mature and responsible position if the Government decides to take its head out of its bottom 🙏🙏🙏
21/ But until then one can expect more attacks on the heretics practising their witchcraft of evidence based decision making. 👻👻👻
22/ It would be of no surprise if the Maybot brought back the ducking stool for such "people".
23/ But those who publicly lie about the existence of impact assessments, send out wrongful deportation letters, or use loose talk that could lead to more jail time for a citizen will be exempt from any criticism 🤔
24/ That is of course the mature and responsible position to take and clearly shows why 16 year olds are the ones who cannot be trusted to help shape their own future 🤐🤐🤐
