Where did the "Good" pro-Brexit information come from?
(Thread)
?
The man who doesn't believe in experts and exaggerated the effect of the EU on his dad's business for political gain?
theguardian.com/politics/2016/…
The Official @Vote_Leave?
Their Campaign Leader, @DanielJHannan, promised we'd be staying in the Single Market.
?
His entire campaign was a lie. Proof: goo.gl/SLNgEc
The Daily Mail?
They convinced millions of voters that the EU was forcing 100,000s of refugees into the country, despite the fact that the EU is literally incapable of that. Read below:
"I did my own research"?
How much? With which sources? Because the vast majority of those who have spent literally years studying the topic, DIRECTLY from EU Law and Treaties, say that March 2019 would be the start of a disaster. But we don't like experts?
?
Since the referendum, they have become nothing short of alt-right, sexist, racist, and recently transphobic propaganda. See for yourself.
?
Not even going to use the obvious one here. It feels like a cheap shot. It would be like taking health care from a baby.
So we'll just remind you that he supported Turkey joining the EU and that he said this:

We know the EU isn't perfect. Out of our 4 co-founders: Will voted Leave and Femi has literally worked for a group called Alter-EU.
But here's why, on balance, being in the EU is better for you.
You need stuff to be as cheap as possible. Well for the UK as a country, the rest of Europe is our local supermarket. It's cheaper and faster for us to get stuff from there. Being in the EU makes it even cheaper and even faster. So your prices stay low.
You have the right to live in any country you like across the EU. So if there aren't jobs in the UK, you can go work in a hotel in France or an office in Austria. No elitist visa system. As long as you find a job in 3months and register, 31 countries are yours to choose from.

The politicians and political commentators that YOU trust, have told you that all the bad news you hear about Brexit is just #ProjectFear.
Just imagine for a second that when Brexit actually happens, you find out they were wrong. How will history look at you? How will your kids?
Most people on both sides weren't experts in EU law.
Did you get your information directly from EU Treaties and resulting legislation, or did you trust the articles and opinions of others?
Remainers and Leavers just trusted different sources.
However, Brexit voters, if it actually happens and we start to see the full economic and international effects of Brexit, you're going to have to explain, especially to your kids, why you ignored the warnings from actual experts in the field before voting. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Dear Brexiters,
The young people of the United Kingdom have a few words to say about Brexit Britain.
Starting with @Femi_Sorry.
#OFOC
Charlie from Doncaster is one of the 73% of 18-24 year-olds who voted to Remain in the EU.
She represents the adult demographic of the UK that would be most affected by Brexit.
#OFOC @turtle_in_a_fez
The 'Young' includes Brits in their 40s, 52% of whom voted for their country to remain in the EU. These are people who will have to raise their children in a version of the UK that they voted to avoid.

140+ factual, fully-sourced examples of the impact Brexit is already having on the UK. Jobs going, investment drying up, companies moving assets to the EU, or redomiciling. And all happening as Government burns through £billions chasing a no deal Brexit.

Another long "actual consequences of Brexit" thread, to go along with the 100+ I previously highlighted...

The Electoral Commission reports that it cost £129.1 million to stage the 2016 referendum, including £94.5 million spent on administration. 1/33

In December 2018, the Government signed agreements worth £107.7 million with 3 ferry companies to provide extra capacity in event of a no deal Brexit. Turns out Seaborne (£13.8 million deal) had no ferries, or experience in the transport industry! 2/33

Scotland's largest turkey farmer is moving 10% of his business (tens of thousands of birds) to the Continent in preparation for a no-deal Brexit, and because he can no longer be assured of access to seasonal workers. 3/33

1) Why Labour #Brexit Conference policy is flawed

Unfortunately Ben is wrong here, Corbyn is following the agreed policy here because that policy let's him do exactly what he wants on Brexit, not what the members want

The policy is a well crafted stitch up
2) there's 2 consistent themes from Corbyn supporters
a) this is the policy Labour conference overwhelmingly supported
b) Corbyn's following that policy to the letter
Both of these are true, but neither stand up to critical examination if we're being honest
3) in terms of the first "this is the policy conference supported" well, as a remainer its essentially the same as the non meaningful vote May tried to create
May's choice was her deal or no. Deal which, if true, is no deal at all
It was the same with Labour conference policy

1) I heard Corbyn describe no #brexit in Parliament as "a threat", even though it's what Labour membership wants.

I've read him saying "we can't stop it"

I saw him post "as we leave the EU..." the day after 750k marched for a #PeoplesVote

theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
2) I've watched Corbyn reinforce & support Brexit whenever it looked under threat. I've watched him dodge the simple question "will Brexit make us better off?" 5 times.

I've seen him playing the "immigrants taking our jobs" line
3) I've watched all the way back to "we must invoke A50 now" and back further still, to Corbyn's Sky Q&A appearance just before the ref, where he spent more time criticizing the EU than supporting it, the "7 on 10" half hearted comments

1. Never forget the Elephant in the Room..never debated not Consented. #Brexit = Loss of Rights.
If we don't stop the #BrexitShambles we know what follows Tories will Remove them outside the protections we currently have under international treaty...

theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
2. #Brexit is all about deregulation & Removal of Rights & Protections.
The EU doesn't prevent a Govt adding them as a member so why would the Govt wish to leave & repatriate control if not to Remove them?
This has No Consent
#PeoplesVote #Remain option. theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
3. I appear to have a hidden commentator...be grateful, if it's a troll, if #Remainers who can see the comment could give it hell & screenshot it for me so I can block it...😎
