Brexit or not ...

It's really important to understand that it's Tory ideology to see poverty as an essential driver for prosperity.

Don't ask whose prosperity.

Level up:

>>> Tories will never solve poverty <<<

Never.

The perverse FPTP system makes them buy constituencies. How to play FPTP?

1. Enter all constituencies in a database

2. Steal big private data to spy on your voters (like what Arron Banks did with letting Cambridge Analytica use his GoSkippy data to improve their stolen Facebook data)

3. Let algorithms test wich lies work best.

In 2016, shocked by the Leave vote, I decided to try and understand England's democracy.

I was shocked by a couple of things:

1. It's so archaic and complex that no normal living human being can possibly understand even half of it. It's an elitist monster to the very core. 2. The UK has no written constitution, probably because it's so archaic and complex. This means that anything can be changed by the elite. There are no basic rights that need a supermajority.

Tories today are in power and the UK's feeble democracy was the first of the high standing Western systems to die.

There is no longer an informed electorate.

The digital political advertising industry controls their behaviour.

Big money owns the best mass mood manipulators. Here's how it works:

1. Collect big data about the people and their behaviour

2. Put your computers at work

3. Ditch your principles about decency

4. Do what your computers tell you works best.

You will be surprised how well the predictions work.

My apology to the 14m Tory voters

Sorry, that I've failed to reach you. I've twittered like hell since June '16 to warn you about the effect of subtle lies planted on you computer and smartphone screens, hoping Twitter would be a good platform for my message.

Sorry, I was wrong Sorry, 14m Tory voters, that the songs I wrote to transfer my message lightly weren't funny enough to reach you.

Sorry that I couldn't prevent you from becoming turkeys voting for Christmas.

Sorry for declaring you 'not my friends'. It's extremely likely we could be friends.

Call me an Erinphile, not a Europhile, but if anything made me act like a Europhile, it was Brexit.

#Brexit is a global fascist-led crime. After all that's been revealed, you must be blind not to see it.

Stolen private data to microtarget profiled groups with customized lies. This was #ProjectTreason well orchestrated by global billionaires. A handful of super rich people that connect through tax havens, hedge funds and think tanks. They have nothing in mind for the UK, so any trace of patriotism is fake. They are tax dodgers & kleptocrats.

Fact: lies were spread shamelessly and left unchallenged on the BBC
Fact: any #Brexit now will be undemocratic
