This isn't just a remainer thing BTW. If I was a leaver and I read that tweet I'd be PRETTY worried and pissed off TBH
These are our so-called "betters" who are in charge. They were told. They were told THREE YEARS ago that this could happen. The sheer arrogance as they dismissed this with a flick of the hand as one might a fly: "#ProjectFear", they sneered
"These doom-sayers are trying to sabotage our glorious future", they claimed. "Our forefathers fought on the beaches" they cried. How that relates to the EU was rather vague buy hey don't let facts get in the way of a good story.
No, apparently Unicorns DO exist as long as you believe in them. As long as enough people believe. A clever tactic - because should they fail in their #BrexiQuest - they can just blame it on people not BELIEVING enough - I mean how can anyone prove otherwise?
Our representatives have failed us. BIG TIME. There never should have been a ref. Appeasing fascists ain't a good idea. Just ask ol' Nev Chamberlain. They've now been normalised to the point that Nigel "sing-a-long-Nazi" Farage can pose with WW2 vets with a straight face
They have let us all down by not questioning the reckless notion of huge constitutional changes based on the slimmest of majorities. They have let us down by not challenging it's validity - as it was A NON-BINDING REFERENDUM.
They have let us down by not demanding further research and debate before agreeing to trigger A50. They have let us down by not challenging the lies about the impact reports.
They have let us down by not demanding an investigation into the evidence that there was an assault on our democracy facilitated by Banks, Farage and Wigmore.
But most of all they've let us down by not listening to us. We no longer want #brexit, indicated by recent polls and thousands of #RemainerNow's
They just don't want to listen. They hide behind the mantra "Will of the people" but the will has changed. Why are they afraid of asking us again? Now we know of the tampering, the lies, the loss of jobs - why can't we decide for ourselves?
Clearly we can no longer count on our representatives to represent us. I don't know whether it's corruption, the Westminster bubble, English exceptionalism or sheer stupidity but the fact that they have voted away their own voice and sovereignty is actually mind blowing.
Clearly we need to be LOUDER. We need to make more noise.
So @theresa_may thinks the EU should respect the UK? Why? Why should they respect a country that is implementing a non-binding referendum won through Russian meddling, breaking the law and lies?
Why should they respect a country that triggered A50 without a plan?
Why should they respect a country whose government are being held hostage by the ERG?
Ahead of the #SwedenElection it looks as if Sverigedemokraterna may be climbing up from the 3rd to the 2nd biggest party. First of all the good news: cirka 75-80% of Swedes do NOT support them. This fact seems to be getting lost in the hype.
First of all let's not beat around the bush. They have neo-nazi roots and their policies support a nationalistic, racist agenda. They dress it up in fancy words and they wear fancy suits but do not be fooled.
The party have branded themselves as a one that listens to people's concerns - who look after the little people. So let's take a look at that, shall we?
Morning all! Time for my daily #brexit realisation:
"#Brexit only makes sense when you realise that these people really, REALLY just don't care."
They don't care if the NHS fails. They have private healthcare
They don't care about EU citizens - bargaining chips - they'll just get cheaper labour in to clean their privvies, build houses and work in the NHS. (Don't forget #Windrush)
It's #MayDay everyone... also known As #InternationalWorkersDay and as we edge closer to #Brexit day this has got me thinking about workers rights and how they may fare in the coming #NoJobsBrexit scenario
In particular I'm thinking of women and their rights. Women tend to be the group who suffer most in times of tribulation and #Brexit will be no different.
I'm thinking about the brave women who fought so hard for equal pay and conditions and what they must think of the fact that we are heading towards a situation where these hard won rights will be sacrificed on the altar of trade deals and #Brexit
Hearing a lot of angry retorts saying "#Windrush has NOTHING to do with #Brexit" and "Its the EU that's racist prioritising other EU citizens over others"
Well... #Windrush was happening before #Brexit, that IS true. However, it is part of the same xenophobic rhetoric that our heartless Tory government has been pursuing...
So they are absolutely linked, on a macro level as to the type of policies shaping our country today. The hostile environment is thriving because of the enablers of #Windrush and #Brexit
To those who believe we should roll over and "accept" the ref/vote... Do you know how democracy works? #ABTV#FBPE#BrexitIsPersonal
It's a PROCESS. Not an end product. You don't do it just the once. Remainers/leavers who insist we should respect the vote are either not aware of the threat democracy is currently under or they don't understand the concept of democracy.
"You don't get to keep voting until you get what you want". Well actually that IS kinda the point. You want your vote to count. And you want your values and policies to be realised.
