1/ We need to talk about @petenorth303.

2/ Pete is a puzzle. A brexiter who, to his credit, has been facing harsh brexit facts and publicising them. E.g.

3/ People, normal people, have been asking, horrified, “so why aren’t you against it”?

6/ I felt pretty disgusted with that. But then @CityLiveryConsulting dug up North’s deleted tweet:

7/ I realised then what @petenorth303’s “but I still want brexit because we’re spoiled” reminds me of. He sounds a high school shooter.

8/ It’s not his social deficit, it’s his lack of empathy. Coupled with the lack of insight into his own condition.

9/ But isn’t this - #brexit, Trump, all about people who lack empathy? Isn’t that the divide?

10/ Rees-Mogg is educated but to him, like Harry Lime in The Third Man, we’re like ants and it doesn’t matter if some of us are rubbed out.

11/ Some fear it is more than lack of empathy. I know of psychologists who consider that lead #brexiters display clear signs of psychopathy.

12/ The lead #brexiters look like psychopaths to me. They are deliberate and calculated liars, glib, plausible and manipulative psychopaths.

13/ @Petenorth303 isn’t that. But he is a high school shooter.
