Bank holiday reflections: I’ve worked flat-out on this for 2.5 years. It’s triggered multiple investigations & billion $ fines. But I’m in @guardian bubble. Most of UK still entirely in dark. Took a US media org to do this. What next? How to get it out??

Will British MEPs Be “Difficult”?
The only proper way to respond to @Jacob_Rees_Mogg is, of course, to take the mickey. @JunckerEU not only understood this, but managed to deliver in a deliciously deadpan way. pic.twitter.com/84RWMVHDub

Penny Mordaunt
Penny Mordaunt has been appointed UK Secretary of State for Defence.
A reminder that this is the person who, during the Brexit referendum in 2016,repeatedly lied that Turkey was about to join the European Union. That’s the calibre of person now appointed to high office in the UK. pic.twitter.com/5cBLBCLGn6— John O'Brennan (@JohnOBrennan2) May 1, 2019

Psychological Warfare Coordinated between UKIP & Brexit Party
UKIP & BrexitParty cooperate: UKIP's task is to let BrexitParty & Farage look moderate.

This is a weird story. The case might end without any criminal charges being filed against Carl Benjamin due to lack of evidence. But the UKIP got the desired “outrage” and attention.
2016 Referendum Was Not a Good Idea
I agree with the 55% who think the EU Referendum should never have been held.

Only Silly Voters Would Give Farage a Blank Check

I collect connections between the Brexit and "The Hunting of the Snark". Here we go:
"Then the Banker endorsed a blank cheque (which he crossed),
And changed his loose silver for notes."

Perhaps the Brexit Party is not that silly: They focus on silly voters who cannot handle any agenda with more than one issue. https://t.co/Mq0yjuLlEV

Please, dear Britons, look closer at the assets of your culture. (The EU didn't take it away from you.) Especially, take the Snark more serious. Fetch it home by all means. You may serve it with greens. But if your Snark be a Boojum… pic.twitter.com/6a7BAtmMao

But the principal failing occurred in the sailing,
And the Bellman, perplexed and distressed,
Said he had hoped, at least, when the wind blew due East,
That the ship would not travel due West!https://t.co/0WuHcZgY33 pic.twitter.com/4gnsNkfpmO— Goetz Kluge (@Bonnetmaker) April 21, 2019

Marr
“Waves of migration and globalised culture washed among us, eroding our sense of self… but the self-confidently multi-ethnic, liberal, urban class… barely noticed.”
Not a UKIP broadcast, but the authoritative voice of Andrew Marr. (26/6/16)pic.twitter.com/8YAP05kSYS
