WHAT'S MOST SUSPICIOUS ABOUT BREXIT? A tough competition... but here's my initial list... the two LEAVE CAMPAIGNS (see £££s from RUSSIAN DONORS + ISLE OF MAN), everything to do with VOTE LEAVE, everything to do with LEAVE EU, everything to do with CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA / SCL...

... The way so many leading REMAINERS have since become LEAVERS or accepted PEERAGES (see the HOUSE OF LORDS, RUSSIA REPORT), the way David CAMERON quit, the way Nick CLEGG went from leading the LIB DEMS to working for FACEBOOK (WTF???), George OSBORNE working for Evgeny LEBEDEV.
... the lack of criticism of BREXIT on the BBC (see manipulation by omission, PROPAGANDA, DISINFORMATION and MISINFORMATION), the lack of EXPERTS on the BBC, the super-abundance of Nigel FARAGE on the BBC (see QUESTION TIME)...
... the daily PROPAGANDA from our TABLOID PRESS and traditionally BROADSHEET NEWSPAPER... the mainstreaming of DUMBING DOWN across all media and formats...
... setting up of short-lived but potentially important CROSS-PARTY COALITIONS...
... the role of dozens of THINK TANKS to push different aspects of the BREXIT UNDECLARED AGENDA (see DEREGULATION, ANTI-TAX, ANTI-CLIMATE SCIENCE, ANTI-ABORTION, ANTI-GOVERNMENT, ANTI-TARIFFS)... see TUFTON STREET...
... the unlawful PROROGATION (SUSPENSION) OF PARLIAMENT at the suggestion of Jacob REES MOGG (see EUROPEAN RESEARCH GROUP / ERG) by QUEEN ELIZABETH II...
... the existence of the EUROPEAN RESEARCH GROUP / ERG and everything about it. Its members, it's lobbying, its letters, its (state) funding, its party-within-a-party activities, its extreme ANTI-EU AGENDA + its leadership during BREXIT including Jacob REES MOGG and Steve BAKER..
... the behaviour of the LABOUR PARTY... including the nomination and selection of Jeremy CORBYN, the role of Seumas MILNE, the use of CONSTRUCTIVE AMBIGUITY (see DECEPTION) in relation to BREXIT, the years of ineffective, half-hearted or rare OPPOSITION (see SIR Keir STARMER)...
... the behaviour of the LIB DEMS, starting off with Nick CLEGG agreeing to a BREXIT REFERENDUM, campaigning for REMAIN and then going to work for FACEBOOK (WTF???), the selection of Jo SWINSON as a leader who thought she could be PM + agreed to a GENERAL ELECTION in 2019...
... the way Jo SWINSON refused to work with the SNP and LABOUR or form a REMAIN ALLIANCE... and gifted THE CONSERVATIVES an 80 seat majority...
... the removal of the CONSERVATIVE MPs who had resisted a NO DEAL BREXIT...
... the way Keir STARMER agreed to the BREXIT DEAL (approx 2000 pages long) straight after it had been finalised (25 DEC 2020), without having a chance to read it carefully and whipped the LABOUR MPs to vote for it (30 DEC 2020)..
... the way all of the major ENGLISH political parties seem to have COLLUDED to deliver a HARD BREXIT without even reading, fully understanding, debating or scrutinising the final BREXIT DEAL...
... if there isn't a scandal bigger than the GUNPOWDER PLOT, the CAMBRIDGE FIVE, the PROFUMO SCANDAL, the EXPENSES SCANDAL, the CASH for QUESTIONS, ACCESS and VOTES SCANDALS, OPERATION CAR WASH (BRAZIL) and WATERGATE, combined, sitting under BREXIT I will be absolutely amazed...
P.S. this thread could easily be 100+ tweets long...

More from Brexit

A not-so-little thread on how post-Brexit work permit regulations will apply in Scottish football and why it’s, broadly, not a good thing...

1) Work permit calculations are based on the points formula from this site -

As things stand, while this article deals with England, the system applies to Scotland also.

The goal is 15 points and the article shows various ways to get there. Essentially, play regularly internationally or in a top 5 league and you’re in. But read the article because it’s a bit trickier than that.

2) There are elements of this I’d dispute. For example, here’s the banding of leagues and, lower down, it’s an absolute mess - Denmark (ranked 14 in coefficient table) and Serbia (16) banded lower than Croatia (20), Greece (18) and Czechs (19)? It’s wholly random.


I get the point that leagues should be banded, but there doesn’t seem to have been loads of sense applied to how these things are actually banded, rather they’ve just shoved a bunch of leagues together and hoped for the best.
