My logic was while those wishing to remain would be most disappointed, they would also be most prepared.
#BrexitDeal would hurt its supporters.

When Jacob Rees Mogg threw dead fish into the Thames at WETminster, I thought, like most of you, he was making a point on behalf of the Fishing INDUSTRY.
It was only yesterday that we all learned he was acting on behalf of the FISH.
Fish happiness, not Brexit, was the goal!

Starting ☝️
1. Famously the economic consequences would hurt Leave voters the most (albeit no one expected the madness of combining #Brexit with #Covid19)
2. Sovereignty and independence would be reversed; we'd end up with less of both (as we have).
Number 3?
Also a dilemma. It would have needed remainers to be listened to. Or leavers to question #Brexit.
3. What happens: A small leave group realise the con; disagree with Leave Mainstream?
Mogg boasts of having fish back while:
* The fishing industry is in arms; screaming betrayal
* Some fisheries are already bankrupting
* Because fish we can't sell is rotting
Yet Jake's happy the fish are happy.
Almost as if ☝️ he had nothing to do with this
I could be accused of believing it was just this sort of moment he was concerned about when he used to represent the now bankrupting⏬

But anticipating #Brexit flaws is easy as catching blind sloths.
The new game is WHAT BREXITERS DO to clean up the 💩 they laid.
But wait says Jacob Rees Mogg we can find new markets for beef, like Australia.

Yes but the EU is 82% of your market and 90% of your transport, it's many many years to reduce that below 50%, until it goes to zero you're still maintaining same EU transport provisions as a Vassal
Can the Brexiter machine, move on from
blaming everyone for anything while promising everything
=>
Delivering any promises?
When it comes to Mogg, I'm not neutral: Doubtful.

I mean think about the poor Mogster. He's having a \U0001f4a9 time of it. From toff clone to gaffe prone without even blinking.

People finally began to forget he voted against Landlords being required to make properties fire safe.
**Boom** that accidental slip of the Grenfell tongue.
He turned a huge UK success story into an EU failure.
It's hard to turn that psychology into a diligent concerned bureaucrat.

there's anger in Leave about fish, and whether the 25% is correct.

For me this is one cognitive dissonance too far to understand.
To attempt that calculation you need to know this\u23ec
And once you know that, every other leave story on fish is shown to be a lie.
~confused~ https://t.co/L89Vz8Q7QQ
Mr FARTage and countless others did this sort of cherry-picking all the time.
And people believed them.
But that simply reinforces the problem of NUMBER 3.
What happens now?

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.
In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.
In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.
This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.
In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?
