"Once they saw a Conservative Government in power they and all Young Conservatives up and down the country would be able to say with Keats. “Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, but to be young was very heaven.”"

Beware the "baying mob"
Beware the "revisionist purge"
There must always be a culture war
There is a statue that needs protection from a "baying mob"

Every statue will be given greater protection from "baying mobs" and road names could be saved from the "revisionist purge" of Labour councils, under law changes to be published on Mondayhttps://t.co/hMVElO2qHq

“Britain does not renounce Treaties.
Indeed, to do so would damage our own integrity as well as international relations.“
Anyone remember "in a very specific and limited way"
Or lying to Queen to unlawfully prorogue

What are you prepared to sacrifice for brexit ?
Boris Johnson and his historic wordshttps://t.co/nFkevENjqB
Drug policy is a complex area
It falls across social, health and criminal justice areas
I will leave the question of what Scotland is capable of in terms of devolved powers and what is reserved at Westminster
I just want to focus on "SNP cuts"
These statistics are dreadful and heartbreaking. Every death is a tragic loss of life that could have been avoided.

Drug deaths have doubled in a decade, and there's no doubt that the SNP's cuts to drug rehab and addiction programmes have a large part to play. https://t.co/MkmCFRAvir
This is good news
The securing of British jobs
Is good news
Though to secure them
It admits two things
1. They were under threat
2. Something was done to address that
This is a great vote of confidence in the UK and fantastic news for the brilliant @Nissan workforce in Sunderland and electric vehicle manufacturing in this country.https://t.co/W6nN1ki3Lq

If everyone was holding bitcoin on the old x86 in their parents basement, we would be finding a price bottom. The problem is the risk is all pooled at a few brokerages and a network of rotten exchanges with counter party risk that makes AIG circa 2008 look like a good credit.

The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.
This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.
The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."
This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
