Is that Tweet saying that if Brexit turns out to be a disaster its the fault of people that didn't vote for it?

Its about as logical as me stabbing my wife and then claiming its the fault of the person that made, or even sold me the knife.

That's probably a terrible analogy mind you but I think you get the drift!

It's almost as if "Project Fear" was more "Reasonable warnings of what a catastrophe this is quite likely to be". TBF to the Leave Alliance, they are the (small minority of) moderate Brexiteers who got completely swamped by the extremists led by Johnson/Gove and Farage/Banks, think they have always argued for a much lengthier more managed transition over a decade or so. But they do need to own their own shit.

If I was on Twitter, I'd be encouraging everyone to post that in response to whatever they tweet.  But as I'm not, I can't.

This guy really does fuck me off:

https://www.foxnews.com/media/steve-hilton-trump-2020-election

A true Political Leach.  How he has managed to continue to craft a career is beyond me.  He seems to latch onto whatever new wave idea he thinks is going to have political legs.  Gone from being liked by Libs Dems to full throated support of Populism and Trump.  He did an interview on the latter where he seemed completely non-plussed about the fact it attacks the Elite when he has becomes one.

Former Director of Strategy to 'Call me Dave' and we know how well that turned out, also widely credited with making the Tories hammering in 97 even worse. The inspiration for Stewart Pearson..



He is like a diet Cummings.

Got no interest in going over the machinations of it all again, but you have to strangely admire the sheer front and ingenuity of it all. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-dominic-cummings-hacked-eu-referendum-lloyd-hardy/
