2016, la banca chiude, il credito viene venduto a un'azienda del complesso militare russo. I nazionalisti francesi si trovano ad essere debitori di un fornitore dell'aviazione russa, in cui lavorano personaggi molto vicini ai servizi segreti.

The Gurkhas played an essential role in establishing the British Raj in India and fought for the British in Afghanistan, what was then Burma, Tibet and in countless other conflicts.

Iām not a bad loser, anymore than #Farage was. The vote markedby the 52% was never coherent. #Brexit was never defined. Most Brexiteers in 2015 espoused retained membership of EEA/Customs Union, Single Market. They couldnāt all be lying. But post 2016 strife polarised positions.
You can do anything for a day. Many days accumulated may lead to a reversal, who knows? Now, however, to the immediate future. Despite the rhetoric of Britainās future, so much of #Brexit dwelt on our imperial past.
In a very real sense, it will represent an important lesson. We will soon learn that obsession with a mythical past will bring no succour for the present. If analysts are correct, our keen advantages in financial services have been slashed by this deal.

Brave #Kent Free Forces fought off numerous attacks by Tories in the N & W under General Johnson near Chatham and counter-attacked in the SW toward Farage Battalion in Sussex. Johnson's allies attacked by sea, have been repulsed with heavy casualties.

#Farage forces in Sussex were scattered by the counter-attack mainly from his own units firing on allies or shooting themselves in the foot.

If there truly is an ''INVASION !!'' of boats ''SEVERAL TIMES A DAY !!" then why would #Farage need to create a mini compilation of bits 'n' pieces of other vids - possibly from other countries, other years - to post ?

#AntiVax Conspiracy Hoaxer Jim Corr @Jimcorrsays - he of the Corrs @TheCorrsMUsic - is defending a #Fascist Rally in #Dublin (one which is being hosted under the false guide of something to do with paedophilia, as usual). And attacking those who try to counter it.
@Jimcorrsays @TheCorrsMUsic He routinely posts hoaxes about Vaccines, #Covid19, Anti-Mask, persecution of the Irish by immigrants, Mossad, and #LGBT.
Perhaps at this point 'Jim' would like the opportunity to clarify his views.

A vote for the #Tories in this election is a surrender vote, a vote to stay under #EU control. #Johnsonās insistence on pushing his #FakeBrexit shows he has no intention of delivering independence. He wonāt even try. The #BrexitParty is the only vote if we want #Brexit delivered.
#Johnson has broken trust with the people. He could have been a national hero, but has stayed loyal to his own tribe. Heās hoping weāre so worn out by 3 years of lies and obstruction weāll settle for anything. His #FakeBrexit is an establishment trap to keep us under #EU control.
#BorisJohnson has a large majority in the palm of his hand if he makes a āno dealā pact with #Farage and the #BrexitParty, but he refuses to do it because, like most #Tories, he doesnāt want the #UK to be independent.
A short post on what it takes to #GetBrexitDone
The trouble with the brexits is every time tories add things they end up lengthening Brexit
In 2016 when #farage defined Norway Brexit change would have taken days. Keeping the original #thatcherdeal means Brexit is done already

But the tories added on two things that weren't part of the 2016 mandate because no one thought we'd be so stupid.
1. A need for an EU FTA - all the 2016 campaigns assumed staying in the customs union.
2. A need to renegotiate all Non-EU FTAs that we get through EU.

These decisions added YEARS.
1. EU FTA, the average is 3-5 years. The idea it will be quicker is said by people who know nothing about international trade. It will be slower due to all the exceptions.
2. 10 years? It should be 35 years if we take the average. Can you imagine?

[Thread] 1) @Nigel_Farage, as hothead-in-chief, deserves a Twitter analysis. So I analysed a recent Tweet of his which has about 6,500 Retweets. The tweet in question is the one where Farage is obviously playing two truths and a lie [see screenshot]. #ŁStopTheCoup #Brexit
2) Why did I choose this tweet? It's because we are interested in what messages get amplified the most. So I downloaded Farage's TL to see which was the most retweeted. Twas the aforementioned ofc! The graph shows Nigel's recent RTs by number over time #StopTheCoup
3) As before, I will examine the biographical details of those who retweeted this tweet. A count of the most common words reveals that the most common biographical detail of those who amplified this tweet is MAGA, followed by Trump, followed by Brexit [See below]. #StopTheCoup
