historians have an instinct for those times of cumulative “ event acceleration” where matters sprint past the ability of politicians to contain their consequences - 1642, 1789-93; and, um 1914...Guess what...

In the end, whatever happens next week ..Brexit can't win because the overwhelming majority of the young are against leaving and if forced to, without getting a vote, will make it their life mission to reverse it and will damn those who brought it about

All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

Anna Soubry of IndGroup (ot is it Change UK?) has been pretty effective on the podium and Twitter and People's March. But too small a group to be PM? Plus they seem to be divided even as group of 11 - 1 supporting European parliament elections as "proxy" for 2nd referendum - madness.
by PeraclesPlease on Sun, 03/31/2019 - 1:16am
Labour thinks backing 2nd referendum will win election. Tho maybe people will be sick of them sitting on the fence still?

Meanwhile, wondering if Vote Leave will get punished as finally accept they broke the law? (as 2 of their leaders' names are bandied about as possible new PM)
