Extraordinary words by Sir John Major on #Brexit at LSE last night: 🧵 🇬🇧 🇪🇺
1. “In an act of collective folly, the United Kingdom voted to lead to European Union across the world, our enemies celebrated and our friends despair.”
“We left Europe on a minority vote of 37% of the election after a referendum campaign that was packed with misinformation and misjudgment, it left our country poorer, weaker and divorced from the richest free trade market that history has ever seen. National interest was brushed aside by false hopes and promises”.
“False hopes and promises that even a cabinet dominated by front line Brexit enthusiasts was unable to deliver the promises they made, […] while the forecast damage of leaving the European Union has become only too apparent. The nation saw Project Fear become Project Reality very easily. It's no consolation that the majority of the public now overwhelmingly recognizes that it was mislead in their moments of triumph.”
“Brexiteers predicted other countries would follow their lead and leave the European Union. None have. All saw only too clearly that Brexit was packed with disadvantages, as we meet far from others leaving the European Union, as we meet nine further nations now wish to join the European Union, which is an apt comment on how the world saw Britain's decision.”
“United Kingdom once reveled, not long ago, within the memory of everyone present in this room, once reveled in being a leading member of the European Union with half a billion citizens and the undoubted first ally of the United States, the world's most eminent superpower. Today, we know we are neither, and so does the world”.
Hi @Blockstream. I need to reset my Jade pin. Your AI chat bot is useless and keeps sending me round in circles. If I delete the block stream green app and reinstall, all that happens is that it asks me to input my pin!!! Any ideas?

@steviefm Hi Steven, what a shame in your reporting of the Tv BAFTAs you decided to totally ignore the only two Children’s Bafta awards which include nominees from the BBC itself. Would you would like to explain to the nominees why you don’t think their work is worth mentioning?

Songwriters are told over and over that Spotify can only pay us pittance for delivering its core product – music – as the company is not making a profit. We have been subsidising their business model, building them a profitable company (1/2) musicbusinessworldwide.com/key-spotify-ex…
I’ve been on many a March through London …anti Brexit and climate change with 100,000 + peeps, but none have had the media coverage these 10k farmers are getting from @BBCNews. What’s different?……
