I am a quite clearly a parody. Possessing the mind of a tyrant. It is too early to say how History will judge me.

Brexit is a divorce; intrinsically a custody battle with the EU over Northern Ireland. Full custody will be retained by one party. For, as decades of UK/EU negotiating re Israel-Palestine shows, a two-state solution (i.e. shared custody) is beyond the Westphalian system. #ironic

Analysis of the decisions of people appearing on episodes of the gameshow "Deal or No Deal" found that 'contestants were less risk-averse or even risk-seeking when they saw their expected winnings drop.' en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deal_or_N… "Whoever has ears, let them hear." #Brexit

This (terrible) debate would have been much improved if it was hosted by Joe Rogan et al. The mainstream media is not fit for purpose. The type of conversation/dialogue that is essential in the modern day is long-form and nuanced. Typically involving my acumen. #BBCOurNextPM

In Summer 2011, a wise man said that "the whites have become black". He was immediately pursued by pitchforks. But, I wonder what those dimwits now say in response to the FACT that the 'fist bump' is now mainstream 🤔 #historianpredictedthefuture

The limp-wristed coverage of the #ParadisePapers makes me wonder whether Fallon et al should say they simply took part in consent-avoidance.

Bernard Jenkin said "we'll be in control of our immigration". But, if (as he also said) there is no hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, how do we prevent the free movement of people across that border? Unless by we, he doesn't mean Northern Ireland #bbcqt

Should Jeremy Corbyn 'take responsibility' for the drug-taking and rampant sexy-stuff that took place at Glastonbury 2017? I say: Hell no! I am ashamed at the way the country flees down a puritanical rabbit-hole rather than bravely face the real issues of the day. #bbcqt

What is the solution for NI/Irish border? If you do not have firm, solid, rational and multi-lateral solution, do you really have a solution to the Brexit question? Please don't 'Cathy Newman' my questions... Please answer the questions as asked. If you can. #brexit
