    If you didn't think I was enough of an out of touch metropolitan elite twat already, I'm at the Barbican for an anti-Brexit jazz concert.

    Any targeted ads were only the final nudge needed. But it's near impossible for them to be as impactful / sophisticated as many think.

    Though I'd argue that decades of largely unfounded negative stories in the right-wing press (about the EU, Hillary) laid solid foundations.

    And they wanted it because they believed it was good for them. Why did they believe that? Many reasons. Targeted marketing possibly one.

    The left has to stop tracing Brexit & Trump to shady big data millionaires. Strips human agency. Ppl voted for it because they wanted it.

    Because if your political views are so ill-formed that they could have been scripted, they barely count as views. So many knees jerking.

    Considered Catalonia opinion: Both sides have a point, both sides are being dicks about it. As ever, it's ordinary people who'll be screwed.

    This will be all of us come March 2019. Sadly, the Channel's 33km af its narrowest point, so we'll still be fucked.

    Cheerful thought: If our current politicians weren't so utterly useless, it's just possible that Brexit could have been be made to work.

    Sort of weird considering the Ishiguro novel was about a butler who regretted overlooking his masters' support for fascism

    I'm holding out for good Brexit deals with the Duchy of Burgundy, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Lower Palatinate, and Aragon.

    Up to London if no Brexit! Never clearer A50 is unilaterally revocable. Case for referendum on Brexit Deal v Remain grows ever stronger.

    EU27 must keep unity regardless of direction of talks. In fact up to London how this will end: with a good deal, no deal or no .

    "parliament may not get vote on final deal until after Brexit"? That'd be unconstitutional, so against EU rules.
