Dutch singer, songwriter, musician focusing on the rich Irish music trad.☘️ EU citizen. Brexit was a crime and we know who did it. FPTP creates a dictatorship of the largest minority, it divides, rewards liars and leaves way too many unrepresented.

Tell me something that surprises me. Tariffs = self-harm.

Ik ken veel te veel mensen die hier hun schouders over ophalen. Ze hebben geen idee hoe hun persoonlijke gegevens kunnen worden misbruikt. Dat betekent dat het een transparante overheidstaak moet zijn om ons te beschermen en achter deze criminelen aan te gaan. Task Force Digitale Veiligheid?

Rupert Lowe tweets his Restore Britain party will vet councillors who want to join - to avoid accepting those who "don't have the stomach" for what needs to be done.

His most openly racist supporters say they are "ecstatic".

They believe he will set no boundaries at all on overt racism for members

As we near the 10th anniversary of Brexit, with evidence the damage to our economy is even worse than predicted, time to remind ourselves of Brexit Battalions ‘Media Corps’ who pushed for and celebrated this. Good time to tag them in. Any apologies?

Let's not underestimate how damaging this is for us all. A small mafia is robbing the US and we're paying the price. The longer we allow them in power, the higher the price we will have to pay to get them out of there.

History has multiple examples.

If only people would get a proportional representation in politics.

Whatever the White House Mafia scraps, in the industry we all know fossil is not worth any investment.

Let's make those who doubt clear that dirty-and-destructive has no future and support Extinction Rebellion and others who stand up for our beautiful planet.

My heart breaks, reading the background story about Tumbler Ridge. Mental health care is more important than any security measure.

Which means to me that the UK doesn't have a Constitution.

It doesn't come close to any other Constitution in the rest of the world.

But hey, we're British (say the English)

Since #bbclaurak is trending, let’s remind ourselves that ONE MONTH ago, the BBC invited Mandelson on for a soft-ball interview on her show. While HIS CLIENT , Palantir’s Louis Moseley appeared as a pundit

Both, as I wrote at time, were ‘abject failures of journalism’

That's not a Constitution.

It's a ridiculous thing to say. And very English.

Face it. If you don't have a decent and clear document that defines people's minimum rights and protects the democratic processes, then you don't have a Constitution.

Guess why Epstein had to die.

This is Kompromat and Sistema by design, which we all were made to believe it was a Russian thing.

One thing that really strikes me throughout this whole scandal – from Mandelson’s chumminess with Epstein, to passing Gov info to him, to his “I’ve done nothing wrong” response today – is Mandelson has told us who he was since 1998, and a whole succession of PMs have never actually listened.

Fascism, once in, never walks out without a price.

The longer we hesitate to pay that price, the higher it will be.

Examples available in history.
