@whitford747 Are there any circumstances in which you will accept that not all 17.4 million people wanted to leave without a deal?

[James Robertson @Food_Builder]

@whitford747 @thomasbrake To clarify - am not arguing against controlled migration - just arguing that the money behind Brexit could not care less about it, and will open other doors to cheap labor.

[James Robertson @Food_Builder]

@whitford747 @thomasbrake @whitford747 I trust you have no objection whatsoever to the mass lifting of visa restrictions that the likes of China and India will demand in post-brexit trade deals? Are you so naive to think that businesses backing brexit want to pay the brits more to do the jobs left behind?

@whitford747 @AOC @IlhanMN @SpeakerPelosi What is it you are actually trying to say here? Its like you want to come out in support of Trump's statement but are a bit too afraid to spell it out?

[James Robertson @Food_Builder]

@edcaesar @JamieJBartlett Thanks mate! Hope your well. When is next tome due?

[James Robertson @Food_Builder]

@edcaesar (among others!)...any tips for a beachy and engaging mid-level (tech-wise) long read on the current state of the crypto world? Ideally the 'Too Big to Fail' of Bitcoin or similar?

[James Robertson @Food_Builder]

@whitford747 Great to see in principle you are behind the idea of a political union big enough and ambitious enough to address the global issues threatening us all. EU isn't perfect, but project fear is not all fiction.

[James Robertson @Food_Builder]

@whitford747 instead of trying to convince you or anyone else their vote in 2016 was wrong, would like to know exactly under what conditions you would see a political union with Europe as a positive move? Do you have sufficient imagination?

[James Robertson @Food_Builder]

@whitford747 Assume the vote was honored and the UK left. Fine. What gives anyone the right to say that the vote is for a lifetime?! Any given government has 5 years max. Is there any good reason to deprive newly minted voters an opinion on this when the come of age under the next government?

[James Robertson @Food_Builder]

@whitford747 @DominicRaab @BorisJohnson Still waiting for a response re TTIP. In 2016 a vote for Brexit was a vote to escape imoending alignment with US standards on trade. Today it's a vote to leap straight into their arms. Surely the most undemocratic thing you can do is oppose a 2nd or confirmatory vote.

[James Robertson @Food_Builder]

@whitford747 @Anna_Soubry @Kevin_Maguire @SadiqKhan @DavidLammy @heidiallen75 @GabbyLogan @campbellclaret @GaryLineker @NickBoles So did I.. and the biggest Con was at the time of the vote, TTIP looked likely to be signed, tying UK as part of EU to US food standards. That situation was reversed after vote when TTIP died. Can you offer any reason why voters should be prevented from reacting to this change?

@whitford747 @joe8715 @CJSTTwo What motivation do workers have for being outside the EU? Instead of competing against a bunch of similar economies with unionised labour they would be up against far cheaper skilled chinese and indian labourers, and/or americans (10 days holiday, no insurance). Who benefits?

[James Robertson @Food_Builder]

@whitford747 @joe8715 @CJSTTwo Ok am finally going to bite. Yes there is a heap to rebel against for the working class, but the EU offer far more protection to the worker than those funding the push Brexit who want nothing more than to do away with any form of worker protection. Where is the anger for this?

[James Robertson @Food_Builder]

@tferriss Yousician or anything similar. Why? Because it teaches you to play small pieces of songs you already know, and you achieve far more far earlier than you expect.

[James Robertson @Food_Builder]

@edcaesar @NYTmag Wow...absolutely fascinating and so personal. Great piece Ed.

[James Robertson @Food_Builder]

@edcaesar As some of followers have picked up, as long as you have been very clear that this what you are focused on, you should be strong and stable enough to deliver the will of the people.

[James Robertson @Food_Builder]

@edcaesar Hi Ed...Wow I was taught by Mr Bairamian for a year or two.. any links to the original Obit?

[James Robertson @Food_Builder]

@Classic_picx @adkrobertson think i have found the original source!

@yonatanzunger @philrandal Every Man Dies Alone by Hans Fallada is novel describing the resistance of one elderly couple inside Germany. Chilling because it is so relatable.
