Here are my top tweets for November, 2018, ranked by popularity. Thoughts?
1. Brexiters refusing to believe their region will be worse off until they see it written on a bus – http://bit.ly/2AvjIff via @newsthump
2. Vast armies of #bureaucrats & #experts soon became unpopular for their hard medicine & pain that they inflicted, especially the #IMF. The massive impact of #technology & economic growth in the developing world brought permanent change to traditional industries. https://twitter.com/DrAlfOldman/status/1065124650152275968 …
3. #TheresaMay‘s pitch to #populism is the latest desperate gambit to whitewash an omnishambles on #Brexit https://twitter.com/TomJLines/status/1065693849476059136…
4. William Hague’s powerful op-ed in @Telegraph argues how #Brexiteer MPs will secure a #Marxist government for the #UK. Dangerous times where downside risks swamp upside opportunities. Thoughts? https://twitter.com/DrAlfOldman/status/1064755853927030784 …
5. Good but scary article. @FraserNelson argues that increasing number of Tories favour a ‘managed no-deal’ on Brexit. But ‘pizza plotters’ risk more than ‘acid reflux & voters will see Jeremy Corbyn glued to fence. Time to hope for the best & plan for the worst. https://twitter.com/DrAlfOldman/status/1065836119235940352 …
6. The EU will turn us into captives if we sign up to this appalling sell-out of a deal https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/11/18/eu-will-turn-us-captives-sign-appalling-sell-out-deal/?WT.mc_id=tmg_share_tw … via @Telegraph
7. ‘Larry the Cat’ is back. Will the Downing Street cats come to the rescue? https://twitter.com/Number10cat/status/1062994827556593664 …
8. Red meat for #Brexiteers , this is currently the @Telegraph‘s most read story. Argueing that #EU is fatally flawed, so time to jump ship. ‘Man the lifeboats. Everybody in the lifeboats. It’s #Brexit‘ twitter.com/DrAlfOldman/st…
9. What is significant is the extent to which #populism has become #politicized, as a push-back against highly #educated #liberals who have failed to deal effectively with structural change. But Populism is not the same as #Fascism. https://twitter.com/DrAlfOldman/status/1065124650152275968 …
10. Shame on the @guardian for not being more focused on #Populism. It’s not new. It owes it’s origins to the Yalta settlement & the great boom in international agencies, like the #UN and subsequently the #EU . https://twitter.com/DrAlfOldman/status/1065124650152275968 …
