Anti-Brexit MPs Could Sabotage UK-US trade, Congressman Urges Clean British Break from EU
More confirmation remoaners want Brexit to fail. They're traitors.

BBC plastics thing hits Twitter and the Guardian now
It's PR, Not Truth
#1 BBC hype a non-problem
#2 BBC announce themselves as saviours
- Plastics are generally put in waste collection & can be burnt safely as fuel in high temp incinerators
- Tiny fraction of #OceanPlastic comes from Europe 0.28%

@Tomo Well at least today the newsreports only spoke of Jihadism
A different thing is... nutters who have a Nazi flag in the corner of the room do occasionally do violent things
but they are best dealt within the mental health system
..cos they could lash out at anyone

That breathless announcement that the BBC is phasing out single use plastics by 2020
was on the Oneshow about 7:15pm

0.2% 0.28% not 2%
Another case where Politicians & BBC/MSM should tell the truth.
1. 0.28% of Ocean Plastic Waste from EU (inc UK)
2. The rivers taking plastic to the oceans
...research, published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, shows that 10 river systems, located in heavily populated regions where littering is common, carry more than 90% of the plastic that ends up in the oceans. Two are in Africa (the Nile and the Niger) while the other eight are in Asia (the Ganges, Indus, Yellow, Yangtze, Haihe, Pearl, Mekong and Amur).
Think about that. Africa, China & India rivers transport 88–95% of the global load into the sea. Thus: RoW (inc UK, America (North & South), Australia, Europe, Japan, Indonesia, Middle East, Russia, Ships...) are the source of 5-12% of Ocean plastic.
Not a UK/EU/USA problem who are literally a drop in the ocean.
Hence why UK politicians should stop scaremongering about UK plastic and implying ocean plastic is our fault. Politicians & BBC/MSM complain public don't trust them; if they stopped lying and told the truth trust could be restored.

The world is saved
There has just been a breathless announcement that the BBC is phasing out single use plastics by 2020
..they didn't explain how little good that'll do
======================
Then I just noticed a GP page actually quoting Spiegelhalter's dEbunking of air pollution alarmism
Jesus what are proper maths doing on a GP page ?

I wonder how many Model 3 early adopters are wondering if it's a metaphor for their deposits?

Nigel Farage is calling for an investigation into George Soros's attempt to stop Brexit.
Farage maintains that his 'Open Society Forum' is the biggest political organisation the world has ever seen. Farage says that Soros doesn't believe in nation state democracy. here
