"Rather as happened with the confident predictions that the First World War would be over by Christmas, we are now stuck in a long, gloomy and vicious culture war of attrition. In those trenches, even the dimmest, most chinless, subaltern no longer talks blithely of sunny uplands to come."

Prof. Chris Grey says it how it is in his latest blog post about the uber-shambles of #Brexit

This article on the challenge for the political parties in #Cymru is excellent https://www.herald.wales/national-news/labour-win-leaves-every-party-with-problems/

Conservatives are crushing it in the local elections in #England... What does this mean for #Cymru?!

Guess we'll find out later today #senedd21

This is brilliant from #WelshLabour - encouraging their supporters in south Wales to vote for left wing parties on the regional list in order to deny the right wing populists https://nation.cymru/news/labour-candidate-calls-for-tactical-voting-on-senedd-regional-list-to-keep-conservatives-out/ #UKPol #Senedd21

Sometimes I'm baffled by #Mastodon. After more than a year of monitoring activity levels on Toot.Wales, it looks as though activity levels are more or less the same as last year.

I need to work on my sales pitch 😅 @jaz

Once again, Prof. Chris Grey nails the issue around lies, laws and #Brexit; how Brexit created Johnson, and how Johnson is deconstructing regulation and due process. The scandal unfolds... https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2021/04/the-brexit-roots-of-scandals.html

#AskMastodon I'm considering using #Sentrifugo for HRM management, but it doesn't look as though it's being developed further. Any thoughts - or alternatives? Boosts appreciated 🙏

Pretty sure that LinkedIn's algorithms haven't quite got my measure

#EtonCollege, one of the bastions of privileged elite in England, has produced 20 prime ministers, including the catastrophic #DavidCameron and #BorisJohnson

The UK press rarely reports on why such dysfunctional and corrupt people are products of this system, but other journalists are more forensic https://www-spiegel-de.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.spiegel.de/international/europe/how-eton-college-perpetuates-problems-in-the-uk-a-1280694-amp.html

Brexit reduced the geographic area on which UK citizens have the automatic right to live, work, study and retire reduced by over 90%.

Wow, the #IndyWales movement gets a tiny mention in this 'Federal Trust' article about 'Labour, Brexit and the Constitution' https://fedtrust.co.uk/labour-brexit-and-the-constitution-waiting-for-the-dog-to-bark/

No consequences, no responsibility and certainly no shame. As Prof Chris Grey points out (https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2021/04/the-irresponsibility-of-brexiters.html) the Brexiters are still refusing to acknowledge their role in the chaos that #Brexit is creating in Northern Ireland, for the business community and for hundreds thousands of people here and in the EU

If only #Wales had this sort of perspective...

I'm amazed to see how many of these 'urfascism' principles could be applied to the #brexit idealogues. #UmbertoEco

Professor Chris Grey's latest blog post focuses on the apparent ratcheting-down of tension between the UK and the EU; and suggests that it's the prelude for another #Brexit convulsion to satisfy the ultras in the press and on the backbenches https://chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2021/04/a-brexit-reset.html #UKPol
