Simon FlettAs <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> swaggers over US campuses directing them how it's going to be, let us recall <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Tory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tory</a> former Whip Heaton Harris 👇 who took it upon himself to write to Uni Chancellors demanding the names of academics opposed to <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Brexit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Brexit</a> , & understand; browbeating institutes of higher education is absolutely a hallmark of fascism, wherever it thinks it has cemented itself in power. The sinister ERG 🎩🩲🇬🇧⚓️ has disappeared from view, but he & his kind are still out there, hoping for a comeback. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/RejoinEU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RejoinEU</a>

Sir JoStarted out on Twitter because of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Brexit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Brexit</a> in 2016, Left X because of too much muskrat, came to Mastodon on a French server (Mastouille.fr), and this is my back up on .social. Good thing in the fediverse: Even if one server is down, you can still migrate to another one. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> forever! :)

DrDThe UK should formally rejoin the EU - even before Trump's disengagement from the western alliance - the massive folly of Brexit was writ large over the British economy and politics.Now with a very different European and global geopolitical landscape, from both an economic and security perspective Britain needs the umbrella of a pan-European alliance. <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/europe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#europe</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/brexit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#brexit</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/starmer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#starmer</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/eu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#eu</a>
