Great, now you've shared this.
I didn't comment on it when I saw it because it would take an entire twitter thread or an equally long video to correct all of the legal inaccuracies and straight up fake news. So I chose not to give it air-time.

Here's a brief list of the problems with that video. I'm half asleep and wrote it in bed with one eye open, but there you go...pic.twitter.com/YK8Dgn4prR

did you have to get your funders to provide a list?
-
Try refuting the message with facts rather than attacking the messenger. Funding is irrelevant here, Femi is spot on here, this woman is talking absolute nonsense.
-
As is this Femi chap.
-
Ok then, you should be able to easily counter his arguments point by then?
-
I don’t have the funding.....

An appalling miscellany of misunderstandings and wilful misinterpretation. Confusion heaped upon conceit; this woman couldn't negotiate her way out of a supermarket with that kind of Kiplingesque bombast. Shocking stuff.

Theresa May I assume?

And the EU would have said "dream on" and the whole thing would be undermined by her ludicrous assumption that the EU needs Britain more than Britain needs the EU because the EU is 7x the size of the UK. Not just fabulous but Absolutely Fabulous Disingenuous Bullshit.
-
So you don’t think the EU will miss 15-20% of its revenue...interesting notion, but let’s not let facts get in the way of your 7 x bigger argument
-
the EU can replace that revenue. the UK contribution to the EU is tiny as a % of UK GDP and government expenditure. So with the EU having GDP massively higher, it can get that. The EU can do basic sums a 4 year old could manage, so this "threat" was never serious.
-
Sorry, but that’s twoddle, do you know the EU budget revenue? If it’s easy for them to get the billions the UK put in, then why was our total 15-21 % of there revenue? Wouldn’t it be fairer if it was a little more equal? They are 7 X bigger? Btw I’m only 3 so it’s hard for me x
-
Think of it like this. We put in £13b a year (£9 net after we get some back in the rebate) out of our economy which is about £2 trillion a year, so this is about 0.65% of our GDP (something like 2% of all government expenditure). The EU is 7x as big so it's really small for thempic.twitter.com/jx5p005y7K

we can say it wasn't that fair (a few reasons for this, one of them the new joiners in the 2000s didn't contribute on the same level) but, still, it was very small for us and it will be tiny for the EU. this is one reason why they can face us down all day.

Can we please rectify how our government is getting away with this ..
-
In the end it will come down to the people....and I don't mean another vote.
-
Agreed! This can't be solved by the ballot box anymore. After all. Our own government is breaking the law to destroy our democracy

She’s a gem but you can’t have her!

We'll trade you
@Anna_Soubry for her. -
Nah they can have Soubry for nothing, we'll export her like rest of the convicts we used to send to Australia.

I was *trying* to make it sound like a worthy trade!pic.twitter.com/faxwHT0ntE
