#Poverty and #climate more important than #Brexit, says Corbyn | #Politics | The Guardian
I have disagreed with #JeremyCorbyn on his approach to Brexit but he is right in saying that it is a sideshow compared to #GlobalWarming and tackling poverty. Unfortunately, in the short term it’s a more acute crisis but the others are far more important and damaging.

No clue how, with whom, at least even why or for what - But yes: they wanted their country back (as if it was taken anyways) A hollow, but very catchy phrase. We learn: to a large degree nationalism obviously comes at the cost of rationality. Thank you, dear UK, thank you for that lesson. #Europe #uk #Brexit #remainernow

The EU is starting a full on war on general purpose computing. A proposed law will make it impossible to install custom software on WiFi routers, smartphones and embedded devices!
This is insane. The hearing ends today. Please give your feedback: https://blog.mehl.mx/2019/protect-freedom-on-radio-devices-raise-your-voice-today/
