Alex @alexkorff.com · 14/09/2026I’ve been advocating this for a while… Canada has lots of space and resources and not enough people; Europe the opposite (very big generalisation obviously), but FoM presumably costs CA little and the market access a huge plus. Win win win! 010 0
Reposted by AlexChris Kendall @ottocr.at · 01/07/2026The whole of British society seems to take it as given that "losing" the pound = bad thing but I guarantee that challenging this lazy assumption will change minds. Just point to how it has made Germany, Ireland, France, Netherlands, much richer. As for 'tradition', the UK pound is younger than me. 3174 0

Alex @alexkorff.com · 09/06/2026It really is; most people are not politically engaged, and if they are flooded with sophisticated technical propaganda, they are not making free choices... so yes "distorting the debate" is right, and distorting democracy therefore. 020 0
Alex @alexkorff.com · 09/06/2026You cannot have meaningful democracy when the information space is so corrupted. That’s a hill I will die on. It’s not about being patronising, it’s literally removing agency and free will from people 111 0
Alex @alexkorff.com · 09/06/2026Not quite but yes close. I do think long term residents/tax payers should have those rights, and it was obviously morally unfair in view of the direct impact it had, but that’s clearly a different argument… and people rightly made a big fuss over the disinformation/dodgy funding breaches etc 110 0

Alex @alexkorff.com · 09/06/2026Yup & Brexit needs a ‘truth and reconciliation’ commission, a formal Government apology to the EU and to all 350m EU citizens, esp. the 3-5m most directly impacted, and an acknowledgment that it was a harmful, self harming and terribly handled episode in British history.
