THREAD, please READ to the end:
Enough whinging please. It’s time for unity
Remainers, we must stop becoming everything we claim to oppose
1) Brexit is a policy error, not a universal human rights crime
2) Brexiters are as sincere as Remainers & love the UK as much as we do https://twitter.com/lbc/status/1303000170481713154

3) Confusing the above upends our moral framework, creating a world in which Trump is boycotted by former Labour leader @jeremycorbyn, while genocidal dictator Xi Jinping was hugged by him
4) We Remainers lost Brexit. Constitutionally, PM Johnson has an 80 seat majority and a mandate. We must now get over it & work to unify the country around a new Post-Brexit Remainer vision, like a Remainer plan B
5) Opposing Brexit in principle (not the details of *how* but the mere fact it is happening) is now a waste of everyone’s time. It is opposition for opposition’s sake & it surrenders the debate, and our future, to the side you claim to dislike.
Who stands to gain from that?

6) So Remainers, if you could not work with - say - Mr Brexit @Nigel_Farage in order to stop a genocide (as I did with pushing the Uyghur petition) merely because of his role in a now settled national policy dispute, I question your moral compass
Meanwhile, the now leader of the Remain supporting Lib Dems @EdwardJDavey did not sign and did not support the petition while I was on hunger strike. This is a huge civilisational morality failure. Not merely a *major* policy error
Mr Davey betrayed himself & his party @LibDems

7) If you want to still be angry about something, there is an anti-genocide cause awaiting your support & Uyghurs desperately need your misplaced rage
8) Unlike Brexit, that really *is* a human rights morality issue. But you’d never guess, judging our national reactions to both.
We have become blissfully self-absorbed. And that’s precisely how the “privilege” we regularly bang on about works.
Think about it.
