#BREXIT
A report claims the government is preparing “Doomsday” contingency plans in the event of a “no deal” Brexit in which the UK leaves the EU with no trade or legislative agreements in place. Home Secretary Sajid Javid says he doesn’t think it will “come to pass”. @Redcliffescott said: “So it is indy or Brexit armageddon. The 2013 status quo of sorts is not an option. This debacle is beyond belief. Project Fear can be run with facts by the indy team this time around. Saner to stay in EU and trade with everyone even England.” @andyknapper83 added: “I’ve also heard sheep will lose all their wool, everyone’s wheels will fall off their cars and running will become illegal on Tuesdays.” @David197991 said: “It’s true, look what happened with a drop of snow! No milk, no bread, this city is heading for a disaster of biblical proportions.”
#LUSH
The luxury cosmetics firm Lush, which regularly runs social justice campaigns, said UK staff received “intimidation from ex-police officers”, and has removed some window displays campaigning against unethical actions by undercover police. @Moonstone2008 added: “The poster in the shop window depicts a frontline uniformed officer not plain clothes undercover officer. The bobby on the street has nothing to do with undercover cases.” @Juicy_john said: “I am team Lush. The police bully tactics here literally prove their original point! Going to buy 10 bath bombs on Monday to show support.” @lcaptaincurtiss said: “The problem with this campaign is that 95% of the people who see the shop display do not dig deeper to find the real (and very valid reason) for the campaign they just see a uniformed regular officer who is ‘paid to lie’.”
#MEXICO
Dedicated Scottish football fans stayed up through the night – only to watch the national side slump to defeat against Mexico. @Garypanton said: “Haven’t bothered to watch a Scotland match in years but the sheer novelty of the 1am Saturday night kick-off has me sitting up for #MEXSCO.” @rebeccacaca94 added: “Wait til I tell Fiona we’re watching the Scotland game at 1am, going to go down like a lead balloon.”
