Panama: Verkauft am Kanal
Da Sklaverei und Kolonialismus international als Verbrechen gegen die Menschheit eingestuft sind, müssen sich die kommenden Regierungen Panamas deutlich dazu positionieren und auch über Entschädigungen für begangenes Unrecht nachdenken.
Setting the Sights on East Turkestan (II)
For decades, Uighur separatists, under prosecution currently by the Chinese authorities in Xinjiang, have had their foreign operational base in the Federal Republic of Germany. Exiled Uighurs in Munich had propagated the secession of western China‘s Xinjiang Autonomous Region – „East Turkestan“ – already in the 1970s over the US propaganda broadcaster Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL).

*Please note – the date is only provisional. We don‘t know for sure when Parliament is voting on the deal, though 11th December is likely*
When Parliament debates Theresa May‘s worst-of-all-worlds deal, let‘s gather outside and demand MPs vote it down.

Every MP who says they won’t vote for the PM’s #Brexit Deal needs to be asked immediately “But will you vote against it?” Opposing the Deal through abstention, rather than through opposition, could be the thing that allows it to get it through.
BREX APPEAL: Now Theresa May begs LABOUR MPs for support on Brexit deal in move that will infuriate her party
The PM has been accused of blackmail for telling Tories they may lose their jobs if they vote against her.
THERESA May is lobbying Labour MPs to back her Brexit deal in a sign she‘s given up on winning over rebel Tories.
We cannot recommend this deal to our readers, nor to MPs -@thesun leader today
The Daily Express is backing May and her deal. Another paper to give a miss.
I‘m genuinely sorry to see colleagues who have told me in person that this is a dreadful deal with the EU tweeting out the supportive line to take. That must eat at the soul.
Just to make the #ReferendumResult absolutely clear, 7 out of 10 Tory MPs represent constituencies that voted #Leave. 6 out of 10 Labour MPs represent constituencies that voted #Leave. Why aren’t ALL these MPs pushing for full Brexit?
Debunked: 40 Reasons to Back the Brexit Deal
40. The deal delivers on the referendum result. It takes back control of our money, borders and laws whilst protecting jobs, security and the integrity of the United Kingdom. NO. We still have the EU determine rules and laws that affect the UK, some aspects of free movement remain, Britain is still paying £39 billion and possibly more for no guarantees in return on future trade deal, and the future of the UK is still under threat.
Artists and arts workers have just as much reason as everyone else to #StandUp4Brexit and reject @theresa_may‘s #turkeytrap #BRINO ‚Brexit‘ proposals. @StandUp4Brexit comprehensively debunk them in this essential article. We must now seek a #WTOBrexit.

May versus Corbyn LIVE: Labour leader accepts ‚challenge‘ for a Brexit TV showdown with the PM – but now No10 goes coy about whether it really wants clash to happen
Agreeing to a TV debate would be a radical reversal for Mrs May, who memorably turned down head-to-head appearances during the last election campaign.
She was savaged by other party leaders for dodging a debate during the election in June last year – instead sending Amber Rudd.
A Survival Guide for the ‘Cultural Elite’
They call us the ‘cultural elite’ and accuse us of being out of touch and living in a bubble. We are the novelists, the arts advisors, the journalists and university professors. We work to ceaselessly to transform the culture of this benighted country and we feel threatened by the backlash against us.
We are the educated, the better informed and the socially aware. We believe in the truth of our facts. We must not let the populists and rabble rousers get us down.
Here is a guide for you to maintain your mental wellbeing during this challenging period:

EU Is Not At „War“ With Italy, Juncker Says After Budget Row Meeting
„I made it very clear that we are not [at] war with Italy. Italia for me is a lifelong story because I grew up with young Italians, immigrants […] Ti amo Italia,“ Juncker said in Brussels.

(13.11.2018) Changes in the pension system planned by the government that would effectively lower the retirement age, allowing people to end their working lives when their age and number of years of social-security contributions reach 100, would have negative effects, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said Tuesday.
Angeblich „steht“ der #brExit-Deal, meint #ntv. Das ist Quatsch, es gibt nur eine Dealabsicht mit #May. #gb bleibt bis Ende 2022 in der #eu, zahlt und hat nichts mitzureden! Ob #gb danach in der Zollunion bleibt, hängt von der #eu ab, denn die muss einem Ende zustimmen.
Brexit: Taktische Verbannung des Plan B
Angesetzt ist die Parlaments-Entscheidung für den Dezember, laut Guardian wahrscheinlich für den 10 oder 11. des Monats, dem würden „wahrscheinlich über 30 Stunden an Debatten über das zutiefst geteilte Unterhaus verteilt auf mehrere Tage vorausgehen“.
Die von der Aussicht auf eine fehlende Mehrheit und dem Diktum der EU („Nehmt diesen Vertrag oder keinen“) bedrängte Theresa May blieb in ihrer Pressekonferenz nur eine verzweifelte Offensive mit einer großen Leerstelle.

Mrs Merkel, speaking in Brussels, said: “it’s a historic day, which triggers very ambivalent feelings … it is tragic that the UK is leaving the EU now after 45 years, but we have to, of course, respect the vote of the British people.”
@UKLabour should do the following: 1) Vote down the Withdrawal Agreement 2) Drop the idea of a permanent Customs Union 3) Ferociously attack the Tories for failing on Brexit 4) Commit to leaving the EU and the negotiate a Canada style deal Do that and we‘ll win the next GE!
Turning the UK into an EU colony
May’s Withdrawal Agreement makes a mockery of the Brexit vote.
“Papers this morning report Downing St. has decided upon December 12 for the big Commons vote on Brexit, which is as long as they can possibly leave it before the next EU Council summit on 13th: an indication of how things are looking on the domestic front” #brexit @politico
