I thought it was worth preserving this for posterity. Apart from anything else it kills the canard that Twitter is all about "having a cocoa"..."going to the toilet"....
Tweets of particular comedic value are bolded. See James Graham's Twitter page here. The Jury Team website is here.
At the launch where I plan to live tweet
Seem to be one of the youngest people here maybe 5 peeps under 35?
Just spotted Martin Bell and Richard Taylor MP
Now in the auditorium to start
Hmmm appear to be the only person tweeting this
Kicks off with video hosted by Paul Judge
Video thus far consists of a load of canards
Black person in the video No black people on stage
Paul Judge starts talking
Judge: internet has cut out the middleman - we will do the same with politics
Judge: bread and circuses
Apparently we didn't have any corruption before political parties - scrap the Great Reform Act! Bring back the rotten borough!
Graph showing UK cits have lowest trust in parliament in EU leaves out Italy
Lots of quotes and opinion polls But where is the empirical evidence?
I like the way they keep skipping over the Lib Dems
Oh God, he's only just finished 'why'? Four more to go
Their open primaries will apparently involve 100% of the population Really?
One Mobile One Vote I know people with three!
Lord Ramsbotham speaks He doesn't smile much
Spare me this guff independents only existing to serve the national interest
Martin Bell takes the podium
Richard Taylor claims there are a) lots of people here and b) young people Where?
This talk about the glory of being 'independent' is starting to sound like groupthink
Taylor seems to entirely misunderstand how Parliament works
I have to admit, the will be an intriguing experiment with a much simpler concept than YourParty
Mansfield's independent mayor wants fewer councillors = less accountability
Hates multi-member wards This guy ain't no democrat!
The theme coming through is that independents must never stand against each other
Miranda Banks announces her candidacy She is a 'performance psychologist' Hmmm
Thus far she has talked complete waffle
Keeps banging on 'having a charcoal' MLK's 'dream' was a bit more evocative
Mixing her metaphors How do you 'mould' a drawing?
A 'picture that is so alive you can smell it' What the f**k (my asterisks) is she on ? Is she drunk?
'Keep the stuff in our hearts and bring it out there' - then it won't be in your heart
Lyn Tofari looks like a better catch, candidate wise She hasn't swallowed a management training manual
Just asked two questions
Candidates will have no expenses limit for need for transparency for selection process
Very unsatisfactory answer regarding how voters can scrutinise candidates
Apparently everyone who is 'independent' can speak on behalf of the British people I might try it some time
conclusion: the concept is simple enough that it might just work for the Euros, but that's when the problems will start
And I'm REALLY suspicious of this guff speaking for 'the people' Groupthink at best, mid class fascism at worst Ein volk?
@willhowells WTF? How did that suddenly spring from my subconscious?!
@Documentally I WAS the livestream Or the closest thing to it
