For one thing, his twitter posts seem to be more or less exactly what they were months ago.
Just... be careful here ABF. The temptation is high to find stuff like this, and I'm telling you, jumping on this bandwagon isn't helping anyone.

What does that do to the party's reputation? You can't afford to be wrong here.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
