Teenage Brexit Party Official Helped Leak Diplomatic Cables of Ambassador Slamming Trump
Telegraph ^

Posted on 07/21/2019 11:16:46 AM PDT by sinsofsolarempirefan

Scotland Yard risked being dragged into a politically charged row over Sir Kim Darroch’s emails after a teenager working for the Brexit Party said he was the middleman who obtained the classified documents.

Steven Edginton, 19, who runs the Brexit Party’s social media feeds, insisted he passed the documents to the political journalist Isabel Oakeshott.

Mr Edginton, who also describes himself as a freelance journalist, said he did not want his name on the articles, subsequently published in the mail on Sunday, “to avoid possible controversy”.

??? In 1937 Churchill was trying to warn Europe of the coming catastrophe.

The emails served their purpose flushing out Mr. Hunt as anti-Trump and a Europhile and making Boris look good, the guy Trump likes.

A real Brexit will bring the UK into the USA’s orbit and take it away from Germany and Company also called the European Union.

He was also unemployed, other than a sinecure managing the affairs of a remote duchy, and neither Labour, the last of the Liberals, nor the Conservatives wanted any part of him. At around this boy’s age, Churchill was swashbuckling around South Africa. And here he’s cooked his career for good at nineteen, as Churchill was believed to have done in his fifties. At least he had had a career, and this boy will not. And I’d bet he has no talent either painting or writing, both of which Churchill did prolifically.

“Just like the Hillary emails. Everybody acts like what’s IN the emails is no big deal, the crime that matters is nailing the person dared to let the little people know what’s really going on.
I care more about the content then who was kind enough to let us all know the truth.”

Absolutely!

I nominate Steven Edginton to the Order of the Knight’s Garter.

May Her Majesty go all in for Brexit and all in for Donald Trump.

“Might want to get a food taster though.”

Most Brit food is so bad, a little poison might make it easier to eat.

Churchill was a Master of the English language and as such was never really unemployed (just out of government) since he provided columns to the Hearst papers. He was also writing books which sold well.

Yes his early life was chaotic and exciting. He never was thought to be above normal while in school and seems to have been self-guided from an early age but with unquenchable ambition.

He's from Portsmouth, Hampshire. His sister Kirsty is two years older.

In school, they, including his father, believed he was a dunce, because he studiously ignored Latin and Greek studies and failed all tests in those subjects. He was beaten for it, but refused to relent. His English, however, more than compensated for that and his famously bad French.

Young Brexit boy, however, is done in government. He had all the youthful brashness, but none of the talents, and got caught holding the bag.

He was an enthusiastic Brexit partisan, and did what an adult told him to, maybe aware that it was illegal. Now he’s screwed.

My hat’s off to him. He did a good thing for his country, which has been strongly creeping towards fascism.I wish him luck in the future.
