Most Brits think we should stay in the ECHR and protect our British-European values… Makes perfect sense. And also- 1) It protects us from Trump-like behaviour with his own citizens 2) It underpins our criminal data-sharing with Europe. Leave ECHR and we’d become a haven for criminals.

We @protectdemocracy.org have been saying for years “in the modern era, authoritarianism doesn’t come with tanks in the streets. It’s harder to see coming than that.” Well, we were wrong. Trump’s tanks are here. We are frogs in the water, and it’s already boiling.

Trump just does not understand why anyone would resist a more powerful adversary, for any reason. "When you're a celebrity they just let you do it" and refusing to pay contractor invoices until they slash the price in desperation is how he understands the world. Ukraine baffles and infuriates him.
