This is a precise description.
Moderate politicians must get better at managing global movement of people so that infrastructure aligns with population changes.
Maybe you won't have enough money left to arrest people in Britain for silently praying.
A bit like being told off for setting off a fire extinguisher by your head teacher in front of the whole school at Assembly, when you were 16 and you thought those days were over cos you're all grown up now.

They need to understand the gore and death behind authoritarian.
So they can appreciate the freedoms we have.
Sugar coating history guarantees it will repeat itself.
Vance uses a genuine war to prioritise Christian Nationalist America's "culture war" and the BBC, instead of decrying this, adopts it in its own framing for a debate.
END
He has no right to critique the UK and Scotland over his own culture war issues.
Guess they all just love to hate democracy together.
Europe is a powerful force for good!
Vote out the #republican cowards who abandoned their morals for the power #trump gives them.
Trump does not control the voting machines in local jurisdictions, which are run by county clerks, who have a very hard job!
Discouraging stuff but we have to keep encouraging one another through this!
It’s just about the damage in the meantime…
I also strongly appose the restriction of free speech is not coming from governments
Social media CEOs in trumps administration claiming "free speech" then banning minority speach, UK restricting protest laws etc
... because government are the ones with the power to control the narrative and our ability to protest and have free speech
it’s a nazi regime.
Americans working in manufacturing are going to bear the brunt and lose their jobs. Because of #trump
Let them scream and if they don't like it they can emigrate to america.
