UK should not be pursuing a trade deal with a country involved in blatant human rights violations, like disappearing folks to a foreign gulag.

By "free speech," the Americans mean creating a media environment in your country dominated by American digital fascism preparatory to right-wing regime change. Vance essentially said as much in Munich. Give in now, forget about sovereignty later. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
