The UAE where hugging in public can get you arrested, where human rights barely exist, where foreign workers are routinely abused, where critics of the regime routinely disappear, where an Indian nanny was shot by firing squad in March & where marital rape is not a criminal offence but being gay is.

Here's Nick Griffin - British National Party leader in 2009 - complaining that the BBC Question Time audience he faced was "dominated by ethnic minorities."
He was criticised at the time by just about everyone.
Nowadays they'd be discussing what he meant on #R4today

![He went on: "That audience was taken from a
city that is no longer British ... That was not
my country any more. Why not come down
and do it in Thurrock, do it in Stoke, do it in
Burnley?
"Do it somewhere where there are still
significant numbers of English and British
people [living], and they haven't been
ethnically cleansed from their own country.'](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5mqpgxjffcckasqv7h6g7itu/bafkreiao5ksznkdgvtgha2b2jqxw4s3ijlyhjtiywh5l5eg6oto5hexdli@jpeg)

Troops to Portland? Illegal and absurd. But the absurdity is the point. Trump policy is to ignore real threats to US security coming from abroad and use the armed forces to pursue imaginary threats from within, thereby creating an atmosphere suitable for personal rule. (1/2)

Israeli military announces move in Gaza City as it steps up attacks before planned offensive
Israel’s military will no longer pause fighting to allow aid deliveries in Gaza City, a military spokesperson has said, in a decision likely to deepen the famine already gripping the north of the territory.
Israeli forces have been stepping up attacks in and around Gaza City as the military prepares for a ground operation that humanitarian groups and many of Israel’s closest allies have warned will be catastrophic for hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians already struggling to survive hunger, disease and Israeli attacks.
