The Banksy mural at the Royal Courts of Justice, and the events that preceded it, reminded me of the track "Stop the City" by the 1980s punk band Conflict, off their "Increase the Pressure" album.

Some people punch fascists. Others kiss them.
Joe Biden in the White House kissing fascist Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni on the head, possibly mistaking her for an ice cream cone.

What's striking about the DNC freakout over the MI "uncommitted" protest vote is that Obama himself employed this strategy against HRC in 2008 in protest over DNC primary rigging. For all the DNC's fear-mongering about fascism, it remains stubbornly uninterested in actual democracy.
The last time there was a significant effort to get Michigan Democrats to vote for Uncommitted came in 2008. After Michigan defied Democratic National Committee rules by moving its primary up in the nominating calendar that year, Barack Obama’s campaign, which was not on the ballot, urged supporters to vote for Uncommitted as a proxy against Hillary Clinton. About 40 percent of Democratic primary voters that year chose Uncommitted against Mrs. Clinton and three other candidates. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/14/us/politics/biden-michigan-gaza-uncommitted.html

Some countries understand quality of life better than others.

People in France, Italy, Greece, and Spain spend more than two hours per day eating and drinking. The US comes in last place, with barely one hour per day.
