"I served in the Royal Air Force for 19 years. I feel it's important to be here because, whether or not you agree with the tactics of Palestine Action and others, the reality is that our government is complicit in genocide at the highest level"

Yes, things were rotten before. But it was such a breathtaking breach of trust and display of impunity that it broke something subtle but crucial: a belief that, for all their faults, our societies are broadly democratic. The breach has only widened since. As trust collapses, demagogues prosper. 2/3
