The story was always already about an impoverished unmarried couple facing a pitiless bureaucracy, having a baby in a barn, and then having to hide from a tyrant. The baby grew up to say that the poor were blessed and the neighbor is he who shows mercy. You can’t hide from the politics of all that.
This year, statues of tall men clad in all black with masks drawn up to hide their faces are disrupting the serenity of a Charlotte church's Nativity scene.
The figures are depicted approaching the Holy Family and the Wise Men with handcuffs as if preparing to make an arrest.

Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any government to say who those rights should & should not apply to. Because none of us then has rights, just privileges that can be taken away by those in power

Reform UK Ltd. The "party" of the common people. They're not even a political party ...
There's a word for selling political influence for cash... (sadly Reform aren't the first to do so)

Corruption doesn’t start with brown envelopes. It starts with dinners, boxes at events, and a slow drip of temptation that normalises privilege and bends politics toward wealth.
