Supremely well put by a former Tory minister, Chair of the party, EU Commissioner and last Governor of Hong Kong, among others. This should be required listening.
SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten.
"I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

@georgemonbiot.bsky.social raises an important question about the corruption of the justice system. Why was not one farmer arrested for blocking roads & bringing the whole country to a standstill? Climate protesters are in prison, farmers aren’t, why? What happened to equality under the law?

America is clearly not safe to travel to.

Note that it was a joint US-Canada-Mexico bid that won… so Canada and Mexico have serious leverage here.
🇲🇽 🇨🇦 v 🇺🇸
Failing that - mass boycott will cost the US more than it earns.
