Far from the madding crowds... Politics, society, culture and stuff. Views from the shores of the Baltic
Regardless of what measures you take the far right will always talk up the threat and demand new action. It's how you end up with concentration camps.
It's soul destroying to see leading politicians failing to grasp this.
(And it's why @zackpolanski.bsky.social is such a breath of fresh air.)

In the face of threats from across the pond it would be nice to see the BBC respond with well researched content on the criminality, cruelty, corruption and unconstitutional authoritarianism taking place in the US.
Don't appease. Shine a spotlight on it.

It is unacceptable that members of congress in response to a President repeatedly ignoring Congress is to give him political cover to keep doing that. Appeasement doesn’t work with wannabe strongmen, they know you’ll cave so they’ll do it again. Have some dignity and stand for something
