A fascinating conflict developing in the October 26th elections in Georgia between the rights of "the Georgian LGBT community" (vigorously promoted by the EU) vs the Georgian Orthodox Church's teachings against the promotion of an LGBT "lifestyle"

Something that doesn't make sense to me regarding Brexit/rejoining is the EU Commission insisting on free movement being accepted by the UK whilst, simultaneously, the EU Commission "looking the other way" for decades as EEA nations (including The UK) refused to uphold fundamental rights
