Please repost, if like me, you will never accept Brexit.
It harms the British people. It was obtained through foreign interference and by far the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history, and it robs us of freedom and citizenship.

This segment from @maryannefranks.bsky.social is an incredibly tight argument that captures the breadth of the Trump assault on free speech perfectly and in less than a minute.

WOW. Watch a constitutional law expert completely DEBUNK Republicans’ censorship crusade, while articulating exactly how Donald Trump is threatening freedom of speech. 🔥

Went to see the touring production of A Man For All Seasons.
(Martin Shaw and Gary Wilmot both very good in their respective roles, the latter as the everyman/steward chorus.)
And yes, this exchange hit home - perhaps best exchange about law in drama/film.

Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage said there would be no downsides to leaving the EU. What we got was a smaller economy, less trade, less choice, dearer food and clothing and more complex and more expensive travel.

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.
This man sows hate, lies and division.
He is a grifter and a conman.
He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Oh god. The inevitable Daily Mail tantrum at a Labour govt edging towards a slightly less ruinous relationship with our own continent.
What do these idiotic nationalists want? Permanent hostility? Endless cost and loss?
‘Betraying’ Brexit is an act of patriotic necessity now, you howling clowns.

This is such a valuable, if often misunderstood, perspective, and one that resonates with me from the ~20 yrs I spent in France: the sympathetic and fluent outsider whose very lack of a native lens allows for seeing things in that lens's blind spots.
What sounds like criticism is often affection.

I have no doubt that at least a few people in the UK will find this book by a meddling foreigner a bit presumptious, and read it as a searing critique. Some of it probably is. But it is also a love letter, based of twenty years of trying to see your side.
