Donald Trump has stated many times that he will not follow NATO rules, that he will not defend anywhere else.
Why are we still in NATO which is run by the USA to defend themselves and make massive profits for their War Industry?
It needs to be replaced.

A terrible idea (naive, prejudiced and uninformed) that has deeply divided us and left us poorer and less secure… but unwilling to face up to the damage we’ve done to ourselves. While the EU moves on.

The campaign group Defend Our Juries said Thunberg's arrest could signal "a new level of repression", questioning whether police had misapplied the ban on Palestine Action or whether expressions of support for detained activists were now being treated as terrorism offences.

Absolutely and the rights and restrictions associated with it should be widely publicised and understood. That is still not the case in the U.K.
Which is precisely why the strategy from the UK (if it can be called a strategy) is so dumb. Instead of keep saying "we will not accept FoM", they should make the positive case for it. Once FoM is detoxified in the UK a range of possibilities open up.
