Follow the 'free speech' logic
liberal criticism of conservatives is reponsible for violence against them
but it's an unacceptable limit on free speech for the UK to criminalise people who directly call for burning asylum-seekers to death
Here we go. Trump just made it unmistakably clear that it will now be absolutely open season on whoever they decide to label "the left," and that this will be pursued with the full force of the government. This could get very, very bad.
A viral video has claimed that from 12 September, UK supermarkets won’t allow shoppers to enter unless they have a government-issued photo ID.

Important note at this point. There is not in fact evidence that the UK did particularly well with the Trump administration because of Lord Mandelson. Our trade deal was pretty similar to that of the EU in the end.
For the political obituaries.
