Donald Trump is a dangerous, warmongering fascist president who has shown contempt for international law and human rights while inflicting terror upon people across the Middle East.
The answer to anger and insecurity is investment in our communities, decent jobs, affordable homes, properly funded public services and a politics that brings people together rather than tearing them apart.
The UK Government and the courts have criminalised conscience and sent a chilling message to anyone willing to speak out against injustice.
Those vested interests must never be allowed to come before human rights or the rule of law. We need to know who knew what, when they knew it, and what they did or about it or what they failed to do in response.
