I'd like that too. I wish the world could all tell Trump to fuck off to a retirement home prison where he belongs.

But the pragmatic part of me thinks like how I've already expressed above. I've seen multiple recessions, and it's always the normal people that get hit hardest and recover slowest. The UK getting into a spat with the US over Venezuela isn't worth that - particularly not when there's no way our words will have any impact anyway.

One of the many examples of realpolitik getting in the way of doing the most righteous thing.
