-and it will of course continue: it's the very least anyone can do.

I really don't know how they can get away with this.
How can voicing a moral stance on choice that has no encouragement to either hate or violence actually be illegal?

Or: UK to ban boycotts and sanctions but encourage+impose them if US tells 'em to.

So all those protestors(not!) demanding that the West's consumers/voters and governments boycott Russian gas, oil, sunflower oil, caviar, vodka etc will be arrested - protests broken up - with the same levels of police zeal and brutality as BDS protests/protestors.

Oh goody.

So Russia, Russians are banned but you can't even campaign for boycott against Israel - nm
