Europe, including the UK (natch), should join as one to say “fuck right off Trump and stick your tariffs where the sun don’t shine”.
He can’t just have free rein dictating to the rest of the World what we should do or don’t do in his ugly favour.

Lots to be shocked about here. One, there are people in this world that think nothing of boiling animals alive. Two, they are up in arms at this change in the law. Three, they claim it’s an attack on their heritage. It’s the end of a barbaric practice is what it is.
