I'm glad I don't live in this fictitious Europe/UK that seems to be circling in the header of Trump/Musk/Twitter. It's like some cheap Sci-Fi story where in a parallel Universe an identical but evil mirror of our own world exists.
Just look at Vance's basis for his lecture eg Vance claimed that in Scotland people living within an abortion clinic safe access zone praying in private in their own homes would be breaking the law! Reality: This is an untruth perpetrated by a Conservative Christian Tick-Tock'er. Private prayer at home is not prohibited within safe access zones and no letter has ever suggested it was.
eg the example Vance quoted from the UK of a protester arrested and convicted for breaking the anti-protect safe zone around a Bournemouth abortion clinic. Reality is he was warned, Police spent 1hr 40 mins trying to get him to leave and he refused so he was arrested and convicted because he was breaking the law n.b. the convicted protester was being supported by the Alliance Defending Freedom International (an American conservative Christian legal advocacy group).
Still, at least our European & UK leaders understand the difference between "Purchase taxes" and "Import Duties" ie the individual setting US tax policy, trade policy, etc. doesn't seem to understand the difference!
