So I always think of the example of during the summer of BLM when we had protesters in this country in London.

in front of police officers saying hands up don't shoot in front of cops that don't carry guns it's good like that's not a real thing you've just downloaded the meme yeah and you're misapplying it here about something that really doesn't affect british people in anything like the same way And I think that possibility is there. I hope it's there.

One of the fascinating things as well, and this is actually something Francis, my co-host on Trigonometry pointed out, is if you look at the... the kind of the lineup of the Trump campaign.
