"... The Bidoons have been trapped in near sixty years of administrative ethnic cleansing as the world, as it so often does, remains quiet. An inconvenient reality from one of the UK's main trade partners with some £3.5 billion in mutual trade in 2018 alone.

Once again, instead of using science for making our lives easier, it is being used to defend the interests of the states and its high classes.
