The distance between #Dublin and #London is only 464 km (288 miles), #asthecrowflies. The two capital cities are in a Common Travel Area.

But as #GretaThunberg learnt today, it's about a million miles in politics.

In Dublin, #PresidentConnolly regards the #genocide in #Gaza as a horror. But in London, the #CityOfLondonPolice treat opposition to genocide as #Terrorism. So #Greta went from a presidential welcome in #Ireland to arrest in #England / #UK.

Under the heading "Greta Thunberg's Tale of Cities",  there are two photographs. 

To the left, dated "Dublin, 17th December", is a photo of Greta Thunberg with President Catherine Connolly. Underneath is he caption "Welcomed at Áras an Uachtaráin by President Connolly, to support Greta's opposition to the genocide in Gaza".

To the right, dated "London, 23 December", is a photo of Greta Thunbtg being led away by police officers.  The caption reads "Arrested by City of London Police under the Terrorism Act for opposing the genocide in Gaza".

So according to the UK government, Greta Thunberg is now a dangerous terrorist.

I'm beginning to think the UK government may have lost its moral compass.
