Of course the contrast between Bristol here and Burma over there is vast. There, a bullet in the head, here arrest, court and decent treatment for breaking the law. Poor people. https://apnews.com/article/aung-san-suu-kyi-min-aung-hlaing-myanmar-5bd5fd1e20adc5c5e16a0bb2a3db3102 (I've put this in foreign policing news as the Security Forces are heavily implicated).
