He's being a demagogue using the will of the people to get his will done. Don't worry.
(for the word "demagogue" you can interpret it literally as "leader" or "exploiter" of the people)
The United Colonies of Earth exists:
to encourage settlement of all habitable worlds in the Galaxy and perhaps the Universe by the human race;
to ensure that human rights are respected, with force if necessary, and that all nations recognize the inevitable and unalienable rights of all human beings regardless of their individual and harmless differences, or Idiosyncrasies;
to represent the interests of all humankind to other sapient species;
to protect all humanity and its’ colonies from unneeded violence or danger;
to promote technological advancement and scientific achievement for the happiness, knowledge and welfare of all humans;
and to facilitate cooperation in the spheres of law, transportation, communication, and measurement between nation-states.

Depends, are you wearing your top hat and tails, do you own a monocle, is it afternoon tea and why no corgi.

I would make all foreigners wear explosive tags that can be remotely blown up if they do something illegal.
If the UK governed all of humanity and foreigners were literally aliens.

Yes; ironed by my fiery red headed Scottish maid/mistress; everyone who isn't a philistine owns a monocle, come on now; of course; it'll attract the Welsh and I need to protect the sheep out back.

questers raises a good point. the daily mail does not prepare new immigrants for the chucklevision segment of the brit-test '16
ask moderation about reading serious moderation candidates TGs without telling them about it until afterwards and/or apparently refusing to confirm/deny the exact timeline of TG reading ~~~ i hope you never sent any of the recent mods or the ones that got really close anything personal!

signature edit: confirmation has been received. they will explicitly do it before and without asking. they can look at TGs basically whenever they want so please keep this in mind when nominating people for moderator or TGing good posters/anyone!
