A company fined £90m for 1,000s of illegal sewage dumps.

Why would LEGO® IDEAS want to be part of that?

For those saying the ECHR is out of date…no.

It was built *exactly* for times like this.

Guarantees of human rights are not built for when the going is easy. They are built for when the going gets harder and bad leaders try to whip up their nations to do bad things.
