Oh, you’re an American.

Say what you will about the US. It's far from perfect. But their legal model for human rights is more robust than many of their peer countries. The fact that free speech is constitutionally protected there is good thing and the fact that free speech is dependent on majority support is a weakness of the UK system; that is, after all, how the UK got themselves into this current situation.

(I'm not American btw, and I'm by no means a big fan of the US. But still, you have to give credit where credit is due.)

In a court of law, the most the ant could get for this is manslaughter. Very likely though he would get off with a mere wreckless endangerment charge

Some heavy bass would still be cool though

Yeah things are really looking bleak over there. That plus their recent attacks on free speech (you can get arrested for supporting "Palestinian action") paint a very dystopian picture for the future of the UK

Anecdotally, most current or former homeschooled kids I meet seem pretty socially awkward. I wonder if It's because the miss-out on the opportunity to learn how to socialize properly as children. But maybe I'm being too critical, idk.

Are there any issues with having pet squirrels? Not that I'd want to adopt one for the sake of it, but if you have to rescue one like OP is there any issue with just adopting it as a pet?

What are the odds that the EU would actually accept the UK as a potential member state again? I would assume that they'd just say sorry, missed your chance
