Another version:
And everything is flawed, if you want to look at it that way. The
analogy that has helped me most is this: in Hurricane Katrina, hun-
dreds of boat-owners rescued people—single moms, toddlers, grand-
fathers—stranded in attics, on roofs, in flooded housing projects, hos-
pitals, and school buildings. None of them said, I can’t rescue everyone,
therefore it’s futile; therefore my efforts are flawed and worthless, though
that’s often what people say about more abstract issues in which, nev-
ertheless, lives, places, cultures, species, rights are at stake. They went
out there in fishing boats and rowboats and pirogues and all kinds
of small craft, some driving from as far as Texas and eluding the au-
thorities to get in, others refugees themselves working within the
city. There was bumper-to-bumper boat-trailer traffic—the celebrat-
ed Cajun Navy—going toward the city the day after the levees broke.
None of those people said, I can’t rescue them all. All of them said, I can
rescue someone, and that’s work so meaningful and important I will risk my
life and defy the authorities to do it. And they did.

In case you have forgotten who Andy Kim is, he’s the rep who came into the Capitol building after Trump’s J6 goons had trashed it, got down in his hands and knees, and cleaned it up. And ICE have gassed him. They have peppersprayed the true patriot who thinks American ideals are worth defending.

I don't think it's a good idea to legally privilege someone else's discomfort over another person's rights.

The Human Rights Act can be repealed. Judicial review can be narrowed. Electoral law rewritten. In comparable democracies, this requires supermajorities or constitutional amendments. In the UK, it requires parliamentary votes. First-past-the-post compounds this.

Reform is a protest party. A protest against decency, integrity, kindness, expertise, and progress. It's a party of pettiness and hate, and it is made up of petty and hateful people from the grassroots to the very top. What it doesn't have is competence. So good luck with the bins and potholes.
