Comment on Rare seventeenth century poetry manuscript at risk of exportparent

What makes you think 'goals articulated by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt' (saving others the search I needed) hold any weight over HM Government in the UK?

They may be meant to apply globally, but 'violating' one doesn't mean anything if it's not more than a rousing speech. (i.e. not an international treaty that the UK's signed.)

The four freedoms refer to European trade. http://en.euabc.com/word/506

Ah, thanks. That makes much more sense (I just hadn't heard of it either, and wasn't ranking as highly as Roosevelt for my search).
