How leaders allow little officials to be cruel

This is a brilliant article that appears in today's Guardian.

Guardian columnist, Emma Brockes captures almost perfectly the mood in that room, the horrible nasty behaviour of the officials, their sarcasm, the fear of the Hispanic group of men.

But one would have to experience it before she/he could really understand what's happening in the world right in front of our eyes.

And this hatred is all the time being egged on by populist right-wing leaders.

These officials have suddenly been given an importance or significance that is allowing them to behave in such a manner.
