Donald Trump and Aung San Suu Kyi have more in common than you might think.
The leaders of the United States and Myanmar are both aged the wrong side of 70, both have much-discussed hair and share a strong dislike of journalists.
Mr Trump's turbulent relationship with the media is covered extensively. Ms Suu Kyi's may come as a surprise.
"The Lady", as she's known here, became famous in the 1990s as an icon of human rights and democracy. While under military-enforced house arrest in Rangoon, reporters took great risks to speak to her, to hear her courageous story of resistance.
Now Ms Suu Kyi is in power, things are rather different.
She has created a powerful role for herself called State Counsellor to fulfil a promise of being "above the President". In practice that seems to also mean "above" public scrutiny.
Nevertheless, it doesn’t go far enough in unequivocally condemning the genocide and putting pressure on British Government to ensure that these brutal attacks on Muslims are stopped, immediately.
We remind Muslims in Britain that the conflict is still ongoing and for them to do everything in their power to assist Muslims in Burma, a suggestive plan of action is given below:
