Mark Curtis: Did you know? The UK...

Did you know? The UK only agreed to the treaty establishing the International Criminal Court when it was clear it would not criminalise the use of nuclear weapons. (This is the kind of state Britain is, not the one that appears on the BBC.)

Burnham telling the UN that Britain is the US's closest ally at a time when the psycho in the White House is threatening to annihilate Iran, shows it again -- our leaders are our biggest threat.

Incredible that British officials and ministers have been actively supporting these fanatical Israeli ministers for decades.

Mark Curtis: Oh Lord, the UK establishment...

Oh Lord, the UK establishment is now going to debate the wisdom of imposing a trade ban on illegal settlements being increasingly built by a genocidal foreign power. Such a tricky one. British elite society is a basket case.

It’s nearly 3 years since Israel’s genocide began and Whitehall officials/ministers are still just briefing the media about banning trade from illegal settlements. It’s excruciating and laughable. Britain needs a governance revolution.

Mark Curtis: Burnham has sent a message...

Burnham has sent a message to the Saudi ruler but it isn’t reported what it is. I’m going to stick my neck out and say Burnham’s promised to deepen military relations with the dictatorship. Because if he doesn’t say that, he won’t be PM for much longer.

The fact it's going to take "weeks" for Whitehall to work out its response to a bunch of genocidal mass-murderers tells you everything you need to know about UK foreign policy.

It’s quite funny that the Home Office is investigating CodePink for maybe taking funds from someone connected to China while half the Cabinet and a quarter of MPs have been funded by the Israel lobby.

The Telegraph is putting out laughable pro-Israel agitprop practically every day now, a sign of how genocidal Israel is being utterly exposed everywhere else.

Look at the MPs who laughably claim a debate on pro-Israel influence in Britain is anti-Semitic and who didn’t declare their own funding from the Israel lobby. 👇

Never forget — MI6 under Starmer literally put in power a former Al Qaeda terrorist (in Syria) then Starmer changed UK law to designate protesters as terrorists for opposing Israeli genocide.

The problem is Starmer will be allowed to leave office as just another politician, with impunity, rather than being pursued as a criminal who used the power of the state to support a genocide. We know our system is designed to protect these people, we just have to change it.

Just think how much AgitProp has been done by the UK’s ideological media institutions over months and years to get the point where a party leader can actually propose to “cut welfare to fund defence”.

Mark Curtis: After Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya & Syria…

After Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya & Syria you might think it a tad difficult to justify the existence of the UK military at all let alone more spending on it. Shame we can’t transform the military from the armed wing of UK oligarchy to a benign national & int’l defence force.

I reflect on impunity for UK ministers and why defence secretary John Healey is still at large after authorising British military support for Israel during a genocide (begins around 14.30).

Mark Curtis: Major article by @StarmertheFraud…

Major article by @StarmertheFraud . “But Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government is not really a Labour government; it came to power on the back of a secret project to wrest control of the Labour Party back from an ascendant left wing. This secret project was resourced by illegally undeclared money from wealthy donors, funneled through a seemingly anodyne think tank called Labour Together. It involved covertly seeding promiscuous claims of antisemitism against political opponents, attempting to silence independent media that threatened to expose its project, and—ultimately—developing the dishonest leadership pitch that allowed Keir Starmer to trick a left-wing membership to elect him leader”.

Mark Curtis: Most key issues about UK foreign policy…

Most key issues about UK foreign policy are unmentionable in the ‘mainstream’. A major one is that Whitehall supports Israel’s gradual takeover of Palestine. The govt of course can’t say this because it wants to be seen to uphold the international law that it constantly violates.

It’s so hilarious how the British corporate media report US/UK relations. The reality is that this is undoubtedly the world’s most violent and lawless bilateral alliance in global affairs since 1945. The British public is always fed fairy tales about it.

Mark Curtis: It’s quite funny that in the British system…

It’s quite funny that in the British system a PM is now under real political pressure over the issue of Mandelson’s vetting, after being firmly in position for nearly 2 years of complicity in genocide. Is there a German word for this?

The govt has appointed a new Prevent commissioner who will no doubt look into the radicalisation of UK ministers backing Israeli terrorism. He was appointed by security minister Dan Jarvis, who is a Labour Friend of Israel. You have to admit, UK governance is genuinely funny.
