Polanski presents actual opposition to illegal Iran war

Green Party leader Zack Polanski has slammed prime minister Keir Starmer’s weakness as war criminals Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu wage war on Iran. He rightly said the UK overwhelmingly opposes the reckless, unprovoked, regime-change war. But establishment voices, including Reform’s Nigel Farage, think differently.

The UK opposes US-Israeli terror in Iran

As is often the case, it seems the far right wants war and everyone else doesn’t. Even Labour voters, despite the flailing leadership of Trump–bootlicker Keir Starmer, oppose it:

So that’s half the people surveyed that oppose US-Israeli terror in Iran, which has already killed 555 people (including “about 180 young children”). And while many people want the UK to step carefully to avoid provoking the volatile Trump or appearing to support Iran’s government, they’re pretty confident that the UK should just stay out of it.

Israel-lover and posh-boy Trump-imitator Nigel Farage, however, unsurprisingly seems to think the UK should waste money and risk lives on another unwinnable conflict abroad. But considering the amount of opposition in British society to such military interventions, some suggest this position could end up being a problem for Farage:

The establishment media doesn’t seem to be far behind either. It’s already debating, for example, whether the increasingly authoritarian Labour government should ban anti-war protests:

The Green Party – the UK’s main opposition to Reform in the polls – has been clear in its opposition of Trump’s illegal attacks on Iran. And as Polanski has said, political reactions show the choice voters face:

Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.

The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables.

Solar and wind prices don’t fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.

There’s little faith that Starmer will stand up to Trump. But the Greens have been pushing him to anyway:

If the UK really doesn’t want another repeat of disastrous past interventions, we need to say loudly and clearly: we do not want this war! And we need to make sure the government can’t ignore our voices again.
