Starmer maintains the UK is not involved as drones say otherwise

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has announced that the UK shot down multiple Iranian drones in a ‘high threat area’ overnight on April 4. This is despite Starmer repeatedly claiming that the country will not back up the US and Israel’s illegal attacks on Iran.

The announcement also states that:

UK Typhoons and F-35 jets, supported by Voyager and Royal Navy Merlin and Wildcat helicopters, have continued their defensive missions over the Eastern Mediterranean, Jordan, Bahrain and UAE.

Did the MOD finally admit that the UK is backing up Israel and the US? Or is this still Starmer’s idea of ‘not involved’ and ‘defensive actions’?

Starmer dragging UK into illegal war

Either way, it seems that Starmer’s words and actions are not quite matching up, which is nothing new. However, his actions are dragging the UK even further into the wrong side of an illegal war. 

What is Starmer’s definition of ‘involved’? Someone should throw a dictionary at his head.

Make your mind up

Since the middle of March, the US military has been loading large explosives into B-1 Lancer bombers at RAF Fairford in Gloucester. The government has attempted to cover this up – literally, using plastic sheeting and fencing. However, there is no hiding 2,000lb bombs.

The US is also using RAF Lakenheath and Mildenhall in Suffolk, and Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.

Seems a little bit like the UK directly supporting war crimes to me?

To make matters worse, Byline Times then linked the components used in the Tomahawk missiles which hit a girls’ school in Mibab, to two defence companies with a strong presence in the UK – BAE Systems and Raytheon.

The US missiles murdered around 165 school girls on February 28 in a double-tap attack. The second missile killed sheltering survivors, two first responders, and the parent of a murdered child.

Whilst these were provided by private companies, rather than the government, both hold extensive contracts with the UK government for military equipment.

Priorities

As usual, the UK government is spending money on illegal wars that no one supports, instead of funding vital public services.

But Starmer will never stick up to Trump. Imagine putting innocent people in harm’s way for the sake of an orange nonce.

Starmer uses the same bullshit definition of ‘not being involved’ as Donald Trump does when he talks about the Epstein Files. It’s bullshit. Is it even a case of Starmer needing to make up his mind? Or is it more like Starmer lying to the public and thinking we’re all too thick to notice?
