Keir Starmer’s ‘Defence’ Secretary John Healey has used the VE Day celebrations to attack Russian president Vladimir Putin for “hitting Kyiv with missiles last night and killing civilians as he has done throughout this conflict”:
Leaving aside the fact that Ukraine has repeatedly bombed Russian cities and killed Russian civilians, Healey made no mention of the fact that, as writer Saul Staniforth pointed out, Israel killed at least ninety-nine Palestinian civilians in Gaza just yesterday.
Israel murdered more civilians in Gaza in bombing and missile attacks last night, drops more bombs every day, has killed more than two hundred thousand civilians since October 2023 – including more than a hundred thousand children – and is maintaining its two-month-long starvation blockade on Gaza that has killed many children and has put almost three hundred thousand on the brink of death from malnutrition. It also bombed – and boasted about completely destroying – Yemen’s main international airport this week, including the targeting of civilian airliners.
None of that got a mention either.
The British armed forces that Healey oversees are directly assisting in Israel’s genocide, providing illegal arms and spy flights to the occupation military that is bombing and starving civilians and children, while Keir Starmer’s government wages war on those who expose and oppose the genocide, including many Jewish people. He didn’t bring either of those facts up.
He and his boss Keir Starmer are not only complicit hypocrites, but active collaborators, in Israel’s genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

John Healey loves War, but he couldn’t possible agree with a former defence minister of Israel, Yoav Galant, could he?
Surely Palestinians are NOT “human animals,” John Healey?
Surely Palestinians are NOT “human animals,”
In public, he and the Labour front bench would say “Obviously not.” In their deeds, they scream They are!”
“I see no ships.” Wilful blindness of war criminal proportions
“Leaving aside the fact that Ukraine has repeatedly bombed Russian cities and killed Russian civilians,….”
Let’s call a spade a spade here.
Because just like with the Zionist Israeli Regime’s genocidal slaughter in Gaza, and the “Moderate” Jihadist head choppers rape, pillage and mass murder in Syria, the death of those Russian citizens were carried out with British (as well as US/French and other EU) supplied munitions, money, backing, targeting data and active support.
Moreover, in this case those British Storm Shadows and other weapons were not operated by the knuckle dragging Ukrainian neo-Nazi dominated armed forces personnel but British personnel because the Ukrainians are neither trained nor authorised to operate such systems.
And that is only the half of it. Because last August’s incursion into Kursk – Russian territory – was publicly acknowledged as a British operation, particularly by our bestest friend, the USA (led at the time by Biden).
Which, as well as leading to some 75,000 UAF and mercenaries being KIA, also resulted in the systematic killing of many Russian civilians in the Kursk region – just as has been happening in the Donbass since 2014 for the same reasons – they are considered Russian “Orcs” by the propagandised Ukrainian Regime and its personnel.
Any way you cut those facts, they represent a deliberate act of war on the part of the British Establishment. If the Russians were lobbing munitions at the British Isles killing British civilians using a nearby third party proxy they had trained and equipped, Parliament would have demanded a nuclear response years ago. Sauce for the goose and all that.
The Telegraph were mardy arsing the other day that the RF poses some sort of direct threat but neglecting to mention – because it’s inconvenient to the propaganda narrative they are trying to scare the naive and the terminally gullible with – that the UK has been lobbying Storm Shadows and other missiles into Russia for some time as though nineteenth century ‘gunboat diplomacy’ is a God given right (as well as a viable option) because, you know, WE (we being the Rupert’s in charge and those muppets dumb enough to fall for their bullshit patter) are English.
Though quite why a deindustrialised little island – along with the continent of Europe – which has next to nothing in terms of mineral and other resources and which has developed over five centuries through plundering the rest of the planet – would be of interest to an underpopulated country which is the largest land mass on the planet and is so awash with resources that it’s an autarky is a very obvious question no one bothers to consider.
Fact is, we have nothing they need or want. Whereas, the opposite is the case. Hence the current situation.
Go figure.
Healey and the wider gang of degenerates he is a part of are unlikely to last till 2029 the rate they are performing, and a sane society would be hauling their sorry arses up before a Nuremberg style tribunal before their arrogant exceptionalism sinks the Country financially, socially and physically.
🥱
Yet another profound remark from the resident nonce apologist AND enabler who doesn’t even deny what he (or rather, IT) is.
Be quiet, nonce case.
Toffee – Why would I waste my time writing an essay when a single emoji is suffice to convey what I think.
As for your disappointing saddo nonsense, you’re the one who is making a show of yourself by telling lies that we both know you can’t substantiate. You really should grow up a bit. 😞
No one is interested in what keeps your ears apart, Billy.
All you are achieving with these knee-jerk emotional reactions is demonstrating to everyone that you have no counterarguments to substantiate your untenable evidence free opinions.
What an empty, vacuous vessel you present.
Which is fine by everyone else because with every infantile post all you achieve is undermining your own worthless arguments.
Dave – “No one is interested in what keeps your ears apart,”
Really, is that why you are still following me around like a needy stray dog begging for some attention? 😏
You are the one who hit the reply button, Billy, and who keeps demanding answers to your inane evidence free babble.
Who throws libellous evidence free allegations about like confetti and refuses point-blank to either substantiate those smears or apologies. Consequently, you will continue to be challenged and trolled back until you learn some manners.
Besides which, I have not yet concluded the point you replied to.
Because the contextual background to that point is covered in this piece today by former CIA analyst Larry Johnson:
https://sonar21.com/the-russians-remember-the-great-patriotic-war-the-us-does-not/
The salient section being this:
“I want to pose a question to my fellow American citizens, but first let me set the parameters. At the start of World War II in 1939, the population of the United States was approximately 130 million people. By way of comparison, the population of Russia and Ukraine (where the bulk of the battles with the Nazis were fought) was 150 million (110 million Russians and 40 million Ukrainians). In other words, Russia lost 20% of their population in World War II, while the US, in the war with the Nazis, lost .1%. So here is the question… How would Americans have reacted after losing 20% of their population in a war with Germany, and our Russian allies began a program at the end of that war that recruited and hired German officers as intelligence assets? Would that piss you off? Would that make you question Russia’s intentions with respect to US national security?
Viewed in this light, we get a whole new spin on the start of the Cold War. Because that is exactly what the United States did courtesy of Operation Paperclip. Operation Paperclip was a secret U.S. intelligence program launched in 1945 to recruit German scientists, engineers, and technicians—many of whom had worked for Nazi Germany—and bring them to the United States after World War II. But we did more than that. The OSS, later replaced by the CIA, recruited and managed a horde of former SS officers specifically for their expertise in running spies against the Soviet Union.
As the Russian people assemble on May 9 to remember the enormous sacrifice of their fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers and great grand parents, they also remember that the United States, despite being an ally in the war to end Hitler, quickly pivoted after that war and began targeting the Soviet Union. They remember, we don’t.”
If you have any evidence which challenges these and the previous facts presented, let’s hear them, Billy rather than sticking your tongue out and whining like a mardy five-year-old which merely demonstrates an inability on your part to respond like a grown up.
Yes, and Starmer wants the UK to supply ‘peace-keeping’ troops for the Ukraine—a very obvious ploy to ensure that the war continues.
Also, as if Healey and Starmer actually care about the people of Ukraine. They most definitely do not.
As for your disappointing saddo nonsense, you’re the one who is making a show of yourself by telling lies that we both know you can’t substantiate.
That right?
All’s anyone need do is type ‘dewey’ into the search box, click on the links, and look at your posts.
They’ll see who it is making a case, time after time, for the defence of pederasts.
Or perhaps they could look at the child benefit cap & free school meals threads. (Both during covid, and as soon as keef slimed his way into #10)
There, they’ll see who made the case for keef to allow children to go to school hungry.
If I was you, I wouldn’t accuse people of unsubstantiated claims, wrong’un.
Not until you tell us which posters (plural) you say ‘abandoned corbyn to vote tory’ in 2019, for starters.
“As for your disappointing saddo nonsense, you’re the one who is making a show of yourself by telling lies that we both know you can’t substantiate.2
Must admit, I missed that bit.
That’s akin to Dracula accusing someone else of being a bloodsucker.
The nonce makes it all about himself.
He’s already confessed – several times- that the reason he posts is to get a rise off people.
Then, when they bite, he complains he’s being stalked and bullied.
But of course, WHY would HE care what WE think?
He’ll insist on posting snarmerist toerag policies on a socialist website.
…And you WILL take notice. But it ISNT about what others think of his tripe; it’s about him… and keef
He’s not a nonce, but he’ll insist on making a vehement defence of any and all cases of sexual offences by smarmerist politicians.
He IS however, an infantile weirdo.
Look how he holds his hands at the start. Perhaps he could start a new career as a Tommy Cooper impersonator.
