UK PM still silent over Handala abductions, just as he was silent over Israel’s pirating of UK ship Madleen
UK citizen Chloé Ludden is one of the crew members of the Freedom Flotilla humanitarian vessel Handala who were attacked and abducted on Saturday night by Israeli troops in international waters – an act of blatant piracy. The ship is now being taken to Israel.
In a pre-recorded video, Chloé had a request to her supporters to put pressure on red-Tory PM Keir Starmer to act against the rogue (and pirate) coloniser-state:
The Handala’s immediate predecessor, the Madleen, was a UK-flagged vessel, obliging the UK government and military to protect it from attack – yet Starmer said and did nothing when the ship was similarly attacked and its crew abducted, imprisoned and abused.
This abdication of Britain’s legal duties and the rights of British citizens for the sake of protecting Israel’s interests is treasonous. Put pressure on Starmer to act – even sharing this article will bring it to his social media timeline.

As I’ve said before – in respect of the last episode – if Russia had done something like this, Starmer and Lammy would have been screaming blue murder and condemning Putin of course, and so would most of the MSM. But when it’s their mass murdering baby killer buddy Netanyahu, well, they don’t mind at all.
It’s off topic, but this is essential viewing – ie a video of Clare Daly giving a speech at a meeting in the Irish Parliament, posted four weeks ago, about the EU fascists clamping down on free speech re Palestinian supporters, and it’s really serious stuff, and on a par with Starmer and Co proscribing Palestine Action as terrorists:
THEY CALLED ME A RUSSIAN PROPAGANDIST — for telling the truth – CLARE DALY

Just to emphasise where we are in terms of the outlawing (sanctions) against those who challenge The Official Narratives and its impact, Daly spells it out at 16 minutes 55 seconds:
“This guy (a journalist outlawed/sanctioned for reporting on the Palestine Genocide in Germany) explained it, and he said I haven’t been charged with anything. I haven’t stood trial. I haven’t been found guilty of any crime. I’ve no chance to defend myself.
But the EU sanctioned me for my pro-Palestinian journalism and stripped me of my rights.
I’m not allowed to buy food.
I’m not allowed to buy medicine for my children.
I’m not allowed to pay for my lawyer.
I’m not allowed to leave the country I live in.
I’m not allowed to enter the country I live in.
I’m not allowed to get a job.
I’m not allowed to make payments.
I’m not allowed to receive payments.
I’m not allowed to pay my rent.
Every single time for every case I have to submit a file and ask permission, and then I have to wait several days for approval.
And in case any of you are feeling a bit sorry for him and think that you might send him a few bob just to help him out, well I’d be very careful about that because you too could then be sanctioned (outlawed) for the crime of circumventing a sanction from the European Union and you could find yourself on a sanction list as well”
No due process. No innocent until proven guilty. No testing of evidence. Simply punishment by fiat for challenging Official Narratives and policies.
The “Rules Based Order” does not only operate at international level against any country or people designated by the self-identifying “Garden” as part of the “Jungle” it also operates internally against any expression or act which deviates from the officially approved narratives and policies.
And there are still people around who argue this is ‘democracy’ and anything else is “authoritarian” and “dictatorship”.
Great article by Jonathan Cook, posted a couple of days ago, with lots of details pre October 7th which I’d not heard before:
No, Piers. It was a genocide in Gaza from day one. Here’s why

“I don’t describe myself as a zionist. But I understand and I sympathise and I support Zionism”
Kier Starmer
Dave Yes the Right Wing German Govt & its previous Right Wing SPD Govt have been appalling on Gaza and their arms companies (like Rhinemetal) profits are going through the roof as they are complicit in Genocide and their leaders too need to be in front of the ICJ.
But the German Right Wing Govt needs to
remember it was German Big Business that got the Nazis over the line!
And here with the brave UK citizen Chloe Ludden & all the crew we need to contact all our MPs urgently to ask as the song goes: “What yer do about it!”
There’s something odd with Rheinmetal AG, Bazza: Hardly a conventional company subject to conventional governance.
Insiders, such as members of the board of directors and company executives, do not appear to hold a significant amount of shares, based on available data.
This lack of insider ownership might imply that the board and management are not as closely aligned with other shareholders in terms of financial interests.

Evidence – were it needed – that unknown, unaccountable ‘institutional investors’ are the net beneficiaries of globalist capitalism. They’re out to get you (not serve you!)
Chloé Ludden resigned to join the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and protest Israel’s blockade of Gaza. She is currently detained by Israeli forces after the Handala interception.
Starmer? It doesn’t seem to bother him. He’s an unprincipled scoundrel (or worse). He’s adamant though, Israel has a right to defend itself and/or MURDER 2 million-plus occupied residents in Gaza.
Chloé Fiona Ludden was a former United Nations staff member and scientist before resigning from the UN to join the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She left her position in protest against the institutional inaction as Palestinians in Gaza continued to be bombed, starved, and erased by Israel and their allies with impunity.

Qwerty, I am not surprised that Starmer isn’t protesting about Chloé’s illegal detention by Israel and ignoring it.
I am not going to be surprised either, if once she is deported by Israel and allow to come to the UK, Starmer’s government charges her with terrorism, detains her without bail under prevention of terrorism to wait her trial for the next 2 years at least.
Nor me, Starmer’s vicious that way!
I’ve been trying to find out which UN function she worked for and resigned from to join the Freedom Flotilla. It’s maybe significant.!! Not sure, maybe someone will find out….
qwerty – According to the Daily Mail “Ms Ludden previously worked as a scientist for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the UN’s body for the science around climate change. ”

Keef did piss-all when they murdered those three British aid workers.
A kidnapping isn’t gonna make him lift a finger, nevermind tut.
