The funny bit is that I don’t at all disagree with the idea of an international independent special court for the crimes of Russia in Ukraine.
I just think the UK shouldn’t be involved in it in any way form or shape, because for anybody who hasn’t been living in the middle of the British Propaganda environment (or pro-Zionist propaganda like in the US) British Governments are painfully double-faced.
This idea coming from the Spaniards or the Irish would be great and far more likely to be taken seriously by stakeholders worldwide because at least those two can’t be accused of having different standards for different combinations of Genociders and victims.
By making this statement, likely for local political propaganda purposes (both to help shore-up support on their Left for what is a pretty Rightwing New Labour Government and for the usual “See, Britain is an important player in the world!” political performance so common there) the British Government might have just made such a thing less likely to happen rather than more.
