Former UK ambassador Craig Murray, an expert in maritime law, says the UK has engaged in a blatant act of piracy – and a self-sabotaging one at that – in seizing a ship passing through the Strait of Dover.
He adds: "It is astonishing that at this moment, when navigation of the Strait of Hormuz is arguably the single most live question in all of international politics, the UK has decided to abandon the principle of free transit through straits.
"It takes hypocrisy to an entire new level – it truly beggars belief – that the day after closing the Dover Strait to Russian shipping, Starmer issued a joint statement with Germany, France and Italy insisting on 'Freedom of Navigation' in the strait of Hormuz."

@SarahForRuncorn Such specious ignorance in an MP is symptomatic of why the U.K. is in such a parlous economic and social condition Climate breakdown is a far greater threat than immigration. Care for its citizens is an axiomatic in a civilised country.

I think Burnham will win, but that Greens will do better than this.
As a progressive voter, I couldn’t vote for Burnham given his pro austerity and anti migrant rhetoric.
It's pretty damned obvious that it's not possible for a defendant to mount any form of adequate legal defence against offences they are not charged with.
Please RT this until this injustice is corrected.
Thank you.
