The so-called forensic human rights lawyer Sir Keir Starmer may well be in breach of international human rights law.
We all know he's an out-and-out hypocrite.
The Prime Minister once said: “Any decision about the future status of Greenland belongs to the people of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark alone. That right is fundamental, and we support it.”
Yeah, but when it came to the Chagossians, he couldn't give a fig removal order.
Now, his attempts to evict the native Chagossians from their homeland to facilitate his surrender deal are rapidly unravelling.
It seems that Sir Keir Starmer is a human rights lawyer only when it suits him, because by evicting the island's rightful residents, his Government may be committing a crime against humanity.
Yesterday, we learned that vital supplies of food, medicine, mosquito nets, bed linen, and clothing destined for the islands may have been seized by UK immigration officers.
This isn't the first time supplies have been seized. Nigel Farage recently tried to deliver aid to the British Government on the island.
In a submission to the UN Human Rights Commissioner, James Tunbridge, the attorney general for the Chagossian Government-in-exile has demanded intervention on behalf of the Chagossians, who now live on the archipelago.
He accused the British Government of ethnic cleansing, stating that this could be a “violation of the right of indigenous peoples not to be forcibly removed from their lands”.
The application claimed that Britain violated the minority rights of the Chagossians in the 1960s, and 70s by forcibly removing the Chagos population from their homeland to make way for a base in Diego Garcia.
Yesterday, Nigel Farage said: “How ironic it is that international law may scupper Starmer's vile attempt to deny Chagossians their rights?”
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
- ‘Obviously ethnic cleansing!’ Chagos First Minister weighs in after Keir Starmer reported to UN
- Zia Yusuf defends Nigel Farage’s Donald Trump friendship during tense GB News grilling
- ‘You've scrapped plans to scrap the cap!’ Camilla Tominey and Zia Yusuf clash on Reform ‘U-turns’
And even though the time has run out to put the deal through Parliament, and Donald Trump opposes it, something that Labour said they would scrap if he were not behind it.
Keir Starmer is stubbornly vowing to pursue the deal, a deal he signed with the Mauritian government last year, a deal that would put the British taxpayer £35billion out of pocket.
I don't know about you, but I'm wondering whose human rights he's actually protecting.
I suspect the trail may lead to those who put together its latest iteration. Frankly, the whole thing stinks.
