I have a sinking feeling an absolutely horrific precedent was just set for xenophobic governments all over the world

I had seen the UK talk about gun boats for the purpose of guarding their shores from migrants.

The traditional method is to sabotage so that they sink but over a longer time with a chance they return to shore, and therefore a veil of plausible deniability. I suppose claiming they are drug dealers is a different veil, but it’s disturbing there is no need to veil the concept of killing anymore.

Can't do it the legal way (board the vessel, etc.) and leave evidence and witnesses that there weren't drugs or gang members. Just blow 'em up and call it a drug bust.

again, any guesses as to when the former Reform UK guy demands this, and the first time Keir gives in? bsky.app/profile/sysf...

I was just going to say I can see Starmer using this as validation for bombing migrant boats in the channel. He is also such a fucking ghoul in his own right I think he’d do it without Reform even pushing the idea publicly. If he’s going to do it it’ll happen within a week or two

Starmer will give in before Farage demands it. It's just the kind of guy Starmer is.

Inshallah this happens after Events transpire and the U.S. military is in a position to say “no”

If we have a few death rattles left for our empire I’d much rather they go to protecting the sea as a commons for all mankind and the right of all to seek safety and shelter than another stupid CENTCOM fuckfest

they're already heading that way in Italy - Meloni's been preventing humanitarian ships (or at least putting barriers in the way) from rescuing migrants who are drowning in the ocean

I’m not sure that was their intention but yeah they just gave everyone the pretext for murdering migrants.

At this point the Canadian navy should just have a “anyone who attacks a boat of migrants is a pirate and will be treated as such” policy
