Donald Trump’s war on the International Criminal Court is a reckoning long overdue

Clown courts

IT whitethorn horrify polite North London meal parties but Donald Trump’s warfare connected the International Criminal Court is simply a reckoning agelong overdue.

Its credibility was already changeable earlier it blew it up with its fact-mangling battle connected Israel and apprehension warrant for PM Benjamin Netanyahu implicit “war crimes”.

These included the alleged “starvation” of Gaza’s radical contempt it being evident assistance is routinely stolen by Hamas.

The ICC nonaccomplishment to recognise Israel arsenic a antiauthoritarian federation justifiably defending itself against racist terrorists inactive holding Jewish hostages betrayed a repugnant bias obliterating immoderate legitimacy it had.

Even Joe Biden called it “outrageous”.

We anticipation Trump’s sanctions unit the ICC to analyse its ain extremist politicisation.

We won’t clasp our breath.

And the aforesaid flaws are evident astatine the International Court of Justice too.

The ICJ has nary powerfulness implicit the UK successful disputes with Commonwealth nations similar Mauritius.

And its edict that Mauritius should beryllium fixed our Chagos Islands contempt having nary valid assertion to them is straightforwardly ludicrous.

But our Government, devoted to some the ICC and ICJ, is slavishly pursuing this non-binding proposal and intends to walk up to £18billion surrendering this strategically captious territory.

Labour’s nonsense excuses astir threats to nationalist information and the “electromagnetic spectrum” if we don’t are designed to conceal an appalling reality:

That left-liberal quality rights lawyers present and successful Mauritius privation YOU to money their juvenile, Britain-hating, planetary virtue-signalling to the tune of billions.

Like the ICC and ICJ, that is different indefensible disgrace.

Smashing job

REMEMBER Labour’s supposedly elaborate program to stop the boats?

“Smashing the gangs”. “More borderline police”. “Clearing the asylum backlog”.

The effect truthful far: A surge successful numbers, with a grounds 1,489 migrants crossing the Channel illegally since January 1.

The Government’s program was ever fatally flawed — due to the fact that it scrapped the Rwanda scheme earlier it could launch, recoiling adjacent astatine the thought of a deterrent.

Whether done incompetence oregon wilful ideological blindness, it wholly misread the problem. So present we are:

A situation exposing the impotence of successive Governments goes connected . . . with a skint federation already successful economical occupation stuck with a measure for billions.

Good DOGE

BRUTAL though it looks, Elon Musk’s DOGE section astatine the White House looks acceptable to prevention US taxpayers a fortune.

Vast, wasteful projects astatine location and overseas are being unsentimentally torched.

Just ideate the horrors we’d unearth if Britain did the same.

When tin we get a DOGE?
