Former British Ambassador to the Middle East Peter Ford explains how the criminal wars under successive British governments are directly responsible for the riots and current mayhem.
Peter Ford served as a diplomat in the Middle East. He is now deputy leader of the Workers Party of Britain, led by George Galloway.
Ford contends that the riots across Britain were primed by the British state’s smearing of massive protests against Israel’s genocide in Gaza as somehow being Islamist infiltration of Britain. Following the dreadful stabbing to death of three young girls in Southport on July 29, state-led Islamophobia was then vented with riots in dozens of cities across Britain targeting Muslim communities.
The former diplomat acknowledged tensions over mass migration in Britain, as with other Western countries. But he argues that the migration into Britain and other European states has been fuelled massively by decades of criminal wars by Britain along with its NATO allies in the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia.
These illegal “wars of choice” which continue to this day under Conservative and Labour governments are the main cause of mass migration. The real solution, as opposed to demagogic pied pipery like Brexit and border walls, involves ending these wars and making the British government, the United States and other NATO powers abide by international law.
The West is fomenting genocide in Gaza, and wars in Yemen, Iran, and Ukraine, while maintaining criminal sanctions on Syria and other nations. The combined impact is creating international disorder and dislocation of millions of people. Until the Western powers stop acting as criminal rogue states – waging wars and destroying other nations – then Western societies will continue to reap the whirlwind of chaos.
Few people in the so-called mainstream British media and politics are admitting the truth as told by Peter Ford.
