    I would like to think I understand enough to believe it would be offensive if the UK stepped in to intervene on behalf of Ireland. Someone correct me if that is wrong.

      The UK wasn’t asked to intervene on behalf of Ireland, and it is very unlikely that they would be. The article specifically mentions that the Irish government have done fuck all too, other than condemn it. They are mostly forced to do that, as the majority of Ireland’s population would be against this.

      The article also mentions that there are British people on the flotilla that were also kidnapped/abducted in International waters, illegally, by Israel, and Starmer hasn’t even condemned it. He has said or done nothing about it.

      The only reason Ireland is linked, is because one of the people taken, has a famous (in Ireland) sister, who happens to be President, (which is not the head of government in Ireland). There are many more nationalities on board the flotilla.
