Isn't it amazing that the US and UK will leap into action to protect their shipping/protect western interests/ to prevent a bit more inflation/ to make sure we get our goods as cheaply as possible/to stop oil prices going up, whilst standing by to watch the slaughter of 23000 children, women and male non-combatants in Gaza. Well, they have no oil, I suppose. And, well, we have to please those all-powerful pro-Israel lobbies, don't we?
