Poor David Lammy. The foreign secretary appears to be a typically pusillanimous British minister, a speaker of mincing words. He won’t say whether America joining Israel’s attacks on Iran is legal, or even a good idea.
He may be trying to preserve the fantasy of the “special relationship” with the US. But he may also have ducked the question because he doesn’t want to get crushed in the Iran-Israel battle between biblical enemies Gog and Megog, stampeded by the four horsemen of the apocalypse, or knifed by Shia hashashin as mortal foes rush us all towards the “End of Times”.
