Another gaffe from the British Foreign Secretary {Liz Truss] no less stating on television that she would support any Britons who wished to go to Ukraine to fight. Zelenskiy's decision to set up an international legion appears to be similar to the International Brigades of the Spanish Civil War.
However, Truss' comments run counter to advice from her own department's website and it was pointed out to her by a former Attorney General that anyone who did go and fight would be in breach of an 1870 law whereby it is illegal to enlist in a foreign army at war in a country that is at peace with the UK. So much for the Foreign Secretary's knowledge of British Law.
Hers is just the latest idiotic remark in a succession of idiotic remarks and behaviours.
Dominc Raab - now I believe the Deputy Prime Minister - last year expressed his amazement at the significance of the Calais-Dover crossing regarding goods going to and from the UK and earlier this year made another gaffe [again on television] about the party held for him during lockdown that wasn't a party!
Their very own Upper Class Twit of the Year [aka Jacob Rees Mogg] has been given responsibility for dealing with Brexit and he is so clueless he had to write an article in Murdoch's tabloid The Sun newspaper requesting that readers send him their comments on how, and in what ways, they consider Brexit has improved their lives. One only hopes that some of those comments come from small and medium businesses, truck drivers, fishermen, and farmers.
