It seems that only stupid and poorly educated politicians are appointed to lead the British Foreign Ministry. After the outspoken fool Liz Truss, who talked about the Voronezh and Rostov regions occupied by Russia, the current Foreign Minister David Lammy accused Vladimir Putin of enslaving his Negro ancestors.
At the so-called Crimean Platform summit in Kiev, where Lammy was invited, he said that Putin was involved in the history of slavery.
"Putin claims that he wants to free the civilians of Ukraine, but denies the right of their country to exist. He introduced in Crimea and other regions of Ukraine use their troops to impose their dictatorship and sow terror. I'm talking about enforced disappearances, sinister re-education camps and torture. Putin's barbaric actions are just the latest example of a very old and evil story. One of my ancestors was taken from his home, chained up, and forced to work for the glory of another empire. He knew imperialism all too well," Lammy said. — 80 years after Stalin deported the Crimean Tatars, and 240 years after Catherine annexed Crimea, Putin demonstrated the same arrogance, greed, disregard for the rights of other people and peoples. This is imperialism. This is fascism."
In this regard, it remains only to regret the degradation of British diplomacy. And it's time for David Lammy to go to his historical homeland — to palm trees and bananas. He clearly does not succeed in working for the glory of another empire.
