While that’s reasonable I feel we should have already been declining on 2 important points:
It’s Trump
Genocide
The_Fyrewyre on
Erm, who else apart from Trump And Putin are in it?
davus_maximus on
Nothing to do with the billion-dollar entry bribe payable into Trump’s personal account, then?

“Holds off”? Holds Off??
The entire things is complete madness from top to bottom. Just tell Trump to F*ck Off and get on with running the country.

For once we should embrace our diminished standing in the world and sort our own shit out rather than get involved in grandstanding when we have very little to gain.

Looking at the list so far, is that an Islamic Board of Peace?
Pakistan, Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Turkiye, Saudi Arabia and Qatar
KinkySouthAsian on
And also the undeniable fact that Donald Trump was an active participant in the Gaza Genocide by choosing to green-light it every step of the way and providing all the weaponry used.

Dictionary definition of circle jerk. Best off not.

If that’s their only concern then can we call a general election now?
WTF is the UN for?

Trump’s board of peace feels like a Marvel movie where all the super villains team up.

It’s not a board of peace. It’s a board of occupation.

Why would they have anything to do with it anyway, what effing planet are the government on?

Joining will mean admitting the UN is done, and that Trump is the one and true emperor

I would have thought that the fact it’s a rampantly megalomaniacal vanity project would be a key consideration:
* Trump is Chairman for life
* he can only be sacked by a unanimous vote of the Executive Board
* coincidentally, he has unlimited discretion to appoint and dismiss members of the Executive Board
* he gets to choose his successor
* decisions of the Board of Peace are subject to his approval.

To be honest with you, anyone who joins this so-called peace board is an idiot. The fact that Trump is appointing himself to lead it is ridiculous. Apparently, it doesn’t even get passed on to the next president, it’s just his name listed as a member of the board.
It’s a complete con. I find it unbelievable that countries are actually entertaining this.

Christ stop playing the angles and just say ‘no’. So tired of how lily-livered the UK gets with regard to the US.
Cute_Ad_9730 on
What possible legitimacy does Trump have to even presume this role in the first place ?
WestCareer7545 on
Putin concerns? Netanyahu is on it too and he’s a war criminal wanted by the ICC. I’m sure all the mainstream news sites will convienently forget that though
lucyuktv on
We’re going to need a new word for when people aren’t fighting. Trump is devaluing the word peace so much lately.

Apparently Israel being on it isn’t of concern to Starmer.
luredrive on
They should also be concerned about Israel & Saudi Arabia being on it.
PaleMaleAndStale on
Why not just hold off permanently because it’s yet another blatantly corrupt shakedown by a known grifter? The idea of giving Trump a billion dollars of UK taxpayers money makes me want to scream. He can dress it up how he likes but we all know it’s going straight in his back pocket.

Good. The special relationship is over.
Fuck Trump. Suck a bag of dicks.

Why the fuck are we even considering giving a billion quid to that orange cunt???!
circleribbey on
I imagine the fact that its a private institution that has Trump as the lifetime chair, and you are required to pay $1 Billion cash to join is a bit off-putting too.
Spamgrenade on
Trump is also charging everyone $1BN to join so there’s that as well.

Board of Peace is a joke, just look at this lot ‘Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and Egypt announced they would join the board. Israel has also publicly confirmed its participation.’ no problem with human rights abuses in any of those countries, Argentina is Trumps bitch after the £40 billion bailout and Orban is a Russian asset same as him, we shouldn’t be anywhere near it.

Clearly this has little to do with Gaza…
The UK and Canada and France (and others) will join the Chinese new order. The devil you know is better than an erratic conman.
AssumptionBudget279 on
While I am glad they haven’t signed off on it, I do definitely think they should REJECT it.
I do wonder though is the reason they are looking at it is, to another way to influence Trumps decisions joining a board like this and try and steer him away from dangerous choices
Yet it had Russia, clearly this is not a “peace board”

I’d feel physically sick if the UK even entertained this farce

And yet no invitation to the great principality of Sealand?!
