Tucker Carlson Criticizes UK Ban on Palestine Action, Calls Starmer 'Enslaved'
American journalist Tucker Carlson condemned the British government's decision to ban the direct action group Palestine Action during a BBC interview. Carlson argued that Prime Minister Keir Starmer lacks genuine autonomy, claiming he is 'enslaved' by external interests similar to former US President Donald Trump. Carlson asserted that criticizing Israel has become illegal in Britain, leading to numerous arrests, a claim disputed by BBC presenter Victoria Derbyshire who clarified that the ban targets a proscribed organization. The controversy arises amidst significant civil unrest, with over 1,600 people arrested since the ban's implementation for expressing support for the group. Recently, more than 500 demonstrators were detained in London while protesting the prohibition. Although a High Court previously ruled the ban unlawful, the government is appealing the decision. Carlson also expressed shame over US influence on British policy, particularly regarding military cooperation against Iran, and called for a more cooperative future relationship between the two nations.
