What would Keir Starmer do if a group of Norwegians supported by the Norwegian government invaded tomorrow killing thousands?

Starmer might give Orkney back to Norway…if their attack was about getting it back?

Do you think he'd try to kill as many Norwegians as possible because he thinks they are sub-human?

You mean Vikings from Norway? I think we would defend like we did before and not go and invade Norway.

Ireland isn't in NATO @RadioBamboo.

The British did invade Ireland.
Took the land from the Irish forcibly.
Didn't allow them to speak their language, practice the majority religion and put settlers from England and Scotland on the land they took from the native Irish @itsmabeline.
They eventually gave most of Ireland back (81.25%) to be self ruled after numerous rebellions by the Irish.

I am a descendant of both the native Irish and the settlers.

If the government of Norway had done violence without any prior hurt or harm done to them ?

So nothing like the current Middle East conflict then? A sort of random story ? Without purpose ?

Well we all know that Keir would do absolutely nothing to stop innocent children from being slaughtered, protect elderly and vulnerable people or indeed do anything that he has promised to do.
So we can safely assume that whatever the Norwegians get up to would be absolutely A OK with Keir.

It s the how.
Yes we would condemn.
Uk bombed iraq war on terror etc for what purpose?

Both sides continue to instill "other" in the next generation . War crimes aplenty. It isn't going to end til both sides think peace. See northern Ireland peace process.

Sorry, are you referring to the terrorist attacks of 7th October, or Israel's subsequent attacks in Gaza and Lebanon?

Because if it's the former, I think if we'd taken most of Norway's land and annexed them in a tiny area by the Swedish border in addition to a long list of atrocities we've seen against the Palestinian people, International Law would have stepped in to condemn that a long time ago and be unsurprised when the remaining Norwegians reacted.

I think if it's the latter, I think if British terrorists had turned up in Norway and brutally murdered a load of completely innocent young people at a festival, and continually advocated for destroying Norway as a country, we'd have to accept some responsibility for our terrorist problem and I'd hope we'd deal with that ourselves before Norway had to.

Both parties have behaved terribly in this situation, and international input seems to have only made matters worse.

The only people who are blameless are the kids and innocent civilians caught in the middle, and the more it escalates the more they suffer.

No, because invading other countries isn’t defending your own. It’s invading other countries and escalating the original problem. Also the UK no longer does as it likes in other countries and does not insist it is above reproach or decide any criticism of its actions as a country is anti-christian.

"It is like if Norway destroys the London Eye we destroy France because a Parisian waiter was rude to Starmer’s wife and then half heartedly dropping a few bombs on Oslo."

It really isn't.

Not before killing 4 million Iraqis, creating a power vacuum and leading to the rise of ISIS and instability in the area. Then killing millions of Afghans and finally putting the Taliban getting back into power.

all the while ignoring invading Saudi Arabia where the leader and most of the terrorists were from.

It is like if Norway destroys the London Eye we destroy France because a Parisian waiter was rude to Starmer’s wife and then half heartedly dropping a few bombs on Oslo.

See up thread.

If it doesn't have to be France, William of Orange 1688.

Was Britain holding the Norwegians in a state of perpetual state of apartheid and illegally settling on Norwegian land first? Also was part of Norway given to Britain despite the protestations of the natives?

The Normans?

Well lets see ! Did the english invaded first kicked the danish out of their homes gave them no rights and kept killing them periodically over decades ?

I guess I wasn't aware we had been denying Norwegians basic human rights, that our soldiers based in Norway had been killing Norwegians, that we had been blockading their ports , that British citizens had been using violence to move Norwegians out of their homes and move in themselves

So as to what Keir would do - I guess the first thing would be to launch an investigation as to why all our horrific actions had been covered up and for how long

Kick someone endlessly then acting hurt and surprised when they kick back is such arrogant behaviour

I get where you're going with this and I can see the UK immediately carpet bombing Norway, imprisoning thousands of Norwegians and destroying vital infrastructure. We'd also try to herd them into Sweden so we can live there, and starve them.

@MrsSkylerWhite I did fact check myself before posting and came across the utterly grim Royal Navy phrase of "sucking the monkey".

Not pedantic, accurate.

Nelson was preserved in rum. Maybe something we picked up from the Vikings.

UK didn't exist, Britain was a geographic region not a country. Duke of Normandy was French but England wasn't invaded by the King of France.

A bit pedantic I know. Also the Vikings actually did invade were largely from Denmark.

Arguably the last English (Angle-ish?!?) monarch was Harold in 1066

To be fair Norway might want to reclaim Shetland and Orkney as its only been about 700 years- and then they could move to the Western Isles, send some settlers to York, flatten Manchester and assassinate Andy Burnham.
The brined children just the start of it

1066?

When was Britain invaded by France?
