A few lefty unions do not represent Britain anymore than the ACLU represents America.
I’ll repeat myself from the previous thread.
The usual lefty suspects are calling for boycotts, and yet, and yet ... normal Britons don’t know or care what the inconsequential lefties are screaming about. We’re still going on holiday in Israel and buying evil Zionist fruit. Very nice it is too.
I don't dispute that, and if you're right the union memberships will vote down these proposals as they did last year. However these aren't simply lefty organizations whining, they're unions attempting to do significant damage to Israel and individual Israelis, not just in Britain, but internationally as well. Relative to the US I'm aware of one pending University partnership where this has been raised as an issue, Alan Dershowitz has announced his intent to take legal action over any attempt to have Israelis or Jews barred form American projects, and there's been a little talk in Congress of amending our antiboycott legislation to make it clear that NGOs are covered as well as governments. So why it may be the usual leftys, and while they may not represent Brits, unless the broad membership of the unions reject the proposals, there will likely be serious damage done.
‘A few lefty unions do not represent Britain anymore than the ACLU represents America.’
I’m glad you got here first and saved me the trouble of shooting down these anti-British muppets who think 158 academics represent Britain.
I believe psychiartrists call it transference - criticising others instead of fixing your own problems.
Well said.
Most of the people of Britain are disgusted and the PM and parliament have condemned this.
There are nazi candidates who are running for president in America.
Since when does that make Americans nazis?
