Very telling that "52 countries abstained,including the UK & EU member states." Basically those responsible for the enslavement of up to 15 million people over 100s of years felt they didn't like the wording.Right ok..let's make your discomfort the issue here shall we?🙄 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Whenever there is organisational misbehaviour, there is someone who excused it. It’s banter. Or they grew up in a different era. Or people are just too sensitive. Or they really didn’t mean it like that. Or that’s just how they are and you should just ignore it. 1/

In September the Scottish Parliament passed our motion calling for a boycott of Israel. But this week it was revealed that no briefing notes were prepared for ministers following the vote. Gillian Mackay asked the First Minister when we would see action. 👇
