Crime and Policing BillContribution
Our Government have been clear that there is no genocide in Gaza, despite the protestations, and we know that, although there were food shortages, it is not clear that there was famine. But there were the awful consequences of war: there is no question of that. But there are wars all around the world, with much greater civilian casualties, in both absolute and proportionate terms. However, there are not demonstrations on the streets of London about the 60 or so other global conflicts, and these same people protesting in London about Gaza have not been seen protesting about what is going on in Iran.
