False Labour Friends of Gaza

20.01.2009 20:33

During the recent protests in Nottingham about the attack on Gaza it was noticeable that Labour councillors were present. They were anxious to claim that they condemn this Zionist atrocity. Their stance should be treated with caution.

Last year Nottingham Stop the War Coalition wrote to all of the fifty-five Nottingham City councillors pointing out that most of the heroin in Nottingham comes from Afghanistan where the biggest drug barons are members of the puppet Kabul government installed and kept in power by the American and British governments. Given that the Council claim to be trying to combat heroin addiction in Nottingham, we suggested that the Council should protest to the British Government and tell them to stop supporting the Kabul warlords and turning a blind eye to their drugs running.

Only Jon Collins replied with an evasive letter claiming that it is not permissible for local councils to comment on national government policies! (What can they do apart from arranging flower baskets?) The truth is that these so-called representatives of the people will say or do nothing to embarrass their national Labour Party leaders. Hamas is on the "War on Terror" list of Bush and Brown. Thus it seems strange that Hassan Ahmed, a councillor for Berridge Ward, stood as a candidate for Benazir Bhutto's People's Party in the last Pakistan General Election. The People's Party is one hundred per cent behind the imperialists' "War on Terror".

Also when the Nottingham-Jenin Friendship Link suggested to Nottingham City Council that Nottingham be twinned with Jenin they were met with an evasive response.

The truth is that these councillors, just like John Heppell MP, only express sympathy with the Palestinians because they want our votes, especially Muslim votes. Treat them with the contempt they deserve and don't vote for them.
