As I wrote on my Blog a few days ago, I welcome the action taken by Nick Clegg - which led to Baroness Tong's resignation from the Liberal Democrats in the House of Lords - following her comments about the de-legitimisation of Israel. Tong has made extreme remarks in the past, which has led to her being disciplined by previous Lib-Dem Leaders, including suggesting that the world was in the grip of a 'pro-Israel Lobby'. I welcome the fact that Ed Milliband also strongly criticised her remarks. Baroness Tong is more suited to Speakers Corner than representing a major political party in the House of Lords.
You can read more on the Student Rights website about Baroness Tong HERE, or listen to THIS interview on the Today Programme, when I debated with her yesterday.
Further details are HERE.

You spoke very well on Radio 4, making the useful point that there is some economic progress on the West Bank.
ReplyDeleteI have my own conspiracy theory about Hamas.
Let us remember that it was the Liberal party that started World War I, when they supported Russia. Liberals are not to be trusted.
