I am deeply saddened that once again, this Government has given in to the vocal minority
Don't be too sad.
Rightly or wrongly, the overwhelming vocal majority of people in the country on both sides of the party political divide want the British government to join the call for an immediate cease fire.
This was the world state of play on the 21st July.
Government giving in to pressure?
Much changed since?

Justifiably or not, the Israeli government decided Beirut airport was a legitimate target.
If American bombs being sent to Israel to be dropped on Lebanon are allowed to pass through a UK airport, would it be surprising if (again justifiably or not) Hezbollah decided it was a legitimate target?
Is it reasonable for the government to subject British civilians to the risk just because our ally has chosen to support Israel's actions in Lebanon?
