Students for Israel?

Never liked the guy. Like all NUS leaders, he is a wet weekend. Nice to see how he used his NUS presidency to become Director of Endsleigh, which NUS has a large shareholding in. Surprise, surprise - Mike Gapes was a leading student union leader. Oh and don't forget Twigg, the slimey bastard and twin brother (clone?) of Michael Portillo - a former NUS president!

How can a Labour member be a friend of Israel

How can a Labour M.P. be a supporter of a terrorist regime which is emulating the Nazis in its ethnic cleansing of Palestine. They should be forcefully persuading the government to take up Gerald Kaufman's call for sanctions on Israel and its muderous and crooked bastard who runs the show!

Twigg resigns

I found it a bit odd that Mr Twigg didn't declared his involvement with Labour Friends of Israel on his website and so I sent him a simple email asking if he could confirm whether he was still the Chair. Got a very prompt reply saying that he resigned a couple of years ago. Still find it a bit bizzare that the guy can declare himself as a former employee and current supporter of Amnesty International on the website of an organisation actively lobbying on behalf of a country routinely condemned by Amnesty. I think I may be contacting Mr Twigg on this issue.
