I hope that Richard Burgon would still call me a friend, and like Dawn Butler he ought to be proud that he could not serve in the Shadow Cabinet of any of the Labour Leadership candidates due to their requirement of certification by the Board of Deputies.
That Board has assumed in Britain the de facto sovereignty that will soon be exercised across all 32 Counties by the Provisional Army Council. Except that at least large numbers of people in both parts of Ireland have voted for Sinn Féin. Nobody in Britain has voted for Likud. Indeed, not all that many people in Israel still vote for Likud.
But Richard's Peace Pledge idea is just daft. What we need are MPs who would make it clear that they would vote against a Government in a vote of no confidence, even if that Government were of their own party, if it pursued military action other than in self-defence or pursuant to a United Nations Security Council Resolution.
And I am not sure about United Nations Security Council Resolutions. Military force should only ever be used in self-defence. Of course. Read Saint Thomas Aquinas. I will be standing for Parliament again here at North West Durham next time, so please give generously. In any event, please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
