There was recently a vote as to if the UK should recognise a state of Palestine.
The good news is that we overwhelmingly do with 274 ayes to 12 noes.
These are the creatures that voted against. Apparantly pillars of society elected to represent a community fairly and decently?

The good news for the people of Berkshire is that our MPs are not on that list. The bad news is that they are not on the list of those who votes 'aye' either.
Our local MPs abstained.
Rob Wilson. Reading. Conservative.
I can only hope our Reading and Wokingham MPs who did not take part have good excuses otherwise would add to the likelihood that they have questionable morality about other things they don't talk about.
Not just Redwood and his beloved offshore tax industry.
It may be that I'm wrong and the majority of our middle class suburbia think that it was fine for us to agree to install Israel in Palestine back in 1917 and should fine not to recognise any state Palestine.
If we voters are in the same proportional agreement as government was then it is one hell of a poor representation that NONE of our MPs voted.
In their defence half of MPs did not vote, so we perhaps should have expected just two to bother to turn up.
Not in their defence. I missed the memo from Redwood asking our opinion in the local press.
Do ask why it is that they did partake on the vote. If they have an honourable view, ask them to do so publically.
Meanwhile. If you really want to make sure your candidate is not a crook, ask them to respect your right to an informed choice using
