Government to ban procurement boycotts on Ethical or Moral grounds.

[NotAllThere]

...
Never mind the EU telling us what to do, looks like anyone we sell weapons to can do the same.

Nope. The government is saying that boycotts and sanctions will be decided at government level only. Now, you might be opposed to further centralisation and taking power away from councils and impinging on the independence of universities, but it's got nothing to do with our dear customers telling us what to do.

have you met any of the self-serving individuals who make up local councils?

As opposed to the ones who make up government?

It's no surprise that the formal announcement for this is going to be made in Israel. They're the ones who have been complaining the loudest about boycotts.

That's because lefties hate Israel whilst they promote their ROP agenda, good to see them get some kick back for once

I'd say boycott this.

Govt sanctions are already compulsory for everybody in UK to follow, if some individuals want to impose their own, especially on moral grounds then they are entitled to it - nobody is forced to follow them.

That would be the Israel that was inhabited by Jews for many centuries before Islam was even a religion?

Quite right, they have been elected to deal with issues like this. Local government has been elected to deal with local issues. Did any of your councillors state their views on boycotting Israel when canvassing for votes?

I think everybody should boycott the Govt on Ethical and Moral grounds.
