    I buy Israeli wines to help Israeli winegrowers, I buy Lebanese wines to help Lebanese winegrowers, practical steps to help both, who under threat from Jihadist lunatics. What do you do to help the people of that region, apart from whining on here ?

    I am against those swinging the leg and using any escuse in the book not to work

    I am also against all illegal immigrants who should be deported on the spot, no matter what their circumstances. I am also against the country being still tied to the EU when we had a democratic vote to leave (ECHR)

    This country for the last 40 years has been a dumping ground for the 3rd world garbage, all in the name of cheap labour and for zero benefit of the white indigenous population

    There is nothing in either branch of ? international law? be it Public International Law or Private International Law that requires countries to ban goods and services, as you claim.

    Public International Law preserves the sovereignty of nations - so it is down the sovereign country to decide who it does or does trade with.

    The Republic of Bolton may have decided not to trade with Israel but clearly the Republic of Clitheroe has decided otherwise

    I boycott all goods and services originating from Israel. Now that the Jews have made Gaza and the West Bank virtual prisons where even journalists cannot get in or out, no goods Made in Palestine are obviously not on the shelves. You continue to support an apartheid regime that is involved in genocide and practicing ethnic cleansing not see since the Serbian & Kosovan mass murder of people from a different religion.

    I shall be attending two mass protests against the Israeli Genocide within the next two weeks in London & Manchester. No doubt you will be indulging in products originating from a Death State.

    Have you forgotten the Miracle of Turf Moor already mon ami, as our 'disabled' fan danced around delightedly waving his sticks in the air. That's one disability allowance I'd have been cutting.

    In between my 4th & 5th marriages and a major sale of matrimonial assets I decided to take a sabbatical while I was studying for my Batchelors degree in Social Science and volunteered to work in a Citizens Advice Bureau.

    The "system" is totally broken, people who truly need & deserve help struggle like mad to get it, while towns like Blackburn have exactly half of its population claiming & receiving Universal Credit. The "system" needs sorting out from top to bottom whilst providing a safety net for the most vulnerable.

    Thank you Swiss, it's good to know there's at least one International Lawyer I can trust, but then we always obey the law in the Ribble Valley.
