Update: Discussion and vote postponed “for legal reasons”……
**************
Tomorrow (Tuesday 29 March) Edinburgh’s Policy and Sustainability Committee will – disgracefully – discuss and vote on a petition to twin the City with Gaza. The meeting begins at 10am and will be livestreamed.
We’ve met the two SNP MPs who are supporting this obscenity of a motion before: Tommy Shepherd and Philippa Whitford.
David Collier has blogged about the meeting and the antisemitic history of the petition’s orginator Steve Gregson. The vote is likely to be on a show of hands and unless you can put names to the Councillors’ faces you will not be able to identify those who support the Jew-hating Hamas terrorists.
Therefore to facilitate democratic accountability please find below photos of the 12 non-Conservative Committee Members (Images from the Council Website):

Any councillor who voes for the obscenity could be in breach of the law
