We can't just throw something out because we don't like it.
Take it up with the Conservatives for bringing it to Council in the first place.

This statement is simply breathtaking. Firstly in its arrogance, secondly in impudence and thirdly in its blithe and glib ignorance of the consequences that may flow from the actions to which it refers.
Let me explain Ken; Kashmir may be on the other side of the world, but what is happening there is every bit as real as the London 7/7 bombings or the outrages perpetrated by the IRA. People are being killed, brutally, barbarically. Passing a Motion in Council may seem like a bit of procedural fun to you, as you say 'it took five minutes'. But that five minutes grants legitimacy to murder and terror. Giving succour and support to extremists, on whichever side of this particular argument, contributes to the dreadful toll of lives ruined, families shattered and innocent men, women and children, who have been and will continue to be, killed and maimed. People you do not know nor will ever meet and, to judge by your comments thus far, could not care less about.
As I wrote earlier, I am far from happy with this.
