I strongly disagree with the assertion that the issue should never have been discussed by the Council. The Council is there to represent the worries and concerns of the local community, and when the local community consists of a large Asian community, then the issues that concern them should be aired.

Well it seems you're in a tiny minority.
Most people seem to think it's the job of local councils to deal with local issues, not international ones.
That's the job of national government.
If residents want to make their feelings known, about an issue happening on the otherside of the world, they should lobby their representative in Westminster, their M.P.
