Scottish Boycott Latest!

Remember SNP Councillor Jonathan McColl, the West Dunbartonshire Council bigwig who, as I posted a few days ago, labelled anti-Boycott protesters "extremists"?
Well, he's digging his heels in.

The misguided laddie has a personal blog, on which he has posted a personal statement denying the Boycott is antisemitic.

He also states, inter alia:
"West Dunbartonshire Council remains committed to our boycott of Israeli goods and our resolve has been strenthened by the torrent of vile abuse [and] threats of violence to our families that has come from people who claim to be peace loving people."
And he's also made an appearance on video... [Update: You can view it on my final blog for May, along with another video about the SNP Boycott!]

Someone really should make a video for the West Dunbartonshire Council along the lines of this one, made for Marrickville Council in Sydney:

    Re the UCU business, I posted something last week, and would have done a post last evening had not my blog played up - I think the probem is fixed now but I have not had time.

  3. Wave right back to the Councillor McColl here - looks like he's imbibed a dram or three in the photo:

  4. It appears it's much worse to be accused of antisemitism than to do or say something antisemitic.
