As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza persists, goods produced in illegal Israeli settlements in the OPT continue to be imported into Britain's markets - proceeds of a crime under international law.
The govt must urgently ban the import of these goods and press for aid to flow into Gaza.

Take two fresh eggs
Place them carefully on a few (and I mean a few) toothpicks
Balance yourself on said eggs for a few weeks and then keep feeding once hatched in plain sight your only genetic material going forward to the future
How are there do many woodpigeons?
