Are you sure it was "the head of the British opposition"? The official leader of the opposition is David Cameron, the leader of the Conservative Party, which I belong to.
Anti-Israeli position is held by the British "Liberals" (read socialists).
If you are right than it is VERY disappointing how low the party of Maggie Thatcher has sunk in less than 15 years.
Ah, you are right. I looked it up, and it written in a misleading fashion. Thanks for the correction. Sorry about that.
