Sheffield calls for an end to arms sales to Israel.
As the bombing of Lebanon and the Genocide in Gaza continued, Sheffielders came out in force on Saturday to demand the Government stop selling arms to Israel.

This was done inContinueContinue reading “The accused should be allowed to explain the motivations of their actions”
