Dale Farm Eviction Date Set.

Although it's not been made official yet local sources have announced that later today (5/9/11) Basildon council will serve letters on the residents of Dale Farm informing them that their eviction will begin on September 19th (19/9/11). As I'm sure you're aware the United Nations have been very vocal in their criticism of Basildon council's plans and called on Britain's UN delegation to suspend what is widely viewed as an illegal act.

The 66th (2011) session of the United Nations General Assembly that will vote on the issue of Palestinian statehood will begin on September 13th (13/9/11) and run until September 27th (27/9/11). That means that the Dale Farm eviction will take place slap bang in the middle of the meeting and there is no chance that the Libya war will have ended by then.

So at the risk of making an already complicated situation worse may I suggest that any members who wish to see Britain expelled from the Security Council vote no on the issue of Palestinian statehood.
