Foreign Office staff told to consider resigning after challenging UK policy on Gaza

and added the government had “rigorously applied international law” in relation to the war in Gaza.

I'm no lawyer, but if the law allows for the continued sale of weapons to a government when there is an active arrest warrant for the leader of said government, for misuse of those weapons - then the law is broken.

And it's not just any arrest warrant - the warrant is issued by the ICC, and the UK is a state party to the Rome Accord, which is the treaty that gives the ICC authority.

I didn't know all that, I went and looked it up for this comment. The Wikipedia page was interesting reading.

The reply to the letter was sent by the permanent under-secretary, Oliver Robbins, and Nick Dyer, the second most senior civil servant in the Foreign Office. They told the signatories: “[I]f your disagreement with any aspect of government policy or action is profound, your ultimate recourse is to resign from the civil service. This is an honourable course.”

You fucking joking, right? It is the people who break law or international obligations who should resign.

The reply did not address the substantive complaints by staff.

We've changed nothing, but your leaving has mildly put us out.
