Subject: RE: BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party
They're even older than that, Jim, and they were never anything other than an unofficial work in progress, quietly got rid of in 2013, never, ever an official EU policy document. All over the internet it is, but Keith is sitting over his keyboard, red-faced and refusing to look. Of course a number of groups have pounced on them. What would you expect when they contain that suitably broadened definition that tries to stem criticism of Israel? But those groups do not include the EU, EU states or even the people who drew them up in the first place. EU states can't adopt a bunch of guidelines that are not EU policy, then claim to be following EU policy. They are defunct, deaded, released from their mortal coil, ceased to be, gone to join the choir invisible, had the final curtain rung down on them. They are ex-guidelines.
