Grantham town councillor John Morgan attends march in London for Palestine

A town councillor attended a national march at the weekend.

Grantham town councillor John Morgan (Dem Ind) went along to a march for Palestine in London on Saturday (January 18), just before a ceasefire was declared in Gaza.

He said: “At a time when the British government is selling arms to the Israeli military, it is important that people make a stand against them.

“Since this demonstration, the ceasefire has begun and the first hostages on both sides have been released.

“This is a good start, but peace needs to be lasting.

“Gaza needs to be rebuilt and the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza need to be freed from Israeli occupation.”
