If the UK Were Gaza

• There would be roughly 34,194 dead and 137,846 injured.
• Our tiny Island would be surrounded by checkpoints, walls, fences and no man's land, we wouldn't be allowed to get out.
• Our fishing industry would have collapsed, as would most of our economy- 41 million of us would be living in poverty- that is on less than 32p per day.
• In the past 14 days the houses of Parliament, the Department of Education, local Government buildings would have been destroyed during air raids. Our police force and associated infrastructure would have been all but decimated a week and a half ago.
• Over 80,000 people would have been forced from thier homes. Our children wouldn't have slept in 14 nights.
• Our hospitals would be running out of blood, anaesthesia, bandages, syringes after having to treat 137,846 injured people in 15 days.
• Our army would be attempting to defend us using home made armaments.
• Our neighbours in France and Ireland would be ignoring our plight and not allowing in supplies of food and medicine. There would be no end in sight.

The world would be blaming us for reacting to a year of enforced starvation with home made rockets. They would be saying that all of this was our fault for breaking a ceasefire agreement that our enemy never, ever stuck to in the first place. Infact 205 of us were killed in an airstrike 5 months into the ceasefire. But we were meant to ignore that and carry on suffering malnutrition, water shortages and powercuts without a murmur of protest.

Shame on us all for allowing this to happen.
Shame.
