Please write to Alex Baker MP to express your disgust at her lack of action.
On 21st Jan this year the International Armoured Vehicle Conference came to Farnborough, to buy and sell weapons used to break the law. She did nothing.
Tanks and bulldozers were sold to the Israeli military forces. Now these same tanks and bulldozers are being used to destroy homes in the West Bank. We raised this with her and she was silent.

Dear Alex Baker MP,
I am writing to express my disappointment.
On 21st Jan the International Armoured Vehicle Conference came to Farnborough. Many people made you aware that they would be selling weapons to the Israeli military. A military that has broken international law repeatedly. They have committed war crimes.
You were asked to raise this in Parliament. You did not.
You were asked to reach out to the Farnborough Exhibition Centre. You did not.
You were send a petition showing the local support to end this arms fair. You ignored it.
I fear you no longer represent me or this community.
I implore you to reach out to the Exhibition Centre as this event is not a one-off and will continue to happen until you act. As my representative, your voice has more weight and we cannot stop this event if you continue to remain silent.
I also once again ask you to raise this with the Labour Government to end the sale of weapons used for illegal purposes by the Israeli military.
Not in Farnborough. Not ever.
