Dickie Burgon travelled to Cuba last week alongside former Labour comrade Jeremy Corbyn and those cheeky Gaelic rappers from Kneecap. The band of Brit-hating commies were ostensibly delivering medical aid to the communist state, which has endured a US embargo since 1960. Presumably they were not bold enough to try and crack the Israeli embargo of Gaza, as that would actually physical danger. It seems that the Kneecap boys are not as tough as they make out, despite banging on about Palestine 365 days a year.
Anyway, speaking of Israel...
Not for the first time, community notes on X has brutally rinsed a politician. Poor Dickie was not simply delivering medical aid, he was delivering medical aid sourced from the hated Israel!
Burgon was also corrected on his assertion that the embargo is somehow Trump's fault, despite the fact he was barely in high school when the US imposed sanctions against Cuba. Furthermore, Cuba cut diplomatic ties with Israel in 1973, so any restrictions on Israeli goods predated the first Trump presidency by more than 40 years.
Leeds' finest is not the brightest!
