Andrew Feinstein | This House Believes The British Arms Industry Should Be Taken to the Hague
Andrew Feinstein speaks as second proposition in the Debating Chamber on Thursday 14th March, 8:00pm
This IS the Presidential debate, the motion of which is proposed by the outgoing Union President. With so many high-profile guest speakers, it is guaranteed to be a highly-charged and timely debate with some fascinating speeches.
The British Arms Industry may lead the way commercially, but it is not without controversy. £12bn worth of arms exports flowed from Britain in 2022 alone. Some of this export has been the subject of more positive news, such as those to Ukraine. But there are many who believe the British Arms Industry have serious questions to answer. Britain’s exports to states such as Saudi Arabia and Israel has been under growing scrutiny. The exports to Saudi Arabia have been of particular concern in recent years, with human rights groups strongly protesting the UK government’s sales and determination that human rights violations in Yemen were “isolated incidents”. Should the continuing production, sale and profiting from these weapons be deemed a warcrime and should those responsible face jail time? Or are we demonising an industry, that whilst perhaps unsavoury, is necessary to our national defence and are we misusing the language of war crimes for political ends?

brilliant, thankyou. SAD that so few have watched, shame that BBC have not aired it!! ?????
Sublime speech and incredibly restrained. Could’ve been much more disrespectful to the west and the Israeli government.
This is why Fienstien should be in Parliament, and the reason why Starmer shouldn’t be P.M.
Short, to the point and with incredible truth.
I’m 76 not technically savvy. Why so few views? It doesn’t seem plausible. Surely there would be great interest even if only from the Students, Lecturers, and their families.
The very first time I listened to Andrew Feinstein, he gained my respect. My respect for the man increases, each time I listen to him talking. To me, he really does come across as a most decent and trustworthy human being. I truly hope the world can find more people out there like him, who have the courage to step up and speak out for the oppressed and less privileged people on this planet. He is everything, Keir Starmer is not.
i would love to see him unseat Starmer
Excellent speech, I hope and pray this honourable man takes the war monger Starmer’s seat in the election
Amazing. Respect. Should be in Parliament.
Will we ever see him and Starmer face each other? I'd pay good money for that!
This lot sum up everything that is wrong with British universities these days
He's formidable is Feinstein. He'd make a great leader.
