Parliaments often send delegations to other countries. It's to make the world a better place.

The citizens of Earley and Woodley and Sheffield Central would, if the Israeli government weren't complete arseholes, have got an increased chance of people not getting mistreated by colonisers.

I love the way you say "free trip" as if this was a vacation. It's so condescending. It's makes you look really big. Honest.
