Leaving UNESCO?

Why do not we leave UNESCO, the UN and every other international organisation we have any contact with so that we can become the littlest of little englanders (the name doesn't even deserve a capital)

We could close down all our embassies, build a wall round the coast and become Europe's answer to North Korea, impoverished, zenophobic and convinced that we are the best thing since sliced bread, the cheapest nastiest kind.

No thanks.

Has UNESCO become more political? Unfortunately, many bodies, charities etc which should remain apolitical are increasingly becoming politicised.

Just a thought.

It would be a backwards move though, if we can't support such bodies as UNESCO etc and help preserve world heritage then we risk becoming culturally impoverished ourselves.

Jalima1108 one of the reasons Israel gave was the recognition of Palestine and of Hebron as a World Heritage site. It does seem to me that if there are places considered important hisorically and culturally something like UNESCO should be able to recognise them regardless of who is in power. But I suppose this could be considered political.

UNESCO stands outside of national politics and what their inspectors discovered about poverty in the UK is truly shocking - a terrible indictement of the inhumanity of our Tory government.

No, it should stand outside politics.
If it is not preserved then Jews as well as Palestinians will lose part of their heritage.

It was a UN report on the UK, not UNESCO itself varian

I agree, trisher
