Boycott (BDS) and Local Government Pensions

LocalGovernmentlawyer covers a recent court case on government guidance for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement.  BDS is at the time of writing principally targeted at activities in some way related to Israel. Its proponents seem to feel that BDS will be more effective in changing Israel, or perhaps ending Israel, than engaging dialogue. 

Essentially, it seems to suggest that local authorities can only join in boycotts if they are backing national policy but not otherwise.
