13-07-2006 23:30

This is the transcript of a public address by Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed, author of The London Bombings: An Independent Inquiry (Duckworth, 2006) at the first parliamentary meeting calling for an independent public inquiry into the 7/7 terrorist attacks. The meeting was held in the House of Lords, 12th July 2006, chaired by Lord Rea. The event was sponsored by CAMPACC (www.campacc.org.uk) and supported by London Metropolitan University's Human Rights and Social Justice Research Institute, Stop Political Terror, and several other campaign groups. Panelists included 7/7 survivor Rachel North, antiwar activist and author Milan Rai, international lawyer Professor Bill Bowring, among others. Also participating were 7/7 survivors Holly Finch and John Tulloch.

In This Climate Of Fear The Energy Giants Must Not Win

13-07-2006 20:30

We live in times of fear : fear of terrorism, fear of energy shortages, fear of climate change. Which do you fear most?

The governments of the USA and UK would have you believe that terrorism is the thing to fear above all else : the Eastern Hoards collaborating in their cells to bring down the Evil West. Hot on its heels comes the mystical phrase “energy security” : an all encompassing term meaning essentially anything that gets in the way of continual power to feed our irrepressible need. Climate change is important too, or so the powers would have us believe, but in the end, like all things in politics, it’s the things that are out of the ordinary person’s control – terrorism and security – that really drive policy.
