Keir Starmer says he will never withdraw from the ECHR because there is "no need" and Rishi Sunak did not disagree, despite it being the reason he failed to stop the boats. Nigel Farage says it's time to ask the people.

Fifteen Year-Old Swiss Girl Taken into Care After Parents Refuse to Consent to Course of Puberty Blo... Wed Jul 24, 2024 15:00 | Dr Frederick Attenborough
A Swiss girl has been been taken into care because her parents stopped her taking puberty blockers, breaching a ban on conversion therapy. Is this what Labour means by a "full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices"?

Net Zero is Impoverishing the West and Enriching China Wed Jul 24, 2024 13:30 | Will Jones
The West's headlong rush to jettison fossil fuels and hit 'Net Zero' CO2 emissions is impoverishing us while enriching China, which is ramping up its coal-fired industry to sell us all the 'green' technology.

The Threat to Democracy Wed Jul 24, 2024 11:29 | James Alexander
'Populists' like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are a "threat to democracy", chant the mainstream media. In fact, they are just reminding our politicians what they are supposed to be doing, says Prof James Alexander.

Jump To Comment: 3 2 1Dont forget the daily attacks on civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan. The so called 'terror' that struck London, Madrid and Bali is nothing compared to the moment by moment terror inflicted constantly, relentlessley, and ongoing for the next 40 years if you are to believe Blair and Bush.
After the 7/7 bombings in London Sky reported that Tony Blair was going to..... 'make it illegal to discuss the causes of terrorism'....
Why?. Same reason they banned the IRA from ever talking on tv, Section 31.
Behind every so called 'fundamentalist' theres a human rights issue.
There was a drill set up that day also, for coincodentally-exactly what happened.
This day began in the UK with a near shoot-to-kill incident in Bournemouth Railway station as a man reported as being innocent was held to the ground by armed officers in an incident which reminded many of the Juan De Menezes chapter which closed the events of the UK's Summer of Terror 2005.
The mornings newspapers carried concern for knife crime with hardly hidden ethnic slurs which seemed to forget the origins of the men whose images appear in the wikipedia CCTV picture in the comment above.
Then a formal remembrance service saw the London Mayor and UK Olympics minister pause silently before this card :-
"We honour the memory of those who died on 7/7 2005, we salute the courage of those who were injured and our thoughts and prayers are with all victims and their families."
"Today's commemoration has raised questions about compensation paid to over 700 people injured in the blasts. More than 70 compensation claims are yet to be fully paid out. The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority said it had "fully resolved" almost 90% of cases, paying out almost £7.5m.
Some victims of the bombings have indicated they do not want to mark the date, wanting instead to put the attacks behind them." http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/jul/07/july7.london
This contrasts sharply with the Madrid bombings where the 25% of murdered who had been migrants were granted citizenship in addition to compensation which ranged from 1.5 million Euros for fatalities to 30,000 euros for injured. In addition the Madrid bombings not only saw a full public and accountable trial with convictions and an inquiry - it too generated in its time "conspiracy theories" which we must note could not outlive the public inquiries.
There has been no such public and accountable and transparent inquiries into the events of July 7th to July 22nd, 2005 in London. There are 57 years for statutory release of all relevant information maybe the CCTV pictures will be ready for viewing by then. Ian Blair will probably have retired as chief of London Police and converted to Roman Catholicism. The G8 will still talk about poverty and wasting food and air conditioning. The Olympics will probably have pushed up real estate around Croke Park...,
Youtube & last link is to a film launched today by Raj Babbra to remember the life of his former long term girlfriend and best friend Benedetta Ciaccia.
(1) If you got this UK Crown evidence copyrighted photograph held on Wikipedia (*)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Londonbombing2.jpg you will see the 4 bombers as they appeared in a CCTV image timestamped 07h21 on the morning of July 7 2005.
You should notice something. In case you don't notice it, look at the background railings and see how they pass both behind and in front of the man who is not properly reflected in the wall. You just need to trace the railing in the centre of the photograph. Don't worry if you didn't notice it. Most people didn't. Those who did chose not to make such a big deal about it at the time.
(2) Netanyahu was in London for an investment conference and his hotel was within 200 metres of the bus and it would be surprising if his entourage had not employed frequency inhibitor devices such as are or have been used in Madrid, NYC, London and northern Ireland, these have been known to trigger explosive devices prematurely.

Very few people died in the July 7th bombings & we all have learned many lessons since then.
There has still been no public inquiry.
