    Stop the War: The Story of Britain’s Biggest Mass Movement by Andrew Murray and Lindsey German, Bookmarks, 2005, 280 pp. Abdullah Muhsin and Gary Kent I am sorry. If you think I am going to sit back and agree with beheadings, kidnappings, torture and brutality, and outright terrorization of ordinary Iraqi and others, then you can forget it. I will not be involved whatsoever, to me it is akin to supporting the same brutality and oppression inflicted on Iraq by Saddam, and the invading and occupying forces of the USA. Mick Rix, former left-wing leader of the train drivers’ union, ASLEF, writing to Andrew Murray to resign from the Stop the War Coalition. Andrew Murray and Lindsey German are, respectively, the Chair and Convenor of the Stop the War Coalition. Their book tells a story about a ‘remarkable mass movement’ which the authors hope ‘can change the face of politics for a generation.’ It tracks the Coalition from its origins with no office, no bank account, just one full time volunteer, through the ‘chaos of its early meetings’ to the million-strong demonstration of February 2003. The book seeks to explain the Coalition’s success in bringing together the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and ‘the Muslim Community’ to create ‘the broadest basis ever seen for a left-led movement.’ The authors attack the ‘imperialist’ doctrines of George Bush and Tony Blair, criticise the arguments of the ‘pro-war left,’ and finish with a chapter opposing the occupation and demanding immediate troop withdrawal. In addition, the book includes a broad

  • Advice for Friends in Times Of
    Advice for Friends in times of war – guidance from Quaker Peace & Social Witness This was produced by Quaker Peace & Social Witness (QPSW) staff with experience of supporting British Friends through war situations. It seeks to bring together some of the learning from previous wars and is an attempt to help Friends to cope with a challenging context for a peace church. As individuals Many Quakers are particularly sensitised to the folly of war and are immediately roused to action when violence begins. Take care not to dwell overlong on distressing images and news reports of atrocities. You may find it helpful to remind yourselves that we are called to live out our faith through our understanding of the Light as revealed to us, and take courage. You are encouraged to take your concerns, your ideas for action, and your distress, to your faith community – your Quaker meeting. Your Quaker meeting The first place at which to raise your concern about war being conducted by UK forces on your behalf is your local Quaker meeting. You may wish to request a meeting for worship from which may emerge some leadings as to what the meeting may wish to say and do. It may be that Friends need help with thinking about the issue which has caused the war in the first place, and you all may need to do some personal research and return with your findings. You may wish to refer to religious text for guidance. Please be sensitive to those Friends in your meeting who may have different ideas from you about ways forward.

  • Conference Guide
    Autumn Conference 2012 Brecon 13 October 2012 Welcome Dear friends, It’s a great pleasure to welcome you to my home town of Brecon for the 2012 Welsh Liberal Democrat Autumn Conference. It’s been quite a challenging year for us as a party but this conference is going to be an opportunity for members to come together, discuss, debate and offer radical policies that will provide a strong platform for the Assembly elections in 2016. As you flick through this guide, you will see that the format of the Autumn Conference has changed. The weekend has been designed to ensure that members, the people who make this party what it is, have even more opportunities to question, to learn and to formulate party policy. There will also be an opportunity for members to look back at the local election campaign, learn lessons and develop new campaigning skills that will put us in good stead to take on the challenges ahead. And as ever, this will be an opportunity to catch up with old friends and form new bonds with Welsh Liberal Democrats from all across Wales. Have a great conference, Kirsty Williams AM Leader, Welsh Liberal Democrats Autumn Conference 2012 2 Brecon Contents Conference Timetable 4 Information Conference Venue 8 Travel 9 Security 10 Registration 12 Information about the Motions 14 Speaking at Conference 17 Order of Debate & Voting 19 Procedural Motions 20 Party Business 21 Policy 27 Campaigning 33 Evening Events 35 Standing Orders 36 Autumn Conference 2012 Brecon 3 Conference Timetable The 2012 Autumn Conference will take a different format to past Conferences.

  • Prosecuting Terrorism: the Old Bailey Versus Belmarsh by Clive Walker
    Prosecuting terrorism: the Old Bailey versus Belmarsh by Clive Walker Consistent with his “war on terror” paradigm, President George W Bush asserted that “it is not enough to serve our enemies with legal papers” (State of the Union Address, January 20, 2004). In resonance with this view, the prime legal focus in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 was more upon Belmarsh rather than the Old Bailey – in other words, upon detention without trial and latterly on control orders rather than prosecutions. However, this era of executive action is fading in United Kingdom domestic law. The first part of this paper will examine the foundations for the reinvigoration of criminal justice. The second part will explore the present and future implications for criminal justice. THE PRIMACY OF CRIMINAL terrorism, or new police powers to investigate potential PROSECUTION crimes, notably, 28 day detention.
