Current Affairs - In Reply to Charles Clarke Email- Your views on fighting terrorism By Sean Atkinson

Dear Mr Clarke, I am terribly upset with laws you are trying and thankfully failing, to enshrine. If you give in and remove our hard won freedoms then those who oppose democracy will have won. In an ironic twist where you try to bring order and peace, you will bring strangulation and insurgence. Where you try to bring safety and security you will bring needless imprisonment and suffering. The actions to Read more...

Current Affairs - ID Cards - A Goldrush For Some By Martin Fuller

	David Blunkett's latest resignation has highlighted an aspect of government plans to introduce ID cards and create a data base to back them up. They will be worth a fortune to those who invest in the companies who win the contracts to have us all bar coded, logged and registered. Blunkett invested and took a directorship in a company that specialises in DNA Read more...

Current Affairs - In Reply to Charles Clarke Email- Your views on fighting terrorism By Paul Whitlow and B E Robinson

Dear Mr. Clarke. Of course I think our laws should be updated when necessary, with due regard for civil liberties, after full debate in the House. If people cannot be brought to trial because laws have not kept pace with modern technology, for example, the law must be updated. However, the creation of new offences should be undertaken with great care. Religious tolerance allows for criticism and has an Read more...

Current Affairs - In Reply to Charles Clarke Email- Your views on fighting terrorism By Martin Deane

I am emailing you today to find out your views on the action the Government is proposing to take to challenge the new terrorist threats that face all of us.

Current Affairs - Reply to Lee Cassanell's Election Wars 2: Enter The Candidates By Lydia Rivlin

I happened upon your page devoted to the last election only yesterday and even though the time is past, felt moved to protest that possibly Lee Cassanell was being a tad of a particle of a sliver of a shadow of a teensy weensy bit unfair to me. Most importantly, I am not a pensioner. That's really too awful. Calculating a woman's age upwards is an ungentlemanly act, uncharacteristic of Read more...

Current Affairs - No To Identity Cards! By Martin Fuller

	The Government is preparing to push through legislation to introduce national identity cards with a bill on 28th June. Speculation is that they hope to bulldoze the whole thing through before public opposition can mobilise. That is, before the public come to realise the full implications Read more...

Current Affairs - Hull Primary Schools By Rob Rooney

	Self-proclaimed socialist councillor Daren Hale washes his hands of Hull primary schools in their looming financial crisis and even goes so far as to suggest ways of schools balancing their books i.e. making redundancies, leaving vacancies empty etc. Statements like this give socialists a bad name, Daren! It's only a few weeks Read more...

Current Affairs - The Election 2005 - Another One Crossed Off The List by Rich Mills with 7 page photo gallery by Mo

	The Election 2005 was a colourful and amazing spectacle, especially closer than most to the action. Not for me the putting of an X against the name of some stranger, who is then supposed to represent your interest in Parliament. No I was much more involved in our democratic process. Acting as a Polling Agent for Martin Deane of the Green Party, I spent the day at the very Read more...

	After the near beatification of Ronald Reagan recently, it falls to the peace movement to do the honours once again on the occasion of Colin Powell's recent resignation.
