Summary of gaping holes in UK government's official 7/7 narrative

I don't pretend that this is 100% accurate or entirely comprehensive but it's my attempt - following the Press TV 'London Bombings Enquiry Debate' to sum up the most cogent holes in the official 7/7 story.

As you may remember I put out a pledge appeal for some dosh to make a film on this subject but didn't get enough takers. Read more >>

Why voting in the London Assembly elections is anti-fascist

Jennette Arnold is chair of the Labour Group on the London Assembly. Whilst there might be a lot of people who read Indymedia that have little interest in what a Labour politician has to say, she sets out very convincingly an argument as to how voting in May's London Assembly elections for anyone but the BNP will decrease their chances of gaining any seats. The article is from the Guardian:

http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/jennette_arnold/2008/03/why_i_fear_the_bnp.html

To summarise: Seats are awarded proportionally. The BNP need 5% of the vote to get a seat. The more people who vote for anyone other than the BNP, the more votes the BNP need to secure to win a seat. Simple as that!
