What a terrible mistake! The ID requirement for voting was enacted by Boris Johnson's Tories to stop poor people & minorities from voting (presumably for a competent government): Johnson just doesn't fit since he is from the elite of out-of-touch Etonians.

Good for the bishop: She's quite entitled to support those who blocked the buses on their 'extraordinary rendition' of asylum seekers from Margate in Kent to the Bibby Stockholm (Sunak's 21st Century prison hulk) near my home in Dorset theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

And of course the inestimable Moazzam Begg who has come three times to Afghanistan to help Aafia

I love my interns, but the idea of the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) letting their interns decide which innocent people need DNA testing (or hopefully a full evidentiary & forensic evaluation) is beyond a joke! theguardian.com/law/2024/may/0… Really they should beg the experts to do it (at APPEAL)

Moving moment today in what was, in 2003-04, the Isolation cell room at Bagram with Tpoo who WAS THERE in another cell when #AafiaSiddiqui was being tortured there ⁦AafiaMovement⁩ ⁦Dr. Fowzia Siddiqui⁩ ⁦Moazzam Begg⁩

I’m trying to recruit for ⁦Broadwindsor CC⁩ & Marauders here in my Kabul hotel! ⁦Peter Oborne⁩

This is important: it is shocking that there are attacks on ⁦Mirza Shahzad Akbar⁩ even in England! #calloffthedogs

About to get on another plane to Kabul for #Aafia : I hope with Moazzam Begg & our allies there to find plenty more witnesses for her. AafiaMovement Dr. Fowzia Siddiqui

The sad funeral of Jim Reeve yesterday was at St Mary’s Church right across Arthur Rd from the scene of Muriel McKays kidnap Dec 31 1969…Adam Hosein was involved in that + the wrongful conviction & death sentence imposed on Kris Maharaj in 1986 (detailed in my book ‘Injustice’)

Enslavement profits: surely Richard Drax MP (Dorset) should give Drax Hall to Barbados rather than take £3.2 million for it (more than most people receive in their whole lives!) theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…

Excellent premiere of Zeina el Debs' film about #Aafia today in Manchester, enthusiasm in the crowd to make sure Aafia is freed soon. Dr. Fowzia Siddiqui AafiaMovement

Before & After thanks to generous furniture gifts: I moved Marita Maharaj (age 84) into her new home yesterday-now we need to get Kris (85) back to be with her! It's cost my little non-profit £6k so far so your donations gratefully received paypal.com/donate?campaig…
