The Greater London Assembly passed a motion called for an Enquiry into 7/7, on May 28 2007 - after a group of survivors and bereaved familes gave in a petition calling for such on 1st May.
Also, the Conservative Party now favours an Enquiry into 7/7: 'The case for an independent inquiry into the attacks of July 2005 is now overwhelming' said David Davis, Shadow Home Secretary, also in May 2007. So Rachel is having quite a bit of influence! |

I have a few Lib Dems on record and George Osbourne saying they would back an inquiry

| Quote: | Spooks and being spooked
'I wish life were like ‘Spooks’, where everything is (a) knowable, and (b) soluble by six people'
- then-M15 Chief Eliza Manningham Buller in November 2006
J and I have just belatedly discovered the excellent BBC series Spooks, which is one reason for the lack of blogging recently, (the other reasons being tax return admin, which I loathe doing, having a sore shoulder from a pole-dancing strain that makes using the mouse painful for long periods, and working on book two.) Having watched Spooks Series 1 over Christmas, and found ourselves completely gripped after two episodes, J and I rushed out and got all the other series in the HMV January sale, and have been sitting white-knuckled clutching our mugs of cold tea on the edge of the sofa ever since. It's such a pleasure when you discover something you like, and then find out that there are 5 more series of it to enjoy at your leisure.
On the subject of terrorism and intelligence, the Observer magazine led with a big investigative feature on the UK Jihadi network. Readers of this blog will have seen a lot of similar stuff before, but it is well worth a read.
Meanwhile Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, who seemed a very nice, sensible woman when I had a meeting with her a few months ago, has revealed in an unguarded interview in the Sunday Times that she wouldn't feel safe walking the streets of Hackney after dark. Diane Abbott, my MP, has now invited Jacqui to go on a late night stroll with her around the streets of Hackney and Stoke Newington. I don't usually get spooked walking about at night where I live - though I tend to restrict myself to late-night food-and-DVD runs to the local shops where I know all the shop keepers. And which ones have baseball bats under their counters. |
The reference to the UK jihadi network was Jason Burke:

Sample:
| Quote: | | The twin images, of the young men swiftly saying goodbye at the station, and of the shredded bus, with its top deck peeled back by the blast, have become iconic, summing up both the new terrorism that is striking the UK and the apparent banality of the men who perpetrate it. |
The first "image" has never been released. It is seared into the consciousness of the population, apparently.

| I think the you'll find the Inquiries Act 2005 killed off the prospect of independent inquiries into any subject. |
