UK : East : Ipswich praised for race relations I agree with the report to an extent but TBH I think much of the stability more because of the CCTV and cops constantly watching everyone (and stopping fights in town etc fairly quickly) and "market-led multiculturalism" (i.e people have to do business with each other so hold back their real feelings in order to keep the customers) - rather than a real tolerance and acceptance of other cultures....
that said it comes across as better than in other regions of Eastern England and is probably as good as things are ever going to get in this country or even the World..

Ipswich praised for race relations
19 August 2006 | 01:16
AS THE foiled terror plot to blow up transatlantic flights causes tensions between ethnic groups nationwide, a community leader from Ipswich has today praised the town for its admirable race relations.
Sushil Soni, honorary vice president of the Ipswich and Suffolk Council for Race Equality, has spoken in the aftermath of last Thursday's attempted mid-flight bombings.
While Muslim leaders across Britain are working tirelessly to restore trust between different faiths, Mr Soni has commended the attitudes in Ipswich.
Mr Soni, who moved to the UK from India in 1962, said: “Community relationships in Ipswich are very strong.
“The effect of September 11 in New York and the July 7 London bombings by terrorists hardly left any scar on the town of Ipswich and I'm happy to say that seems to be the case with the latest terror scare.
“It has caused tension across the country but here in Ipswich we should recognise the fact the groundwork has been done to stop it.
“I heard a couple of people in the town saying they had a funny look on the streets after 9/11 or 7/7 but it soon filtered out. We are very lucky here.”
Mr Soni is among a group of community leaders from ethnic minority groups who have strived to maintain good relations, working closely with the police and civic authorities.
He is a founder member of the Ipswich and Suffolk Indian Association, a teacher for SIFRE, the Suffolk Interfaith Resource, a member of the local education authority's Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education (SAFRE) and secretary for the Eastern Region Unison Black Members Group.
Mr Soni said: “Of course there's always more which can be done to build on the existing relationships. “One of the reasons we held an Indian mela festival this summer was to get people together - it was a great gathering.
“We make people aware we are always here and willing to help.”

More Propaganda Than Plot Friday, August 18th, 2006

"More Propaganda Than Plot" - Former British Ambassador on Alleged UK Terror Plot
Questions have been raised over whether British authorities were pressured by the United States to make the arrests last week in the alleged terror plot to blow up transatlantic airliners. We speak with former British ambassador Craig Murray who says, "The one thing of which I am certain is that the timing is deeply political. This is more propaganda than plot." A judge in Britain has ruled police have until next week to continue to hold 23 suspects arrested in the alleged plot to blow up airplanes bound for the United States.
British police arrested 24 people in raids last week. One person has since been released. No one has been charged with a crime.
A senior British official told NBC News that British police were planning to continue to run surveillance for at least another week to try to obtain more evidence. The British official suggested the attack was not imminent, saying the suspects had not yet purchased any airline tickets. Some did not even have passports.
Now, a former British ambassador is suggesting that the timing of the arrests has been deeply political and should be viewed with skepticism. Craig Murray is Britain's former ambassador to Uzbekistan. He was removed from the post two years ago in part because of his outspoken criticism of Uzbekistan's human rights record.

The British government is reportedly considering an airport screening system that would include identifying passengers by their ethnic or religious background. Security at British airports was radically tightened last week after authorities claimed they foiled the alleged terror plot. Increased passenger searches have caused significant delays at airports in Britain and calls have increased for profiling to select travelers for searching.

airport screening by race there have been some media reports that the British govt is considering introducing airport security screening accoring to ethic origin (read: persecution for travelling while Asian)
bearing this in mind, in the recent climate of extreme security in London's airports, I thought it was interesting that my white (but non-british) wife was allowed to enter the country through a London airport with a foreign passport that has broken during the journey; the ID page had become detatched from the passport and the photo was sliding around inside the detached, laminated page
I'm pleased, obviously, that the immigration service allowed some leaway and were kind enough to overlook this, so that she could come 'home' from visiting her family
but I wonder what would have happened if her skin was a different colour?

1 WHEN IS A CEASEFIRE NOT A CEASEFIRE?
If the UN Resolution 1701 helps stop the killing in Lebanon and Israel, it is to be welcomed. The chances are slim because the resolution was co-written by Israel and has all the elements needed for Israel to continue its barbaric attacks, which have killed over 1100 civilians in Lebanon, one third of them children, and destroyed much of the country's infrastructure.
The resolution calls on Israel to end "offensive military operations" but Israel did not name its army the Israeli Defence Force for nothing. Throughout its history it has insisted that all of its military activities have been acts of "self defence".
The resolution makes no mention of the countless war crimes Israel has committed over the past month, for example those under the Nuremberg Charter, which make Israel guilty of "crimes against peace" for "the wanton destruction of cities, towns or villages, or devastation not justified by military necessity" and guilty of "crimes against humanity" through the perpetration of acts of "murder,... and other inhumane acts committed against any civilian population, before or during the war...".

3) SATURDAY 19 AUGUST: DAY OF ACTION
Hezbollah has said consistently that it will stop firing its rockets, if Israel stops its destruction of Lebanon and removes all its military from the country. Israel's only response has been to intensify its aggression and it now has 30,000 soldiers occupying southern Lebanon. There can be no peace in Lebanon or Israel until there is an unconditional ceasefire and the complete withdrawal of all Israel troops. This is why Stop the War has organised a PROTEST AT THE ISRAELI EMBASSY in London
at 2pm on Saturday 19 August (see below), calling for Israel to get out of Lebanon and Gaza.

4) TERROR PLOT: WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON
How convenient. As the Bush/Blair wars in Iraq and Afghanistan sink ever further into mass slaughter and chaos, as the Bush and Blair supported Israeli attack on Lebanon achieves none of the warmongers aims and provokes worldwide revulsion and as Israel’s daily brutality against defenceless Palestinians in Gaza intensifies, without a hint of condemnation from Bush and
Blair, along comes "another 9/11", aimed at justifying the "war on terror" and at diverting the media's attention from the disasters of the Bush/Blair foreign policy.
Former British ambassador, Craig Murray, who knows from the inside more than most about the spin machine behind the "war on terror", says, "This is more propaganda than plot. Of the over one thousand British Muslims arrested under anti-terrorist legislation, only twelve per cent are ever charged with anything. That is simply harassment of Muslims on an appalling scale.
Of those charged, 80% are acquitted. Most of the very few - just over two per cent of arrests - who are convicted, are not convicted of anything to do terrorism, but of some minor offence the Police happened upon while trawling through the wreck of the lives they had shattered. Be sceptical. Be very, very sceptical." TO READ CRAIG MURRAY'S ARTICLE IN FULL, GO TO:

Whatever the truth of the latest terrorism alert, George Bush and Tony Blair's aim in the media frenzy they have orchestrated over the last week is, in the words of writer Jonathan Cook, "less about fighting terrorism and more about silencing those who dissent from the West's endless wars against the Middle East."

5) ALL ROADS LEAD TO MANCHESTER
The recent events in Lebanon and Gaza highlight yet again the necessity for ending Tony Blair's slavish support for George Bush's wars. The Labour Party's annual conference in Manchester is where that message, representing the views of the majority of people in this country, can most pointedly be brought home. The TIME TO GO demonstration on Saturday 23 September, organised by Stop the War and CND is generating a huge response across the country.
Details of coaches bringing protestors from towns and cities, big and small, are now pouring into the Stop the War office.
Local demonstrations and public rallies are being organised by virtually every local Stop the War group, aimed at publicising the demonstration and mobilising the widest support. Tickets for the special London to Manchester train chartered by Stop the War are selling very fast, whether its trade unions booking whole carriages or Stop the War supporters buying individual seats (book yours now if you want to be sure of a ticket). FOR COACH AND TRAIN DETAILS, GO TO http://tinyurl.com/k7jhz

8) WHAT PLANET IS GEORGE BUSH ON?
George Bush keeps on insisting that Iraq under the US/UK occupation is progressing towards democracy and stability. Here is the reality, as shown in the ever increasing level of attacks on the occupying armies by the Iraqi resistance:
When the US appointed an Iraqi Governing Council in July 2003, attacks by the Iraqi resistance averaged 16 daily. When Saddam Hussein was captured in December 2003, the average was 19. When the US handed-over "sovereignty" in June 2004, it was 45 attacks daily. When Iraq held its elections for a transitional government in January 2005, it was 61. When Iraqis voted in
December 2005 for a permanent government, it was 75. When US forces killed Abu Musab al Zarqawi in June 2006, it was up to 90.
The truth is, US and UK troops increasingly stay in their barracks, because Iraq is now one of the least safe and most insecure countries in the world, for the Iraqi people and occupying armies alike, and will remain so until the last foreign soldier is removed from Iraqi soil and the Iraqi people are free to decide for themselves how they want to govern their country and control their own resources.

9) CIVILISATION'S FACE: DEPLETED URANIUM
One of the favourite weapons of the invading armies in Iraq is shells coated with depleted uranium. An estimated 130 tons of have been used in the Iraq war by America and Britain. A shell coated with depleted uranium pierces a tank like a hot knife through butter, exploding on impact into a charring inferno. It leaves behind a fine radioactive dust with a half-life of 4.5
billion years.
Depleted uranium can enter the human body by inhalation, the most dangerous method; by ingesting contaminated food or eating with contaminated hands; by getting dust or debris in an open wound, or by being struck by shrapnel, which often is not removed because doing so would be more dangerous than leaving it. Inhaled, it can lodge in the lungs. As with imbedded shrapnel, this is doubly dangerous — not only are the particles themselves physically destructive, they emit radiation.
Thousands of US army veterans, are suffering from crippling conditions, which they insist are due to their exposure to depleted uranium. In Iraq, doctors report significant increases in birth defects and childhood cancers. Depleted uranium also contaminates soil and water, and coats buildings with radioactive dust, which can by carried by wind and sandstorms. In 2005, the U.N. Environmental Program identified 311 polluted sites in Iraq. Cleaning them will take at least $40 million and several years, the agency said. Nothing can start until the fighting stops.
We need to remember this, every time we hear George Bush or Tony Blair say they are bringing "civilisation" to the Middle East.

LONDON (Reuters) - British police said on Thursday they have thwarted a plot to blow up aircraft in mid-flight, arresting a number of people in the London area.
Police said the aim of the plot was to detonate bombs smuggled on board aircraft in hand luggage.
"A major terrorist plot to allegedly blow up aircraft in mid-flight has been disrupted in a joint, pre-planned, intelligence-led operation by the metropolitan police anti-terrorist branch and security services," a police spokesman said.
He said police believes that the intention was particularly to target flights from Britain to the United States.

1) BRING CHILDREN'S SHOES TO THE DEMONSTRATION
Children are the main victims of the Bush and Blair wars. Almost half of
those killed so far in Lebanon are children. They make up one third of
the 3,225 injured, and about 45 per cent of the nearly one million
Lebanese refugees are under the age of 18. (SEE
http://tinyurl.com/r72kl)
Bring children's shoes to the national demonstration on Saturday 5
August. We will leave them at 10 Downing Street. We want a mountain of
children's shoes outside Tony Blair's home to symbolise the horror at
his complicity in war crimes.
And where will Tony Blair be on Saturday, when tens of thousands will
march past his home calling for an immediate ceasefire, when the
majority of people in Britain support that call, when many in Blair's
party are calling for a recall of Parliament, when almost all of his
ministers say Israel's onslaught must stop now? He'll be sunning himself
on holiday in Barbados.
Please bring children's shoes on Saturday to leave on Tony Blair's
doorstep. Bring them in memory of the hundreds killed in Lebanon. Bring
them in memory of the hundreds killed in Palestine. Bring them in memory
of the tens of thousands killed in Bush and Blair's illegal wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan.
But bring them most of all in the knowledge that if we raise our voices
loud enough and if we mobilise overwhelming support for the cause of
peace, we can stop Tony Blair's serial warmongering and help prevent any
more deaths of children caused by his slavish support for George Bush.

2) THEY'RE COMING FROM EVERY CORNER OF BRITAIN
Nearly fifty cities and towns from every corner of Britain -- from
Glasgow to Exeter, from Swansea to Norwich -- are sending hundreds of
coaches to London for Saturday's demonstration. (details:
http://tinyurl.com/fzq2g). People in towns throughout the land have
arranged to meet in groups to come by train to London.
This nationwide mobilisation is unprecendented for an emergency
demonstration called at such short notice. In London itself, hundreds of
volunteers have been leafletting tube stations, shopping centres,
mosques, churches etc (we still need more help: Call 020 7278 6694).
The nationwide outrage at the carnage in Lebanon and Gaza will be
expressed by many tens of thousands in London on Saturday. Stop the War
has not experienced the level of response it is getting since February
2003, before the outbreak of the Iraq war. Over 1000 people every day
are asking to be put on our mailing list to be kept informed of our
activities.
There is still time to spread the details of the demonstration even
wider. People who know about the demonstration will want to be on it.
Tell everyone you know. Download the leaflet from our website and
distribute it wherever you can. Tell everyone to bring children's shoes
to leave on Tony Blair's doorstep.

3) MUSLIM COUNCIL OF BRITAIN SUPPORTS SATURDAY'S DEMONSTRATION
The most prominent Muslim organisation in the country, the Muslim
Council of Britain (MCB), which has been a frequent vistor to 10 Downing
Street, has called on all Muslims to support the Stop the War
demonstration on Saturday 5 August. Its call has gone to mosques and
Muslim organisations throughout Britain. If you have a mosque near you,
download the MCB letter from the Stop the War website
(http://tinyurl.com/psdzp) and visit the mosque to encourage its members
to join Saturday's demonstration, which will unite Muslims with
non-Muslims in our common cause of demanding an immediate and
unconditional ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza.
***********************************
4) THE INDEPENDENT SUPPORTS THE DEMONSTRATION
The Independent newspaper is sponsoring a special, limited edition
CEASFIRE NOW T-shirt, created especially for the demonstration by
leading fashion designer Katherine Hamnett. Cut out the voucher from The
Independent and exchange it for the T-Shirt at cost price at the
demonstration. Then wear it on the demonstration so its message is
displayed by hundreds of protestors. There will be a stall at Speakers
Corner, the demonstration assembly point, for exchanging your voucher.
The Independent has also launched a HELP SAVE THE CHILD VICTIMS OF WAR
campaign (http://tinyurl.com/r72kl), which reinforces our call for
everyone to bring children's shoes to Saturday's demonstration to leave
on Tony Blair's doorstep.
***********************************
5) MORE STEWARDS URGENTLY NEEDED
All the signs are that our CEASEFIRE NOW demonstration will be much
bigger than would usually be expected for a demonstration called in the
August holiday period and with barely a week's notice to build it. We
need more stewards to help organise on the day of the demonstration. If
you can help, please telephone the national Stop the War office on 020
7278 6694 or email your contact details to office@stopwar.org.uk.
***********************************
6) MANY THANKS FOR YOUR DONATIONS
We have had the most wonderful response to our emergency appeal to fund
Saturday's demonstration and to continue the campaign against the
Bush/Blair wars, which they are now threatening ever more loudly to
extend to Syria and Iran. Stop the War Coalition would like to thank
everyone who contributed and encourage anyone who hasn't to send a
donation now.
We need to continue raising the level of our opposition to the
Bush/Blair wars, if we are to ensure that they do not cause ever
escalating slaughter of innocent civilians and the destruction of whole
countries. It is the inspiring generosity of our supporters which has
helped Stop the War build the biggest anti-war campaign in British
history. We still have much work to do. Please donate.
