While Europe sleeps ... By Tony Bunyan

This is a short excerpt from Tony Bunyan's chapter in our book The War on Freedom and

Democracy. "Five years on we know that the 'war on terrorism' is going to be permanent, not temporary. This is not because of 11 March 2004 (Madrid), 7 and 21 July 2005 (London) and terrible terrorist bombings elsewhere. It is also because the pre-conditions for further attacks persist and show no signs of abating - Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, US militarism, Guantanamo Bay, rendition and global free market economics which perpetuate poverty and gross inequality. The 'war on terrorism' is going to be permanent for another reason. There are major differences between the USA and the European Union (EU) over the war against the 'axis of evil' - Iraq, Iran and North Korea. However, there are few, if any, differences between them over the 'war on terrorism' - apart from ones of style. As to content we have seen the creation of the EU-US 'axis' on matters of tackling terrorism, money-laundering, organised crime, and crime in general not just at home but globally. The permanence of the 'war on terrorism' means that new repressive laws and powers given to the security and intelligence community and the law enforcement agencies (LEAs) cannot be seen as exceptional and time limited to meet a temporary crisis. In combination they change the relationship between the state and individual and, in turn, constitute the new norm."

The War on Freedom and DemocracyEssays on Civil Liberties in EuropeEdited by Tony Bunyan

The 'war on terror' has continued with no end in sight in the years since the attacks on the United States on 11 September 2001. It permeates the institutions of the body politic in Europe, sacrificing liberty and freedoms in the name of a constructed 'politics of fear' and demands for security.

We have learnt that the greatest threat to 'our way of life' and democracy comes not from terrorism but from our governments' reactions to it. The emergency measures that at first were presented as 'expectional' are now the norm.

These essays were prepared for the launch of the European Civil Liberties Network

No More HiroshimasWritten and translated by James Kirkup

In his new preface, James Kirkup explains the genesis of this little collection:

'These poems all have their roots in one late afternoon at the land workers’ hostel outside Ponteland, Northumberland. As we entered the hostel we got the news that the first American Atom Bomb had been dropped on Japan, on the city of Hiroshima. It was the first time we had heard of that place that was to become a universal symbol of man’s inhumanity towards his fellow men.’

Nuclear Reactors: Do we need more?By Christopher Gifford

A case for ‘fast track’ building of new nuclear reactors to counter global warming, to increase security of electricity supply or to plug the gap envisaged by the closure of existing power stations has not been made. Nuclear stations could not be appraised, licensed and built in time.

Energy from renewable sources has the greatest potential for reducing C02 emmisions but infrastructure changes, notably in the grid and in load management, will be needed. When adopted, we will have a cleaner, healthier planet, and a sustainable way of life.

New Labour's Attack on Public ServicesModernisation by Marketisation? How the commissioning, choice, competition and contestability agenda threatens public services and the welfare state.By Dexter Whitfield

New Labour is creating markets in public services on an unprecedented scale. Privatisation inevitably follows marketisation, eroding democratic accountability and embedding business interests. Alternative policies and strategies must build on the support for democratic governance, social justice and the welfare state. As this timely book makes clear, action by alliances of trade unions, community organisations and civil society organisations is urgently required.

Justice in War-TimeBy Bertrand Russell

Here is Russell’s brilliant commentary on the barbarism of trench warfare, and his horror at the blind, patriotic enthusiasm of his contemporaries who sent a whole generation to their death.

It was for holding the views in this book, and acting on them, that Russell was fined, deprived of his university lectureship at Cambridge, and finally sent to prison.

By Glen Rangwala & Dan Pleschwith a foreword by Adam Price MP

At the end of August, Members of Parliament in Britain joined together to start a process that could lead to the impeachment of Prime Minister Blair “for High Crimes and Misdemeanours in relation to the invasion of Iraq.

The MPs from different parties published a report setting out compelling evidence of deliberate repeated distortion, seriously misleading statements and culpable negligence on the part of the Prime Minister. The report throws light on a whole series of compelling details on the road to war.

Ken Coates provides a commentary on the facts that underlie this memorable exchange

Empire No More!... the Lion and Wolf shall ceaseBy Ken Coates

Wars and threats of war seethe all around us. The end of the Cold War, far from bringing a new era of universal peace, gave place to a frenzied new drive to build more powerful and deadly weapons, and a permanent Orwellian ‘war on terror’ which is self-renewing, and, it is to be feared, unwinnable.
