let us all continue to collect and report as much information as we can and let us then have those who are academically best able to collect that data and make it useful to our side of the debate and have the people who are best able to put forward that debate in a clear and level-headed manner take on that side of things. Be that they may or may not be the same people.
Thanks for the welcome Alexander.
I read your current draft of the paper you are producing and I am greatly impressed. It's good that we have someone with as much knowledge as yourself in the area who is prepared to put in the time for such things.
The paper has highlighted many things for me but not least that if we have a home office that can wash its hands of this issue and let it carry on regardless in light of such evidence then we clearly have a major problem with the UK which does not just sit with the incumbent government but UK law itself.
I understand that you will be attending the meeting? I have work that will prevent me from attending (more security this time involving airports and cargo ) but when I heard you might not go I was seriously considering trying to arrange someone to take you.
I'll look forward to more.

Yes I will be at meeting traffic permitting. I have a lecture until 1pm during which I have to give a presentation on the Human Rights Abuses at Guantanamo Bay, so I can't miss it; which means I will only have approx 5 hours to get there from Lancaster. I just hope I make it in time.
As for my paper, I did promise to finish it yesterday and I am disappointed with myself for having not done so. But, I decided I needed to spend some quality time with my family this weekend and to be honest I was feeling a little burnt out, so I took some time away from the keyboard. It is hard not to get emotional over such issues and whereas I agree emotions should not be permitted to get out of control, it is important that we make people emotional in order to finally make them stop and think about what these issues mean with regards to their own and their families' futures.
