Tomorrow July 7 will see the anniversary of a series of Terrorist events which occured in London and the UK in 2005. Apart from the list of dead and wounded the legacy of those events are continuing counter-terrorism laws and powers which were rushed through the UK's parliament at that time. To date there has been no official public inquiry into the Terrorist events from July 7th to July 22nd 2005. The inquest into the death of Jean Charles de Menezes in Stockwell Tube station London on the 22nd of July 2005 has been scheduled for 22nd September 2008 at Southwark Coroner's Court to be presided over by High Court Judge Sir Michael Wright QC. The setting of the inquest date was originally adjourned pending completion of the Health & Safety trial against the Office of the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, which concluded in October 2007 with a guilty verdict. read full story / add a comment

Shell are starting the dredging operation to begin laying the offshore part of the production pipeline to pump the raw gas from the Corrib field to their installation at Bellanaboy. The project has been criticised for separating the planning aspects of the offshore pipeline from the nine kilometres of onshore production pipeline which they want to cross the bog landscape and special areas of conservation around Rossport, county Mayo. The company have not got planning permission for route of the onshore pipeline, but are pressing ahead with the offshore pipe. Natural Resaources Minister Eamon Ryan, who once supported the local community in their fight against Shell's scheme, has made no statement in reaction to the Department of Transport's announcement (below). read full story / add a comment

Four years ago on July 7th 2004 at 09:47 an explosion occurred on a No. 30 double-decker bus in Tavistock Square, London. 13 people died. A shudder of terror went through all those who realised that a bus bomb could not be prevented, like perhaps a metro or subway bomb, with metal detectors or sniffer dogs that terror was compounded by the death and casualty figures in comparison to the total of 39 deaths for 3 rush hour underground trains. It was amazing anyone could survive. One did and has written a book which Amazon withdrew from distribution in March 2008. read full story / add a comment |
