Once again, proof that satire is dead. How can it compete with a Manchester arts group (HOME) inviting Hillary Rodham Clinton to be interviewed as part of its human rights celebration? And MANCHESTER of all places -- a city that suffered the terrorist attack on the Arena in which 22 young people died and hundreds more were injured. An atrocity carried out by a Libyan terrorist who belonged to an anti-Gaddafi group supported and funded by the British intelligence services, whose cause had been taken up by the US in deliberately smashing that country to pieces, murdering its leader, and leaving it in turmoil and bloodshed -- principally cheerleader, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. And now this same city is welcoming a war criminal ultimately responsible for the Arena bombing (along with Theresa May, then home secretary) to celebrate human rights. The following is the press release just issued by HOME. If you feel moved to comment or protest about this invitation, you can find a link by googling HOME. I've emailed them and will be circulating my response to the local media in the north-west. ***************************** This week we announced brand new events for the Ripples of Hope Festival, a celebration of human rights organised by Robert F Kennedy Human Rights UK. Join Simon Armitage, the Poet Laureate, as he presents 30 poets who have responded to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in moving and powerful style. And next week, tickets will go on sale for In Conversation With Hillary Rodham Clinton, a transatlantic discussion of Secretary Clinton's extraordinary life, hosted by Baroness Helena Kennedy QC. |
