7/7 Unanswered questions: Anything that defies my sense of reason....
So Charles Clarke is to offer us a "narrative of events" outlining how the largest most deadly terrorist attack on the British mainland, that killed 56 people, and injured over 700 others came about.
And that's it.
We will finally know what happened, and how it happened when the Home Secretary of the time tells us?!
Quarsan has already laid out the case for a public enquiry, pointing us to Rachel from Noth london's words on the subject. But there are other reasons why we need to establish the facts about what happened.
The Antagonist over at Anything that defies my sense of reason.... does a good job of drawing together the inconsistencies and impossibilities in the media 'Narrative'. His concerns about the timing of events, and the information put out by the police raise many unanswered questions about what happened that day.
You may not share his conclusions, but it is difficult not to be perturbed by the questions he asks, even more so when we learn there will be no formal investigation of these questions, just a "move along, move along, nothing to see here" statement from our government to attempt to dissuade us from finding out what happened, how it happened and why it happened.
Will Charles Clarke's "narrative" shed any light in these points?
I very much doubt it.
A full and comprehensive public inquiry is as important to prove the antagonist wrong, as it is to prove him right.
As I have said in my
As I have said in my comments here the *narrative* will be a load of mendacious shite. And as for Plod's investigative abilities remember this one at EU Referendum? Plod's gratuitous showboating of arresting and transporting 6 Somalis to Bradford following the murder of PC Sharon Beshenivsky. These *guilty* parties were quickly released and only this week have they arrested the party who is now belived to be the murderer.
The *narrative* will be exactly that, a story written by a tame civil servant letting PM Bliar, Plod Bliar and the Safety Elephant off scot-free. The Bliar can't afford to have the public enquiry, unless it is nobbled like Butler and Hutton, as it can only end badly for him and the *Cosa Nostra* he surrounds himself with.

Thanks for the link.
In fairness, none of this is about The Antagonist being right or wrong, it's about asking the questions to get to whatever the truth about July 7th might be.
I've seen the calls for a public inquiry and now is perhaps the opportune time to state that I believe the government's second denial of a public inquiry is a highly stage-managed effort by a provably mendacious and murderous government and administration who seek nothing more than to drag out talk of a public inquiry before making it look as though the sheer weight of public pressure and petitioning forced them into conducting one.
At some stage then, the government will cave in to the apparent public pressure demanding a public inquiry, after which a government approved inquiry will be conducted and published and the resulting narrative will be as illuminating as previous public inquiry whitewashes leaving nobody with any right to say they didn't have their public inquiry.
As such, only an independent people's inquiry into the horrific events of July 7th will suffice because proven liars who have murdered between 30,000 (Source: George Walker Bush) to 100,000 (Source: The Lancet) human beings in Iraq alone, solely on the basis of lies, can not, ever, tell the truth.
Add to this the recent revelations about 20 years of British Government involvement in the administration of the IRA and the call for a people's inquiry, a July 7th truth commission, speaks for itself.
