Time: 6pm
Date: 27th March 2003
Venue: Committee Room 5, City Hall, The Queen’s Walk, London (Nearest tube station London Bridge)
The Debate will examine the following:
• Whilst only 20 per cent of Londoners support Britain joining a US-led action against Iraq without United Nations approval, 72 per cent oppose it (YouGov survey, Feb. 2003). What does this mean for democracy?
• What are the possible repercussions of conflict on BME communities?

“And what reason have you that you should not fight in the way of Allah and of the weak among the men and the women and the children, (of) those who say: Our Lord! Cause us to go forth from this town, whose people are oppressors, and give us from Thee a guardian and give us from Thee a helper.”
