Topic: Alice Mahon


  
 Alice Mahon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alice Mahon (born September 28, 1937) is an English politician, trade unionist and Labour Party politician.
Mahon told the court that she considered the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999 to have been illegal and “purely political”.
Mahon said that Walker had been involved with the Contra paramilitaries in Nicaragua in the Eighties and recalled that conversations with soldiers, charity workers and Kosovo residents had led her to believe that the OSCE was under the influence of the American CIA.

Barring a change in the law, the next general election in the United Kingdom must be held some time before June 30, 2006.
Alice Mahon's testimony, who is the President of the Committee for the peace on Balkans as well, and her visit to Serbia, not allowable in the Party top, caused a truth shock in the British Government and among the members of the Labour Party who are supporting the aggression.
Labour party leadership and the Prime Minister Blair are going to lecture Alice Mahon, because her truth is endangering the aggressor policy of the Downing St. and Whitehall, the press claims.

 Serbia Info News / Deputy Alice Mahon, the first witness of the NATO destruction
The top of the Labour Party at first claimed that her visit to Serbia was paid by the Government in Belgrade but that was given up from very soon because it was announced that the costs were partly paid by herself and partly by the daily "Mirror" from London.
A journalist of the daily "Mirror" traveled with her in Serbia and is an additional problem to the Blair's government because the press was the witness as well as Mahon.
The aggressive and nervous reaction of the Blair's government on the opposing of the deputies to the NATO aggression suggest that the most important thing for the Blair's government is to stop the truth reach the publicity.

Response to Alice Mahon MP Labour MP Alice Mahon told the Commons the other day that "A support group has grown up around the Prime Minister, and it has singled out trade unionists as victims, which does the anti-war movement no good."
We have highlighted a wave of attacks by the "resistance" on trade unions because we think that this signals a concerted attempt to physically liquidate the leadership of the emerging Iraqi labour movement.
Alice added that [this] "does the anti-war movement no good at all." The way it is phrased, or recorded, makes it unclear what she refers to but it is not our responsibility if the antics of the Stop the War leadership (detailed elsewhere on this web site) harm the anti-war movement.
