Ed Fordham

This blog draws on current affairs, local history, politics, international relations (esp. Africa, the Carribean and the Middle East). My work as a School Governor will creep in and my interest in genealogy and the poet Robert Bloomfield. I live in NW6 Kilburn/West Hampstead so that features too. I co-ordinate and administer the Historic Kilburn Plaque Fund as well as being a Trustee of the Kilburn Festival. Contact: ed.fordham@gmail.com facebook page: ed fordham twitter: edfordham

Ed Fordham's Countdown to Christmas Day 1

I recently challenged Glenda Jackson over her failure to attend an important vote in Parliament whilst debating at the BRAT Hustings in Kilburn

In the 24 days leading up to Christmas, I will be recapping some of the campaigns and issue I have been involved in throughout 2009.

Ed Fordham’s Countdown to Christmas Day 1 – Protecting our civil liberties

Back in January I was working hard to highlight the impact of clauses in the Coroners & Justice Bill on personal liberty. Sadly, the Labour Government failed to reflect the views of it's political tradition and have, during the bill’s passage through parliament, pursued an increasingly authoritative tone and stance... shameful really.
