Dear Members,

Just to let you know the Middle East Society is having its second event of the term this Monday (23rd October). Clare Short is speaking on "Justice in the Middle East - the key to international progress." She will be taking questions from the audience afterwards.

Clare Short quit her cabinet position of Secretary of State for International Development in 2003 over the Iraq war. Since then she has maintained her fierce criticism of the prime minister for his role in taking the country into Iraq and even going so far as to demand his resignation.

This week she resigned from the Labour Party and is now presenting herself as
an independent candidate.

Date: Monday 23rd October
Venue: Old Refectory, Wadham College
Time: 8pm
