The Strange Death of David Kelly

On 15 March, Shepway Lib Dems will welcome Norman Baker MP to discuss his book "The Strange Death of David Kelly", which was shortlisted for the Channel 4 Political Book of the Year Award 2008. Norman Baker researched the book for over a year, and has a mass of new material, much of which has never been revealed before.

The high-profile death of David Kelly is regarded by many as suspicious, and the events surrounding it as 'unfinished business'. Norman Baker has carried out extensive research, and shows how the verdict of suicide is not credible. The traditional inquest was replaced by the Hutton Report, which proved unsatisfactory in so many ways.

The book looks in detail at the motives for the unlawful death of Dr Kelly; the various possibilities of who could be involved - before sensationally coming down with the most likely scenario - to be revealed for the first time on publication.

The book also analyses and criticises the official process instigated after his death, putting the entire episode into its British political context, and looking at the actions of government, particularly in relation to the Iraq war.

Join Norman for a discussion of his findings over a chilli supper (meat and vegetarian options) on 15th March, at 7.30pm, at Newington Village Hall, Newington. Tickets cost £5 for members and £7 for non-members.

For tickets (advance booking required) book online at www.shepwaylibdems.org.uk/shop/#event-tickets or call Maureen Kincaid Speller on 01303 252 939 or email maureen@shepwaylibdems.org.uk
