PRESS RELEASE - 15 JULY 2005
EXCERPTS FROM BBC PHONE-IN UPLOADED
A recording of a phone-in on BBC's Greater Manchester Radio station at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday 13 July has been uploaded to
www.sysos.co.uk/GMR1.mp3.
The recording includes the contributions made by Cheadle by-election Alliance For Change candidate, John Allman.
The Alliance For Change candidate almost failed to attend the studio on time, because of a bomb scare, which persuaded police to cut off the BBC building to most visitors. He parked some distance away and walked, despite the BBC warning him by telephone that he would be denied access to attend the pre-arranged appointment in the studio, and attempting to cancel the studio appointment.
Happily, it was announced that the bomb scare was officially over, funnily enough within a few seconds after Mr Allman and his personal assistant at last succeeded in gaining entrance to the BBC building, by a back door, after a period of further delay. The further delay was the result of being challenged by a security guard, who seemed in no hurry to verify that Mr Allman was an invited studio guest, due on air within minutes, when he was trying to enter the premises. No explanation is available as to why police were preventing access to the BBC building about an hour after the "controlled explosion" of an innocent package at a different location in Manchester.

Mr Allman was able, after all, perhaps for the first time in history, to inform listeners to a live BBC radio broadcast, that there is an international campaign going on, against electromagnetic weapons. The British government has disclosed in writing that it does not want electromagnetic weapons to be discussed publicly. Some of the relevant correspondence is published on www.slavery.org.uk.
The European Parliament has called for such weapons to be banned. The call for a ban is supported (but without prominence being given to the issue) by: the Lib Dems' leader, Charles Kennedy MP, the two Green Party MEPs, George Galloway MP, and various figures within the Christian People's Alliance and Operation Christian Vote.
One example of this class of weapons is described by the US Army, at:

Mr Allman has received a number of complaints from listeners who called the show wishing to put questions or comments about the international campaign against electromagnetic weapons, but who were given the clear impression that listener calls on this subject weren't considered appropriate by the BBC. This is despite the subject being one that had been raised in one participating candidates' election address leaflets, both at the Cheadle by-election, and at the earlier general election.
