Britain’s first female Muslim Cabinet minister, Baroness Warsi, is to deliver a lecture at St Mary’s University, Twickenham entitled Terrorising Britain which will question whether the responses from successive governments to terrorism following the 7/7 bombings ten years ago has left Britain feeling any safer.
It will also ask whether Britain is terrorised by what groups like Daesh (ISIS) may be planning, or if the fear between communities is also terrorising Britain. Drawing on her experiences of sitting at the top table during policy discussions, Baroness Warsi will explore the answers to these questions and the effects of these policies on communities across Britain.
The lecture on 10 December will be Baroness Warsi’s first lecture at St Mary’s since being appointed Visiting Professor earlier this year.
