Food, drink, good company, and wise words …
Dear Friends,
Liberal Democrat Friends of Turkey is delighted to invite you to a pleasant evening with two excellent speakers; former Liberal Democrat Leader Charles Kennedy and Turkish Barrister Emma Edhem.
As later this year the European elections we will be contested, we have chosen a European theme for the evening, “European Identity in a Multicultural Society”. People are sceptical of government, but in Scotland the Scottish identity was strong enough for people to vote for their own Parliament. Previously we saw ourselves as European and we voted in favour of joining the EU. But what do we think today? And what about the perceptions of ethnic minorities, many of whom think of themselves as British rather than English. And does that also include being European?
Charles Kennedy is the former Liberal Democrat leader, president of the European Movement and Member of Parliament.
Emma Edham is the president of the Turkish British Legal Society and Company Secretary of the Turkish British Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
We are meeting at Shish (www.shish.com), one of our favourite restaurants conveniently located near Old Street tube in Central London.
313-319 Old St, EC1V 9LE
