Labour, Liberty and Law
September 2005
Metropole Hotel, Brighton

Artist David Hockney was the star of the show as Forest took the Labour party conference in Brighton by storm.

Featured on the front page of the Guardian, interviewed by the Independent and Sunday Times, featured by the Daily Telegraph and The Times and interviewed by Andrew Neil for BBC Television, Hockney was the principal speaker at Forest's fringe event entitled Labour, Liberty and Law.

A packed meeting, chaired by Claire Fox of the Institute of Ideas, heard from a panel of speakers including Sue Carroll of the Daily Mirror; Sue Brealey, co-author of The Joy of Smoking; musician Joe Jackson; and Simon Clark, director of Forest.

"The campaign against passive smoking provides one of the most dramatic examples of how science can be bent and distorted for ideological reasons."
