Protect our rights - a briefing document on the (U.K.) government's anti-terrorism proposals

"This briefing examines together the Home Secretary’s proposals for three new offences (18 July), the Association of Chief Police Officers’ demand for more powers (21 July), the Prime Minister’s twelve point statement (5 August) and the Home Office consultation document on deportation and exclusion (5 August). This kind of government by press release is not conducive to much-needed debate and does not amount to meaningful consultation. To avoid the growing suspicion about a possible September “stitch-up” the government should make its full intentions clear immediately so all in civil society can have their say." Source: Statewatch
