from The spiked podcast · host The spiked podcast

Jonathan Hall KC – the UK government’s independent reviewer of terrorism legislation – warns that Labour’s new definition of ‘anti-Muslim hostility’ is not fit for purpose. Here he tells spiked’s Georgina Mumford that it will not only fail in its aim of tackling prejudice against Muslims – it will also censor vital discussion on Islamism, terrorism and immigration, potentially emboldening religious hardliners and extremists.
