Free speech would be restricted under Government plans to combat extremism, a senior Conservative MP warned in October.
David Davis said proposals for anti-extremism orders ‘just won’t work’. His comments were echoed by the Shadow Home Secretary, who cautioned that ministers must ‘proceed with the utmost caution’.
The criticism came ahead of David Cameron launching his Government’s counter-extremism strategy. Writing online, the Prime Minister said the ‘extremist narrative needs to be fought every day at the kitchen table, on the university campus, online and on the airwaves’.
