CEG is saddened to hear of the passing of Sir Alex Younger, former Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service.

Sir Alex was one of our finest public servants. He combined a fierce intellect with an unassuming air & charm. Sir Alex's storied career & unrelenting dedication to keeping our country safe will be much discussed in the days ahead - as it should be.

However his generosity in sharing his time and his wisdom with the next generation may be less well understood. Sir Alex instinctively recognised the need to convey to young people the litany of threats we face. He understood these threats clearly & explained them masterfully as the inaugural patron of our Young Leaders programme.

Our thoughts are with his family at this time.

A new report from @CEGroupUK examines Britain's legal framework for tackling anti-Muslim hatred and the inherent challenges of creating an Islamophobia definition. The report is covered by @charleshymas in the @Telegraph https://t.co/e5uHopyCJS

[CounterExtremism @CEGroupUK]

Instead of new definitions, the Government should re-assert the existing religious-hate framework in a clear, one-page form to give communities confidence in equal protection & help institutions apply the law properly, avoiding special treatment, legal confusion & chilled speech
