Prevent, the government's 'counter-extremism' program, is a legal duty across the public sector - but not enough people know what it really entails. We've made this short explainer video outlining how Prevent operates and the ways in which it threatens our civil liberties.

[Jonathan AC Brown @JonathanACBrown]

This is very important to listen to; British gov. is doubling down on its ineffective, oppressive Prevent policies with no thought for the mountain of evidence that's piled up against it.

The Shawcross review of Prevent urges the destruction of any semblance of free expression and multiculturalism in Britain. I spoke to Peter Oborne, Dr Layla Aitlhadj and Prof John Holmwood about it for Preventing Prevent Cambridge:

The Prevent review urges the British government to adopt France's approach to tackling 'non-violent extremism'. Peter Oborne, Dr Layla Aitlhadj and Prof John Holmwood discuss its implications in this special episode of Preventing Prevent Cambridge: https://t.co/2wkIUUVnBd

In the Prevent review, William Shawcross specifically cites Douglas Murray & Melanie Phillips as unfairly characterised by a Prevent Officer

Did Shawcross disclose how these individuals were known to him & had helped him on his book, before he published this in their support?

[Lizzie Dearden @lizziedearden]

The Independent Review of Prevent has been published today. More on that to come, but there is a key mistake on p.3, which claims all UK attacks since 2019 have been "Islamist in nature"

They have not.

[News From Amnesty @NewsFromAmnesty]

Shawcross review of Prevent is 'deeply prejudiced and has no legitimacy'

'This review is riddled with biased thinking, errors, and plain anti-Muslim prejudice - frankly, the review has no legitimacy' - @ilyas_nagdee

[Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) @MABOnline1]

The so-called independent review seeks to expand state powers through the securitisation of Muslims, reaffirming what our communities have been saying since the inception of Prevent.

It's a tool used by the gov & authorities to suppress the free expression of the Muslim faith.

[MEND Community @mendcommunity]

🧵1/13 The Shawcross “Independent review" into Prevent perfectly exemplifies how this Tory government ignores the gravest of concerns of Muslim communities; pencilled in to publish today, what have been its problems?

[Community Policy Forum @PolicyCommunity]

Today the Home Office released new PREVENT data.

Some thoughts...

Reckless Whitehall leaks have turned the Shawcross review into Prevent, supposedly crucial for Britain's domestic security, into a shambles amidst Tory infighting and cynical culture wars. My latest column for Middle East Eye:

[Richard McNeil-Willson @mcneilwillson]

The Govt's controversial Review of the UK's counterterror programme 'Prevent' is overdue by nearly two years.

However, for months it has been deadlocked as lawyers try to work out if the Govt will get sued upon its release as it names Muslim individuals & groups 'extremist'.

[Preventing Prevent Cambridge @PreventingC]

The government's war on free speech may escalate further in months to come:

[Richard McNeil-Willson @mcneilwillson]

Ah, the obvious next step of "British Values" counter-extremism:

People who vilify Britain will be treated as extremists and referred to the Government’s deradicalisation Prevent programme under plans to widen the definition of extremism by Rishi Sunak.

@XplorCrypto @GRITCULT Murray is the King of Cancel Culture. The Henry Jackson Society when he was there literally produced blacklists of Muslims to be no-platformed at universities. Murray notoriously called for conditions for Muslims to be made "harder across the board". No defender of liberty...

[The Free Speech Union @SpeechUnion]

"It's a very dangerous thing in our society that serious, career ending accusations can be levelled at you, which you cannot get out of once the accusation is levelled."

@DouglasKMurray discussing the perils of #CancelCulture during the FSU's recent members only speakeasy.
