Liberty response to Queen's Speech

Shami Chakrabarti, Director of Liberty, said:

“More tough talk and bad law in a Queen’s speech revealing a chronic lack of respect for our democratic traditions.

“No positive vision of society was ever built upon compulsory identity cards and ever-broader criminal offences. MPs from across the spectrum should oppose such measures- whether in defence freedom or social justice.”
