Why we oppose the legislation

Click here for a current overview of problems with the Bill in the House of Lords stage.

A summary of the original case against the legislation can be found here.

A more detailed case is given on the following pages:

  1. The claims the Government and other supporters made in the media are spin rather than fact
  2. The justifications given in official Government documents don't stand up to scrutiny
  3. The legislation would have serious unintended consequences
  4. The whole proposal is shot through with hypocrisy
  5. The legislation is likely to breach the European Convention on Human Rights and the Human Rights Act, according to Rabinder Singh QC.

"If we restrict liberty to attain security we will lose them both" Benjamin Franklin.

Backlash campaigns to ensure the right remedies are applied to the right problems.

Whilst doing so we preserve hard won individual rights and liberties.
