LibLink: Ken MacDonald – “Freedom’s place in the fight against terrorism”

By | Tue 6th April 2010 - 10:51 pm

OurKingdom is running the chapter in Why Vote Liberal Democrat by Ken Macdonalrd (former Director of Public Prosecutions) on liberty and terrorism:

Britain is a country with a long and proud history of promoting civil liberties. This is a tradition we should be determined to defend. But in recent years the state’s regard for these long-held values has diminished. Tony Blair once memorably described them as ‘belonging to another age’. They do not. They belong to each and every one of us, right now.

You can read the full piece over on the OurKingdom site and read a review of book which we previously published here.
