UK becoming a 'police state', UN warns | Press Esc: "Counter-terrorism laws are rapidly turning the United Kingdom into a police state, a United Nations independent expert warned today and added that targeting Muslims through religious profiling was counterproductive.
Asma Jahangir, the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, was particularly concerned about the new stop and search rules allowing the police to to stop and search an individual without having to show ‘reasonable grounds’ for the action, which the British police themselves have deemed unnecessary."
At least we have our best ally with us as we journey down the road to fascism. Meanwhile, a US author has become tangled up in a UK law that may very well stifle her freedom of speech.
