The Government seems to have shelved plans for controversial new laws against ‘non-violent’ extremism.
This is the conclusion that Colin Hart, Director of The Christian Institute, has reached with regard to three initiatives previously announced by the Government: the state registration and Ofsted inspection of youth work; an equality oath for public sector employees and extremism disruption orders.
In the Christian Institute’s Autumn newsletter Mr Hart said: ‘I’ve not met a single politician who thinks they’re going ahead. It would have been nice if the Government had admitted doing a U-turn, but that’s not going to happen.’
