Cowlard & Rothschild

Do these people look like terrorists to you?


PHOTO ESSAY: spiked joined a mass photographers’ protest against Britain’s freedom-sapping terrorism laws.

As Britain raised its international terrorism threat level to ‘severe’ – despite a lack of intelligence, home secretary Alan Johnson pointed out, that suggested an attack is imminent – thousands of professional and amateur photographers gathered in London’s Trafalgar Square to protest against the police’s extended stop and search powers under section 44 of the Counter-Terrorism Act 2000.

Time for a serious debate about the welfare state

Has welfarism gone too far? Is it time to trim this massive machine? And more importantly, shouldn’t it be trimmed for the *right* reasons - that is, not in order to save the state money but as a way of protecting communities from the negative impact of constant welfarist intervention?

We’ll be debating these issues at the next session of our spiked drinks events at Portcullis House in London on Monday 3 June at 6.30pm. Find out more here.
