The State of Freedom in Britain

The State of Freedom in Britain

Speaker(s): Shami Chakrabarti, Professor Nicola Lacey Chair: Professor Conor Gearty Recorded on 3 June 2014 in Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building. The British like to believe they are free, but after Snowden, Miranda and the "war on terror", how true can this be? Are most of us free while those who seek change discover a tenuous grip on freedom? Shami Chakrabarti is director of Liberty. Nicola Lacey is LSE School Professor of Law, Gender and Social Policy.
