GOVERNMENT SAY OK TO SPY ON MUSLIM BABIES: Nursery staff will be forced to report toddlers at risk of becoming terrorists under plans drawn up by the Home Office. It is part of the department’s consultation over ways to enhance its anti-terrorism strategy, Prevent. The consultation document on the Prevent Strategy states: “Senior management and governors are expected to assess the risk of young toddlers being drawn into terrorism, including support for the extremist ideas that are part of terrorist ideology.” A Government spokesperson told The Independent: “Schools, including nurseries, have a duty of care to their pupils and staff. The new duty in the Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill, to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism will be seen in a similar way to their existing safeguarding responsibilities As Malcolm x said Only a fool allows his enemy to teach his children. [Malcolm X] TAKING AWAY OUR CHILDREN: THE COUNTER-TERRORISM AND SECURITY BILL 2014 With the government opening the draft Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill 2014 up to public consultation, CAGE has released an advisory document that attempts to educate public bodies on the problems inherent within the draft legislation. Key to the draft Bill is the ability for the government to use multiple public bodies to make decisions about the lives of everyday people, based on spurious grounds. Of key concern is where Prevent officials cannot gain consent of parents, they will have the ability to use health and social services to potentially remove children from their homes in order to implement their strategies of ‘deradicalisation’.
