Helena Kennedy roundly challenges the record of modern governments - even, or especially, 'benign' democracies - with regard to essential democratic rights, and insists that we return to the fundamental values of equality, fairness and respect for human dignity. She argues that in the last twenty years we have seen a steady erosion of civil liberties, culminating today in extraordinary legislation which undermines long established freedoms. Are these moves a crude political response to demands for law and order? Or is the relationship between citizens and the state being covertly reframed and redefined?
