About this product
Product Information
This provocative book confronts the erosion of civil liberties under New Labour. It unfolds a compelling narrative of the major battles fought before Parliament and in the courts, and attacks the failure of the political and legal systems to offer protection to those suffering abuses of their civil liberty at the hands of an aggressive Executive.

Reviews
"A thought-provoking addition to current debates regarding the best form of protection of human rights in the United Kingdom, and will no doubt add fuel to the fire of those already calling for a reassertion of the supremacy of Parliamentary sovereignty in the face of perceived attacks from "unelected judges" under the Human Rights Act 1998" --Jane Gordon, Public Law "The book more than makes the case for the need for a new approach to civil liberties" --Janel McLean, The Edinburgh Law Review "Keith Ewing has written an excellent and damning indictment of New Labour's record on human rights and the rule of law, marshalling his evidence with ease and great narrative power. It is a real tour de force." --James A. Grant, University of Oxford, The Modern Law Review, '...the definitive text on Labour government's attack on liberty and rights...'Henry Porter, Liberty Central Blog, Guardian.co.uk'... As a handy catalgoue of the duplicity and chicanery displayed by this administration it is excellent... the book's greatest achievement is to translate often dense legal argument into something slightly more palatable to the general reader...'Paddy McGuffin, Morning Star'Britain in 2010 is undoubtedly a much better, informed and relaxed place to live than 13 years ago; one would really need to be a hidebound reactionary not to recognise this. On civil liberties, however, Labour urgently needs to restore its credentials. It could make a start by having a long discussion with Professor Ewing and other critics about finding the right balance between liberties and effective protection against terrorism.'David Winnick, Tribune'...core content of considerable value...an excellent critique'Geoffrey Robertson, New Statesman.com'Keith Ewing has written an excellent and damning indictment of New Labour's record on human rights and the rule of law, marshalling his evidence with ease and great narrative power.
