On the 28th of Feb, The Convention on Modern Liberty takes place in 7 cities across the UK. We are coming together to discuss, debate and identify the current threats to our freedoms and liberties here in the UK; Counter-Terrorism, Financial Breakdown & The Database State, to name a few.
I have been working with the Convention team, making videos about these issues. Short interviews with those who will speak at the Convention, and those who just wanted to lend their voice, which I will be publishing here over the next few days for your viewing and comment.
If you want to lend your voice directly to The Convention on Modern Liberty and tell us what you think, we are actively encouraging people to post a video response to our YouTube channel, details of which can be obtained from www.modernliberty.net. The time is now.
Henry Porter explains why he is involved with the Convention on Modern Liberty.
Anthony Barnett explains the beginnings of the Convention on Modern Liberty, and some of the attacks on our freedoms, here in the UK.
