@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates When you say "we need to fight this *together*" do you mean working with the Far Right? #prevent

@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates The influence of the Far Right is now so negligible, but how about working with libertarian @UKIP? @UKIPFOP
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 26, 2015
@ntfem @PSCupdates @UKIP @UKIPFOP We're fighting racist policy so obviously wouldn't work with racists to fight it. But as broad as possible

@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates @UKIPFOP It is just childish to call @UKIP racist. Even @GoodwinMJ has said he wouldn't call them Far Right.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 26, 2015
@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates @UKIP @UKIPFOP What would be helpful is to make sure that words such as racist etc are more tightly defined.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 26, 2015
@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates I would define racist as the belief that one race is inherently superior or inferior to another.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 26, 2015
@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates @UKIP @UKIPFOP Would you define racist as anyone concerned about immigration? That is a very wide definition.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 26, 2015
@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates If definitions of extremist, racist etc are left deliberately vague then law neither accessible nor foreseeable.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 26, 2015
@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates I suggested to Simon Natas that the best way of opposing Police State Bill was to insist on tight definitions.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 26, 2015
@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates @UKIP @UKIPFOP For some reason Simon Natas dismissed my idea out of hand and said "It would never work".
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 26, 2015
@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates @UKIPFOP Any lawyer would know all rights have to be defined and I was taken aback by Natas' dismissive attitude
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 26, 2015
@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates @UKIPFOP Simon Natas actually told me he thought "nothing could be done" and "nothing would ever work".
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 26, 2015
@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates Perhaps I misunderstood what Simon Natas said but I walked way wondering why he bothers if he is so fatalistic.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 26, 2015
@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates @UKIP @UKIPFOP I on the other hand think much can be done if the right arguments are advanced.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 26, 2015
@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates The concept of British values as defined by HMG can be challenged on a philosophical and logical basis.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 26, 2015
@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates Our values r just whatever they r: the result of laws/religion/ideology/custom/culture n will always be *fluid*.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 26, 2015
@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates It is nonsensical/irrational for HMG to state that British values are whatever they say they are FOR ALL TIME.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 26, 2015
@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates @UKIP @UKIPFOP Have u noticed British values are EXACTLY THE SAME as Australian values? https://t.co/IV7BcOJUTQ
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 26, 2015
@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates @UKIP @UKIPFOP My proposed definition of extremist - someone whose solutions are obviously disproportionate.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 26, 2015
@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates Simon Natas also dismissed my proposal at https://t.co/JiYPcJ5CkV. You may wish to get a second opinion though.
— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) June 26, 2015
@racheldiamonds @PSCupdates If UK values OFFICIALLY defined at https://t.co/ZDmdD7JDFC then any proposed departure is arguably "extremist".
