Prevent is a surveillance tool designed to treat the whole population as potentially dangerous for the ruling elites. And as with many aspects of domestic policing in the USA/UK, there is an link with Israeli attempts to create a Closed Society #EndPrevent

🧵Tomorrow @Policy_Exchange will publish a report with a foreword by David Cameron desperately defending the Islamophobic PREVENT strategy and smearing *only Muslim organisations.

Amongst the report authors is a @MrPaulStott, who famously got stuck when @Moazzam_Begg confronted him on radio a few years ago.

Have a listen to how he was made to condemn the British government ⤵️
The report in question, ‘Delegitimising Counter-Terrorism’, is an academically poor & desperate attempt to defend the Islamophobic PREVENT strategy.

It fails to contend with the substantive arguments presented by CAGE and others against PREVENT.

So what is Prevent? It’s part of the government’s counter terrorism strategy which aims to identify risks to national security. The UK is the only country where healthcare providers are required to engage in counter-terrorism.

1/ In light of the upcoming presentation tomorrow with @Medact in Manchester, I thought I would give a brief overview of the themes which we’ll be discussing regarding Prevent in the NHS
2/ Critiquing Prevent directly is (to an extent) futile. It will continue to grow – just did in Jan with new CT bill. IMO what began w/o evidence will not be challenged by evidence (to an extent) – esp if it’s politics. Over 10 years of research proves this #NoNeedForAReview
