Going Underground: UK becoming a police state?

New law would ban protests, even imply thought crime'

In this episode of Going Underground, Afshin Rattansi talks to blogger Scriptonite on the new ASBO bill which could restrict protests around the country. 

The new law grants local authorities, police and even private security firms sweeping powers to bar citizens from assembling lawfully in public spaces. 

Afshin also looks at Britain's plans to train Myanmar's army on human rights and fact that not all UK citizens know Britain's already in the the EU.
