Democratic dissent is not disloyalty, it is a positive civic duty.

We need to celebrate stories by women, for women, as just one more way to redress gender injustice.

In a democracy, regulation of the press and imposing standards on it must be voluntary.

The fundamental values of a democracy cannot be changed because we are provoked by terrorists.

The entire system should be under review to ensure that there is not a culture which would allow the alleged abuses to take place.

If random screening must be introduced, they should target select underground and rail stations rather than discriminating against individuals.

It's completely right that the media handling and the statements and the comments that were made about the shooting are dealt with just as robustly as the police operation itself.

That in my view would be incredibly counterproductive to the work of the police and security services if they are to engage with the communities who may have intelligence.

Public safety can be enhanced by passenger screening but police must not heighten tensions by targeting young men from ethnic minorities.

The thought of secret hearings where once again the accused will never hear the case against them fills me with dread.
