Well the The National Union of Students thinks so.

/// The NUS has agreed to oppose the Government's counter-terrorism bill with the help of Cage, the group who supported Mohammed Emwazi in the years before he joined Islamic State. ///

I have no idea why anyone would read the DM.
Headline:NUS motion says it will work with Cage to repeal anti-terror legislation

Actual stance of NUS:She said: 'The motion notes that other organisations will also be doing this but, to clarify, I have absolutely no intention of developing a working relationship - formal or otherwise - with Cage'.

If you like your headlines to be sensational rather than accurate then the DM is the paper for you.

No.

[paddywak]

No, they should tighten them up and if the NUS (or any organisation)continue to support these terrorists they should crack down on them as well.

[ladybirder]

No.

[jourdain2]

No, it is probably time to tighten them.

It needs an overhaul

the anti terror legislation is a mess - BUT repealing and relegisation usually leads nowadays to more repression

You remember the Glasgow airport terrorist attack ?
One of the muslims was meant to be named - " Maheed zon fire" ?

He had a cousin in Oz - who was summarily fired ( for terrorism of course ) deprived of his medical licence ( terrorism of course ) and deported somewhere ( on the grounds of terrorism )

when he asked for the evidence he was told it was so secret he couldnt be told

actually as he maintained, that there was none ( no evidence that is )

and here is the final chapter....

Agree P.P. the word 'overhaul' is better.
