On February 28th the Convention on Modern Liberty gathered to discuss how to react to some of the challenges to rights, freedoms and democracy imposed by the Government – including 42 days detention without charge, the RIPA (Regulation of Investigatory Powers) and ID cards. I went along to the Convention to video some of the breakout sessions:
