Description
Emergency State: How We Lost Our Freedoms in the Pandemic and Why it Matters
A state of emergency was declared in the UK, bringing about unprecedented restrictions on freedoms. In just eleven pages, a new law locked down tens of millions of people, confined them to their homes, and banned socialising. This book tells the story of the Emergency State, a period of 763 days during which ministers brought in over 100 new laws by decree, often without debate or scrutiny.
Written by a leading human rights barrister, Emergency State is a wake-up call about the importance of protecting our rights and freedoms. The book provides a clear-eyed and forensic account of the Covid-19 pandemic and the lessons we can learn from this period.
