New Definition of Extremism Bans Whitehall from Engaging with Hatemongers

Michael Gove Unveils New Definition

Top Tory Michael Gove will unveil a new definition of extremism aimed at outlawing groups that seek to undermine the British democratic system and values.

Hate Groups Fall Foul of Definition

The new definition will target groups like Cage and Mend, with links to individuals who have made controversial statements, such as praising Jihadi John.

Measures to Bar Hate Ideologies

Groups promoting violence, hatred, or intolerance will be barred from engaging with government departments, and individuals associated with them will be banned from public appointments.

Application Across Various Settings

Although not legally binding, the definition could be applied in university, police, and CPS settings to prevent hate ideologies from spreading.

Establishment of Counter-Extremism Centre

To ensure consistency across departments, a Whitehall counter-extremism centre has been established by ministers following a rise in anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim hate incidents.

Gove's Statement

Michael Gove emphasized that these measures are crucial in preventing the government from inadvertently supporting those who aim to undermine democracy and rights.
