“Prevent Two Years On”

On the podcast, we are re-joined Sean Arbuthnot and William Baldet, who both work on the UK government’s Countering Violent Extremism programme called “Prevent”.

On this episode, we discuss what has changed, what hasn’t changed, and the reaction to Prevent since we last spoke in 2018.

The Guardian article was reportedly based on information provided by Cage

Cage became famous when Asim Qureshi called the ISIS terrorist “Jihadi John” a “beautiful young man” https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-31650427
