Alex will be in conversation with Douglas Murray, Director of the Centre for Social Cohesion, discussing the question, "Civil liberties and security - are they compatible?"

The event will be at 1.00 p.m. on Monday 5th October in the Barbirolli Room, Bridgewater Hall, Lower Mosley Street, Manchester M2 3WS.

For those who have never been to The Freedom Zone, there is always plenty of opportunity for members of the audience to contribute to the discussion and, being outside the security zone, the meeting is open to all - no conference passes needed.

We look forward to seeing you all there!
