Don’t do anything I say in this song: countering extremism with candour not censorship
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-18)

An essay written by Liam Duffy, part of a series of essays on defending free speech commissioned by Robin Simcox, the former Commissioner for Countering Extremism.

This essay examines how the counter-extremism sector has expanded beyond its original focus on terroristic radicalisation to encompass broader political phenomena, often at the expense of freedom of expression.

Using the case of rapper Tyler, the Creator’s 2015 UK ban as a starting point, it argues for a more focused approach to countering extremism that protects free speech and maintains public trust in institutions.

These essays have been independently commissioned. The views and opinions expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the UK Government or the Commission for Countering Extremism.

These essays were commissioned to present a diverse range of perspectives from authors with contrasting or conflicting opinions on this issue. They are provided to contribute to this vital discussion and do not imply agreement or endorsement by any associated organisations or individuals.

Joint statement from the Foreign Ministers of France, Germany and the UK (E3) on Gaza
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-21)

The Foreign Ministers of France, Germany, and the UK (the E3) call for immediate return to a ceasefire

Joint statement on behalf of the Foreign Ministers of France, Germany and the UK (E3):

The resumption of Israeli strikes in Gaza marks a dramatic step backward for the people of Gaza, the hostages, their families and the entire region. We are appalled by the civilian casualties and urgently call for an immediate return to a ceasefire.

We call on all parties to re-engage with negotiations to ensure the ceasefire is implemented in full and becomes permanent. This must include Hamas releasing the hostages that they have cruelly detained and persistently refuse to release.

All Israelis and Palestinians have a right to peace and security. We call on all those with influence over Hamas to use that influence to ensure no further attacks against Israel. We are clear that Hamas must neither govern Gaza nor be a threat to Israel anymore. However, this conflict cannot be resolved through military means. A return to fighting will only result in the deaths of more Palestinian civilians and Israeli hostages.

More bloodshed is in no-one’s interest. Israel should fully respect international law and allow the flow of aid immediately. Civilians should be protected and not be cut off from essential aid or assistance. We call on Israel to restore humanitarian access, including water and electricity, and ensure access to medical care and temporary medical evacuations in accordance with international humanitarian law.

We are deeply shocked by the deadly incident affecting a UNOPS building in Gaza, which has killed one UN employee and injured several others. Amongst the victims were European citizens. UN personnel and its premises should be protected and never be a target. There must be a full investigation into what happened.

A long-lasting ceasefire is the only credible pathway towards a sustainable peace, a two-state solution and the reconstruction of Gaza.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Flag Security Group Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Flag Security Group Ltd recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Discounts
We also pledge the following:

-Working with the CTP in order to establish a tailored employment pathway for service leavers

2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Safestyle Security Services Limited will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Safestyle Security Services Limited recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
- Armed Forces Charities
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

IFM22030 - Real Estate Investment Trust : Conditions And Tests: The Property Rental Business Condition: Condition A: Single Property: CTA2010/S529(1)
Source: gov.uk (2025-04-17)


Single property

Condition A of the property rental business condition requires the company or group to have three or more single properties involved in its property rental business. ‘A single property’ is defined by reference to whether a property or part of it is available for rent under a separate lease. Where property is used for trade purposes rather than involved in its property rental business such properties must be excluded for the purposes of condition A. Some examples are given below to illustrate how this definition of 'single property' applies in practice.

Office block

If a four-storey office block has its stairwells and common parts designed so that each floor can be occupied by a separate tenant, and it is available for rent as such, this would count as four single properties even if in fact the whole block is let out to single tenant.

Shopping centre

Where a shopping centre contains multiple retail units all available to be rented out under a separate lease, each unit will count as a separate property.

Part of property used for property rental business

The company may own a whole building, occupy four floors as its head offices and rent the remaining floor out to unconnected tenants. The floor rented out is a separate property from the four floors that are owner-occupied and will count as a single, separate property for the purposes of the property rental business condition. As a matter of fact, it is rented out separately from the other part of the building.

Ownership of part of a property

Part ownership of a shop would not however count as a 'single' property as it is not possible to rent out part of a shop. For example, a company is the co-owner of three properties. The company holds 40% of each, and the remaining 60% is owned by one of the company directors. The company would not meet the three or more properties condition, since it would own 40% of three properties, rather than three properties that it could rent out as three units separate from any other unit.

Halls of residence

Where students have exclusive use and access to their rooms or flats for the rental period then each unit of student accommodation will count as a separate property.

Hotel

A hotel is a single property and may be part of the property rental business if it is let to an operator who has no connection with the owner of the property.

If, however, the hotel is run by the company, or by a member of the Group REIT, then it is owner occupied and the income is trading income. It is therefore excluded from the property rental business.
