BRITONS should boycott Labour’s new “anti-Muslim hostility” definition, the Tories have said.
Nick Timothy, Shadow Justice Secretary, called it an affront to free speech.
He argued the definition would prevent organisations saying no to hijabs and public prayers.
Blasting the wording, Mr Timothy said: “Labour said they would protect free speech.
“But the whole point of this definition is to attack our freedom to criticise, satirise and scrutinise ideas.
“This is a betrayal from Labour – a very predictable betrayal.”
Mr Timothy argued the definition would prevent organisations saying no to hijabs and public prayers.
The Shadow Justice Secretary vowed to “ignore it”.
He added: “I advise the whole country to do the same.”
Communities Secretary Steve Reed issued a description of “anti-Muslim hostility” on Monday.
It is not legally binding but will be adopted by bodies like the NHS and police.
Yesterday a cross-party MPs group demanded the Government ensure its adoption by public institutions and wider society.
