David Cameron is to set out a string of new powers to tackle radicalisation, saying the UK has been a "passively tolerant society" for too long.

The PM will tell the National Security Council a counter-extremism bill will be in the Queen's Speech on 27 May. The bill will include new immigration rules, powers to close down premises used by extremists and "extremism disruption orders".

Mr Cameron will say a "poisonous" extremist ideology must be confronted.

The proposals were first set out by Home Secretary Theresa May before the general election. But the Conservatives were unable to secure the backing of their then Liberal Democrat coalition partners for the measures.

There is likely to be some opposition in the new Parliament on the grounds that some of the plans could infringe people's right to free speech, BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said.

"Radicalisation?" By their very nature, ALL muslims are "radicalized." Read their "holy book" and think of it as their instruction manual.

Islam is a war plan. It’s general population prisoners.

Wow. Maybe the Tories WILL start acting a little more conservative. Maybe the GOP can learn something.

Be very careful, lest the hunt for extremists start to target the wrong kind.

Its about time they cracked down on those extremist Christians /s

David Cameron is good at posturing and posing.

The bill will end up being used against “Christian extremism” in the end or if the legislation has any teeth in it an appeal will be filed with the European Court, which has the power to overturn it.

That was my first reaction. Will this new law be used against “radicals” like the UKIP?
