UK Government Brings In Yet More Counter-Terrorism Measures — Including Internal Exile

„in response to the increased threat we face and in response to the police and security services telling us this is what they need, we will legislate to allow TPIM [Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures] subjects to be relocated to different parts of the country.“
