Assume that this is not a wannabee, but someone who, for example, already has a solid job offer from an EU country, and some cash for the relocation.

    There may not be an equivalent to Miranda Rights, namely a right to remain silent or guaranteed explanation of what rights you do have in the event of an arrest or other circumstances.

    IIRC the UK can and will hold someone indefinitely if they refuse to talk. Which wouldn’t be as problematic if they could stop abusing anti-terrorism laws, particularly against protestors.

      You can be held for up to 28 days without charge if you’re suspected of terrorism offences.

      I’m not aware of anti terror laws being used against protestors, but the last govt introduced extremely strict anti protest laws under which non violent protestors have been given up to 2 year prison sentences.
