[QUOTE="Robbie_James_Francis, post: 53714266, member: 107729"] When was the law repealed? I can't remember hearing about it. Now all we have to do is abolish the monarchy, make the second House elected, remove the Executive from the Legislature, decide once and for all whether we're two countries plus a principality plus a territory all rolled in to one or one country, bring in proportional representation and then the UK might not be such an embarrassment! :) Oh, and the execution by hanging for burning Her Majesty's shipyards thing... As it stands AFAIK, existing and proposed 'hate speech' laws do not proscribe just saying you hate people...they are simply there to stop incitement to crime. A brutal dictator may well not actually murder anyone, but she still orders the murders, and should be held accountable. To tell someone to go and attack Mr Bloggs who lives at no. 25 clearly makes one an accessory and is therefore a criminal act...surely that is not different when it applies to a group. To say "We should attack Jews/Christians/gays/people born on Tuesday/etc." is a criminal act. [/QUOTE]
