Judging by the poor quality of the responses so far, I can only assume that many of the people replying have little to no idea what this is all about, and quite probably didn't even read the article linked to in the OP.
From the article:
The Catholic Church, lawyers, police, the BBC, comedians and secularists have also raised concerns about the impact of the legislation on free speech.
It's extremely obvious which demographic will be most likely to try and use this legislation to suppress free speech. It's bad enough that France has seen beheadings and other mass murder atrocities over the issue of free speech. The last thing we need here in the UK is a bunch of illiberal 'progressives' creating the same kind of chilling effect on free speech by enacting backward laws to prevent beliefs, views, values, and behaviours from being subjected to legitimate criticism.
