Why don't they just create a law criminalising "incitement to hatred".

Should be effective in quashing all discussion about anything.

Homophobe

You know that gay men can't be arrested in this country, and you're just trying to poison our collective mind with your snarling hate-filled diatribe of pro-biological-normality, now you'll be for it. You're a fireman, aren't you?

He would probably only do it if he was certifiably insane anyway ...

I wonder what the threshold is to trigger an arrest?

Plans to make inciting hatred against gay people a crime have been announced by Justice Secretary Jack Straw.

The law would cover gay, lesbian and bisexual people and may be extended to cover disabled and transgender people.

Mr Straw said it was time for the law to recognise society was "appalled by hatred and invective" directed at people because of their sexuality.
