Originally posted by FungusIf it prevents carol singers and trick or treaters then I'm all for it.
Surely we already have the laws but not the will to use them. We can do someone for incitement to commit murder. Or incitement to racial hatred.
The thing about Trick or treaters is that terrorists use terror to promote political change and trick or treaters use it to extort (a treat).
Mind you hollywood seems to be a bit lost with the distinction. They described Hans Gruber (Die Hard) as a terrorist when all he was doing was robbing the place.

Originally posted by OwlHootA few loony councils have thought of that one already, some on the inevitable health'n'safety grounds; but I'm sure I read last year that one council wanted the celebrations toned down or preferably abolished as they might encourage anti-catholic prejudice!

Originally posted by wendigo100So what is the definition of glorifying terrorism?
Can CUK contributors be prosecuted for sympathising with the Palestinians, the Irish who celebrate the Easter Rising, animal rights movements, or Iraqis who use violence to oppose the allied occupation of their country?
Mind you, Hain would get off because he is a complete idiot, and cannot be held responsible for his own actions. Perfect Labour cabinet material then!

Originally posted by wendigo100I'm not sure. The House of Lords cut it out of the Terrorism Bill, for various reasons but not least because it is too difficult to define, but Labour have voted to put it back in. So it will become illegal.
The Prime Minister stated today that juries will have no trouble with this law. Proper lawyers beg to differ.
So what is the definition of glorifying terrorism?

Problem with these laws is that it encourages a legal feeding frenzy of taxpayers money while common sense takes an early departure.

Henry VIII was a religious terrorist of the very first order
I suggest all you protestants out there report to you local cop-shop and admit to being part of a long term terrorist plot to overthrow the catholic church.
You should all be beheaded (in a non-glorifying way)
Oh bollox I cant even use that symbol in a public place these days

Originally posted by zeitghostAh, Churchill, I see the flaw in your arguement...
It's all down to the NewLie definition of "win"...
As for Bonfire Night, we're celebrating that age old tradition of burning a Catholic on November 5th... (They're cheaper than flags...).

How have they won? Do they have a united Ireland?
If they get one if will be in thirty years when the effects of the differing birthrates shows at referendum time. By that time all those lives cut will look like they were wasted in vain.
Regards previous posts (I don't remeber which, does it even matter) what about the old adage that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter?
