So Tony and his cronies want to introduce a law to make, among other things, incitement to terrorism illegal. Incitement to terrorism could include simply saying you think it's a good idea.
What happened to free speech? I think this law is a horrible idea - if it is introduce the terrorists will be winning.

Somebody said the UK's starting to resemble something out of V for Vendetta. There's just one thing missing: the Cromwellian security boss. Until such time as he pitches up, Tony's just full of (bl)air.

Trouble with Tony and his lot is they still think they're in school sometimes, leastways so I think. I know some people like that, they're all lawyers and such always did what their parents said and now want to enforce that regime on everyone else.
