Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Racial and Religious Hatred Bill.


Racial and Religious Hatred Bill

I have raised this point when other Members were speaking, and it was first made by the hon. Member for Cannock Chase (Dr. Wright). Should it be possible, even if it is not the style of the hon. Member for Rhondda (Chris Bryant) or me, to urge people to hate homophobic religious bigots? In the example of Christian fundamentalists, that could be urging people to hate the people not the belief. Should that be made a criminal offence?
