Proceeding contribution from Viscount Hailsham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Terrorism Bill.


Terrorism Bill

Or, as my hon. Friend says from a sedentary position, the struggle in Darfur. All of us must ask ourselves whether we are prepared to assert that in all circumstances violence is wrong when it is designed to remove an oppressive regime. I, for one, am not prepared to say that. What do I say about Mugabe? It would surely be right to remove Mugabe by force if necessary because his is an oppressive regime. Turning to the point frequently made by my hon. Friend the Member for Buckingham (John Bercow), is that not also true of Burma? One must therefore conclude that there are regimes where there is no democracy and where the only way forward is by force.
