Terrorism Bill

I am given to understand that, in some households, people read nothing else. The issues with which we are dealing are a subset of the offences under Clause 1 concerning encouragement. We think that it provides a useful and helpful guide to courts on interpretation of those issues. I say straightaway to the noble Earl, Lord Onslow, that he can make the comments that he just has with great confidence because we made absolutely clear that the conduct must be glorifying in existing circumstances. I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Elton, when he said that the reason that Nelson Mandela is not included is that throughout his time he promoted peaceful resistance and forgiveness. Peaceful resistance and forgiveness are also demonstrated by Gandhi, another great reformer. They both demonstrated that peaceful resistance is more effective.
