Indeed, and the grotesque effect of poorly drafted legislation that the hon. Gentleman describes is also retrospective. Those who celebrate the Easter uprising or write about the American war of independence could be scooped up by the law in a way that no reasonable person would consider desirable.

Their wording is more precise in law, easier to read and more clearly understandable than the convoluted and garbled text on glorification.
