Terrorism Bill

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the House might be being too kind to the Government by assuming that they have a rationale for the use of the word ““glorification”” in the Bill? Is it not possible that the Government’s aim has been to create an entirely artificial division in the mind of the public? The argument makes the Government appear to be strong on terrorism, while leaving everyone else who oppose the Govt—on the Conservative, Liberal Democrat or even Labour Benches—looking somehow weak on the matter. Does he agree that this dangerous legislation could have been introduced for such cynical reasons?
