Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ramsay of Cartvale (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 22 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.


Terrorism Bill

I am just about to say what the loophole is. Perhaps I may give way after that. Present laws of incitement do not cover everything. The best example of that is the placard about the ““magnificent four”” in the demonstration in London. As I said before, you do not have to be a lawyer to know that you could not really bring an incitement charge on someone talking about the ““magnificent four””. But that is definitely, without doubt, glorification of an act that none of us would want to see glorified.
