Coroners and Justice Bill

I do not think they would benefit from the saving clause, because their language would be threatening. That is clear from the expression, "They will get what is coming to them." I do not think that, given those circumstances, that is a valid criticism of the operation of the saving clause. It is, of course, right to say—we have debated this in the past—that incitement to hatred should not be construed as the same as expressing a dislike of something, including quite an intense dislike. There is a dividing line between the two, and in my experience courts, and indeed police officers, ought to have no difficulty in telling the one from the other.
