I SEE the Government plans to tighten up on “incitement to racial hatred”.
What that means in practice is that anyone disagreeing with government on immigration may be arrested.
Plus anyone with the temerity to oppose genital mutilation or murdering cartoonists and authors may be arrested too.
In contrast, the biggest racist crime of the century will of course go unpunished – murdering a million Muslims in Iraq for no good reason (the Iraq war).
And as for “incitement”, there’s no question that that crime incited hatred. Many of the acts of Islamic terrorism in Europe are motivated in part by the West’s ham fisted interference in Muslim lands in recent years.
What the nasties in Westminster really want is to arrest anyone who disagrees with them.
