Glorification of terrorism thought

Maybe more to the point, do I get prosecuted for saying 'why stop at a model of the Houses of Parliament'?
How about 'Suicide bombers? We could do with one of those to sort out New Labia'
Tony Blair is a lawyer. He's married to a barrister (and isn't she a Recorder now too?). How the hell can he so blithely push through such an abysmally written law? And truly, what was wrong with the simnple common law offence of behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace?
In the main, we're talking about breaking up protests quickly and safely that have the potential to cause security problems. BOTP could have been used to do that, surely?
In the extreme, we're talking about the Mssrs. Hamzas of the world. Well - what's wrong with teh Race Relations Act? What's worng with the incohate offences? Incitement to murder carries the same sentence as murder itself. Last I heard, that was life, so it's hardly the case that we need longer sentencing.
Another point that really caught my attention last night was that the BBC reported this law is going to be enacted retroactively? So those waving placards the other weekend will now have broken a law that wasn't written when they acted?
Hey - let's drop the motorway speed limit to 60. While we're at it, let's backdate the law a couple of years and send out NIPs to everyone who's driven a car in the last two years.
What do we have to do to get rid of these socialist

Let me draw you a picture:

Socialism...................................Blair..Fascism
"Blair" was short enough to use for the picture - it just means "the current labour government and its policies".

I think you mean libertarian -> authoritarian, Fascism is the partnership of industry and the state or something isn't it? (like the USA i guess

Well, since Labia were accused of being socialist, I plotted the position of Labia relative to socialism and its polar opposite, fascism.

Not really, socialism and fascism can work out to be very similar. The issue is, as pointed out, between authoritarian and libertarian policies.
This is another problem. New Labia HAS GOT a big socialist presence. It's the sort of thing that had them voted out of office before they ever before managed a second term. What we have now is a nice conservative Blair sheen atop a seething socialist Prescott/Brown underbelly.
This could easily find it's way back to the House of Lords/Constitution thread of a few weeks ago, but seriously - DO NOT underestimate the quiet changes that have and are being made by New Labia (damn - I love that phrase! Apologies to whomever I stole it from).

It depends on your definition of "similar", I guess. Mine is "very alike"

Well, I give you the German National Socialist party in the 1930's to 40's. And maybe Stalins Russia of a similar period for socialism turning out like fascism.
