The government’s anti-hate bill, which provoked a bitter parliamentary battle with the Conservatives about whether it threatens religious freedom, cleared its final parliamentary stage on Wednesday and is poised to become law.
The new law, due to gain royal assent within days, would make it a crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison to obstruct someone from accessing a place of worship or other sites where Jews, Muslims and other identifiable groups gather.
The bill also criminalizes the willful promotion of hatred toward religious and ethnic groups by publicly displaying terror or hate symbols.
This isn’t being done for the Jews and certainly not for Christians. It’s the LPC’s payment for the Islamist vote.
How much time do we have left before the hammer falls?
