Pontius, I fully agree.

Perhaps we should start with the Labour party and any Conservative MP not voting with the government on any issue.

If we can't do that, then where is the line to be drawn? Chowdray, Galloway, Abu Hamza, Corbyn?

When people stand up in the street and say that what HMG is doing is wrong, that is sometimes more than free speech. There is a grey area between being critical, and inciting violence.

In my view, those who incite violence ought to be removed from the freedom of speech arena. As should some others who may not incite violence in public, but that leads to a Pinochet style of running the country.

Either way, I think the current level of protection for HM Forces will need to be shown to be lacking before steps are taken. Just as we need people to die or be seriously injured before we get junctions re-profiled or speed cameras installed.
