Authoritarian f*****wittage of the day
The Religious Hatred Bill which even Polly Toynbee thinks is a bad thing.
We're strongly in favour of free speech/expression here on Forceful and Moderate. If you aren't, you still have cause to worry. Labour are determined to reassure you that you have afraid of - these laws will be applied sensibly and carefully and not to, say, Rowan Atkinson...
...just like the counter-terrorism laws. As every hard-working family knows, petition-signing endangers the great British public - 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens each year!
I despair of this government and their poorly worded, illiberal and arbitrarily applied legislation. Honestly... if I didn't laugh I'd cry...

Polly Toynbee certainly would think it is a bad thing. She is a militant atheist.
Not necessarily. The argument for is that:
PROBLEM: racists are using 'Muslim' as proxy for 'of-Arab-descent' to get around incitement to racial violence legislation. Race relations, etc. have been affected after 9/11 and 7/7 by people insulting Muslims.
SOLUTION: to ban anyone from insulting religions.
I don't see why Polly wouldn't be for that, unless I'm making an unfair stereotype about all Guardian journalists.
I agree there is a problem. I don't agree with the solution.
