It's things like this that give me no confidence that legislation like the proposed bill on religious hatred will actually do what the government say it will 'on the packet'. Especially as lots of people are concerned it will end up as a charter for exressing religious intolerance through prosecution.
"'It is clearly embarrassing for the government if they intended to catch Brian's demonstration, and that was their position in court. Clearly they drafted the legislation very badly. We are very happy that the court has upheld the very important principle that, if you are legislating for a criminal offence, you have to be absolutely clear about what you are doing.'"
