Socialist hate crime law planned

Just come across this post from The Custodian which is a wonderful parody of leftist and socialist thinking.

Inciting hatred against people of a leftist persuasion is to be outlawed under government plans outlined in the Queen's Speech. It will be added to proposals announced last month to make it a crime to incite hatred against gay people, black people, Muslim people, old people and disabled people.
The new offence of inciting hatred against gay, lesbian, transgender, socialist, communist, paternalist, collectivist or ‘social democrat’ persons is outlined in background papers to the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

it ends
"We know a lot of bloggertarian bullying goes on. A report we commissioned showed that nine out of 10 people with leftist beliefs have been fisked," he said. "Anything which makes it more difficult to do that is good."

Asked whether there was a risk of getting a surplus of arbitrary ad hoc laws, each one made up on impulse to target the latest problem, the commentators interviewed all agreed there wasn't. "We just love laws, and we want as many as possible," said Mr Kingdom.

At least I hope its a parody, but given NuLab's record one does wonder.

Anyway, go and read the whole post, its well worth the effort.
