He says NO, conveniently forgetting that we already have the Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_and_Religious_Hatred_Act_2006 as well as section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986.

To a liberal, hate-speech is blasphemy.

How typical dishonourable and disingenuous to say that gratuitously insulting people and ideas non-liberals find sacred is OK, but not the other way round.

Holocaust Denial, anyone?
