UK, the New Fascism

The home secretary has promised the prime minister that he will lock away for five years anyone who "glorifies, exalts or celebrates" a terrorist act committed in the past 20 years. He does not care if glorification was not meant. If someone, somewhere takes anything that I say or write as encouraging to terror, even if they do not act on it, I have committed a criminal act.

Read "This is an act of censorship worthy of Joseph Goebbels. The plan to draw up a list of historical events that people can be prosecuted for celebrating is a sign of a leader losing his grip" by Simon Jenkins on The Guardian
