Terrorism is glorious!

Terrorism forces democratic governments to reveal their dark side to the general public, which might not be a bad thing, in the interests of democracy.

Under new laws brought in today by the UK Government, it is illegal to glorify terrorism and distribute terrorist publications, such as carry placards. Even certain kinds of trespass is now a terrorist offence. Problem is, the police here already use anti-terrorist legislation to suppress peaceful protests totally unconnected with terrorism so with what inventiveness will they be allowed to deploy this new repressive legislation?
