Radicalisation Laws.
For too long many have said we, as a country, are a soft touch, perhaps allowing free speech when the speech in question is inciteful for example preaching extremist views that could lead to unrest.
For too long many have debated tougher laws to end extremism, but the grey area is where do you draw that line, one man's extremism is another man's belief.
Many of us, when asked about extremism, will point to terrorist groups, but it's more difficult to identify extremists in leafy suburbia who spout intolerance of homosexuality or the rise in female equality. If we look to religions practiced for 100's of years in the UK, many have had little tolerance or understanding of minority groups, and in fact many of our political groups could, by some, be seen as extremist, so where do you draw the line?
There does seem to be a conflict in the logic of issuing a banning order on an individual or organisation, when the ethos within the country is that we should understand and be tolerant of other people's points of view.
Under the proposals the government can silence a group or an individual whose views or actions can endanger others, but it's the definition that will lead to debate. History is littered with changes that were brought about because people had radical thoughts: where would Emily Pankhurst or the Jarrow Marchers fit in with laws on radicalisation.
The Bill will include extremism disruption orders, which the police will need to obtain via the courts. This can stop groups or individuals from speaking in public places.
As a country we have seen examples of hate over recent years that should never have been given a platform; the new measures should stop this, and also stop many from becoming indoctrinated into hate.
I do not want to see people calling for the deaths of members of our armed forces and being allowed to do so without reprisals or restrictions, but to believe that a gagging order will stop people having these views is naive and perhaps allowing these views to be aired in public rather than behind closed doors makes our national security an easier task.
It is difficult to criticise the idealist view point of one nation living together in perfect harmony, but we live in a very different world than this.
Where the bill does win is that it has teeth; if a ban is granted it would make membership or the funding of a group a criminal offence.
Massive questions still remain, such as how will a ban work with someone using social media, or just how will the security services cope with the increase in work. I am aware a priority system already exists for monitoring the most dangerous people.
The detail of the new measures will be interesting, and the way in which these details will be interpreted and implemented. I agree that we have been a passively tolerant society for too long, but these measures can be criticized for dealing with the symptoms rather than the cause, and if we draw the line in the wrong place it could suppress the development of new ideas.
