Terrorist spotted in House of Commons

terrorist and king
One of these people may be breaking the law (soon). The gentleman on the Right is playing "King James I" and is entirely safe. The gentleman on the Left is playing "Guy Fawkes" and could be at the risk of being guilty of glorifying terrorism.

In the same way any boys who ask for "penny for the guy" next year are taking a risk (particularly if they use a sign).

To be fair anyone could be locked up for 28 days whether or not they display a "penny for the guy" sign.

The Violette Szabo museum is also taking a risk as is anyone playing a videotape of "allo allo".

I accept entirely that the Attorney General may decide that prosecuting such people is not in the public interest, but before I dress up in a Guy Fawkes costume I would wish to get an agreement from the CPS not to prosecute.

Except Guy Fawkes' plans to attack Parliament was more assassination attempt than terror attack weren't they?

Six months for recording a court hearing - Norman Scarth

The link is in Russian about the imprisonment of Norman Scarth who is actually 85. He has a complex history including a court hearing which found that he used a chainsaw to fight off bailiffs when he was 75. [a court judgment which is disputed see comments] However, that does not justify imprisoning him for 6 months for recording a court hearing (see the link and ask google to translate it if your Russian is not up to it). It has got into the Argyll News Because he has been held such that people cannot get to him to sign paperwork an application for a writ of Habeas Corpus was made today. This has been adjourned until next week. The English judicial system is really not good at responding to major abuses of human rights by the judicial system.
