10/07/2005: "And the prophet spake ..."

As exclusively predicted on here three days ago:

The home secretary, Charles Clarke, last night abandoned his plan to introduce a widely drawn new offence of "glorifying terrorism" after criticism from lawyers and politicians that it would even catch supporters of Nelson Mandela and prove unworkable. Instead, he published much more tightly drawn legislation, to be debated this month by MPs, that makes clear that somebody will only be guilty of glorifying terrorism if it is proved they also intended to incite further acts of terror.
