More porkies from the Home Office

In spite of protests, the Home Office continues to claim that the British Humanist Association supports the proposed Incitement to Religious Hatred Bill.

The BHA has written in protest to Charles Clarke.

In these circumstances I must ask you to ensure that your officials stop referring to the British Humanist Association as supporting the Bill and ask you to take an appropriate opportunity to correct the perception that the Home Office has created. If you wish to refer anywhere to our support for the principle of legislation, I must insist that this is done in a way that makes clear our demand for significant amendments to your Bill.

  1. G. Tingey says:

    Charles Clarke is a deliberate public liar.

    This needs to be given as much publicity as possible.
    I’m sorry BHA, but mealymouthe requests for a polite retraction will not do.

    A public staement on their web site saying that CC is a liar must be the next step.
