“troublesome priest” Becket caused open concern to the barons of as long ago as 1164. However, amendments made to the 2006 Act during its passage through Parliament need to be read carefully: they do not criminalise mere preaching and glorification, as subsections 2 and 3 illustrate. No prosecutions have yet been brought under the section,and it is of course to be hoped that none will be needed. For the time being at least, I see no need to amend the existing law in that regard. –41–
FIREARMS AND EXPLOSIVES 73. So far as section 1(1)(3) is concerned, this has the effect of including within the definition the use or threat of action involving the use of firearms or explosives – subject to political purpose existing, but irrespective of design to influence government etc. Is there continuing reason for this difference? 74. With the experience of the six intensive years since the enactment of the 2000 Act, it has been suggested to me that it is difficult to envisage terrorism that at the very least is not designed to intimidate a section of the public. On the other hand, I can envisage the example of hostage taking designed not so much to intimidate as to extract money, or weapons, or material with explosive potential. On balance, it is sensible to retain the additional provision in respect of firearms and explosives. –42–
