OK, restrictions on free speech which I think are good ones.
1) If I ring someone up and say "Hey, let's go out and rob a bank this afternoon, here's where you can buy some big guns", that's two crimes, and rightly so.
2) If I stand at the top of the high street and say "Hey, blacks are taking over the country, and faggots too, let's kill them all, come on, kill them now!" that's one crime, and one thing that probably is, and ought to be firmed up to be.
3) If I write all over my LJ "the23 is a paeodophile who has sex with little boys", that's a civil offence, and I can be bound over not to say it again, and rightly so.
4) If I ring up the fire brigade and say "hey, the house across the road from me is on fire, come quickly!", and it in fact isn't, that's a crime, and rightly so.
5) If I find out at work that we are providing secure transport for nuclear material which could be used to make a dirty bomb, and there's a flaw in the security, and instead of fixing it, I ring up my local Al Qaeda supporter, that's a crime, and rightly so.
6) If I write a newspaper article saying that the UK should stop being a monarchy, that's a crime, and on reflection probably didn't ought to be.
