The hon. Gentleman has in the last 30 seconds dealt with some of what my intervention is about. The amendment is not about religion—we can deal with that later—but about hatred. Does he agree, first, that there is jurisprudence in respect of the definition of hatred as a result of the Public Order Act 1986? Secondly, if there was an issue in the particular circumstances of a case, it would be for the judge, in his or her summing-up to the jury if it was a jury case, to go through definitions and what the jury must take from the circumstances of the case.
