Religious hatred laws
The BBC reports on an opinion poll it commissioned asking about the government's planned law against inciting religious hatred.
51% find in favour, 44% opposed. However I'm not sure the poll was fair. It asks which of two statements you felt was closest to your own view, "I support laws to prevent abuse or inciting hatred on faith grounds", and "Banning criticism of those with different religious beliefs is an unjustified curb on free speech". Whatever you think of the bill it's hard to argue that it 'bans criticism of those with different religious beliefs'.
