Coroners and Justice Bill

What if I say to the hon. and learned Gentleman that the wording was, "These gays had better keep their dirty practices away from our children"? There is a threat in that wording, but is the hon. and learned Gentleman saying that that of itself should not be taken to be threatening or intended to stir up hatred? This is the difficulty, and I note that the hon. and learned Gentleman is not rising to deal with it. There is not a direct threat in the words "had better", but there is an implicit threat. I could also have used the words "or else". In the context of a mob or crowd of skinheads, for example, in a pub back room, that is a problem.
