Public Order Bill

Proceeding contribution from John Hayes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 May 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Public Order Bill.

My hon. Friend is making a compelling case for the Bill. We have heard from the Bill’s critics that the end justifies the means—that because the end is noble, in their judgment, any means, however violent or disruptive, are legitimate. Is that not the argument used by every extremist, indeed every tyrant, throughout history?
