Comment | Proscribed groups are a thing. It's not the thin end of a wedge if you have clear rules for what counts for proscription, which we do, in the form of Hate Crimes legislation.
The fact that the Orange Order has so far successfully avoided being defined as a hate group is a separate argument, but the idea that we can't ban groups from public assembly on the basis of their message is pretty evidently false, given that we already do.
If they aren't an anti-catholic hate group, then why do they care if they get to march past catholic churches? |
