| Message | Mr Bachelot, What do you classify as hate speech because, surely calling me a racist is hate speech and then saying my truthful comments which I believe in are racist is also hate speech? -Gregory Hewson |

| Message | Labour will never stand behind an act of which limits the freedoms of the people. History has shown that forbidding people to do things only makes them do it more. This is a system of which could be abused by personally interpretation of hatespeech, or simply opinion on what counts as true and false. We already have anti harassment laws. We need no more. |
