"Blair's no-show causes defeat on hatred Bill"
It's quite amusing that Blair lost this by not bothering to vote. Mwhahahaha.
I'm glad the bill was amended so that only threatening language is actionable, abuse/offence are still legal. Where would comedy be otherwise? And freedom of speech generally, of course.
A lot of my views as an atheist are probably abhorrent and/or offensive to theists, as indeed some of their beliefs are abhorrent and offensive to me. It was far too vague, no matter what promises about fine-tuning were made.

Italy judge considers Jesus case
In Italy, an atheist is trying to take a priest to court for possible fraud:
"Mr Cascioli sued Father Righi in 2002 after the priest attacked him in print for casting doubt over the legitimacy of the Christian gospels.
The atheist contends that Christianity relies on purely anecdotal evidence.
Lawyers for the priest and Mr Cascioli appeared before the judge in a brief hearing on Friday to argue whether the case should be thrown out and if Father Righi should stand trial, the AP news agency reported.
A decision is expected on Monday.
"The point is not to establish whether Jesus existed or not, but if there is a question of possible fraud," Mr Cascioli's lawyer, Mauro Fonzo, told reporters. "
I don't suppose it'll get to trial, but it strikes me as rather amusing. :)
