There is something very special about the British way of life. Our liberalism is envied around the world and our desire to stand up for the underdog has often changed the course of history. We have fought against slavery, antisemitism and lead the way in Gay rights.
In the past we have stood up to enemies bigger than ourselves to prevent domination and control by extremist powers. Our national flag, statues and memorials give witness to the willingness of millions of British people to lay down their lives for strangers in foreign lands. Women and men have died to protect both freedom of speech and the freedom of the individual.

Sadly, even though it had support, the bill was quietly withdrawn after the first reading.
