This is promising. A discussion is exactly what's needed, so let's watch to see if this can be done the right way. I think Labour is showing good leadership after the tragedy (now is not the time to go full Sam Harris / Maajid Nawaz on Islam, but to show some compassion and solidarity), and I am open to the idea that a modification to "hate speech / free speech" laws will not just be a knee-jerk swing of the pendulum.
