The British government is making steps to tackle the ever increasing problem of extremism in the UK.
It will become an offence to incite and encourage terrorism and anyone found doing so will be deported, even at the cost of amending some human rights
laws.

Tony Blair has outlined a raft of plans to extend powers to deport or exclude foreigners who encourage terrorism.
The UK can already exclude or deport those who pose a threat to security and Mr Blair said he also wanted to clamp down on those who advocated terror.
The prime minister said he was prepared to amend human rights laws to make deportations more straightforward.
But civil rights group Liberty said his plans attacked key human rights and would jeopardise national unity.

It's good to see something is being done at last, this should have been tackled a long time ago and the problem would not be a serious as it is
now.
Hopefully this won't affect anyone that doesn't deserve it and will be solely used to tackle people and groups that are a problem.
