Surely he's guilty of fomenting sedition now under your current laws. After HM signs the warrant, his head on a spike on the tower will serve as a warning to others who would be so bold.

To say one would join a future plot may or not be illegal at the moment (ie I don't know as I am not a lawyer). It is because there are these grey areas that the UK government wants to make "glorifying terrorism" a criminal offence. So it is not the offer to join a future plot that will become illegal, In was referring him to glorifying the 400 year old terrorist plot. Crazy as it seems it will be illegal (as I understand it ) to glorify a 400 year old event but maybe not to offer one services for a future plot!

You are right, although it is unlikely charges would be brought, that is why I find these laws so repulsive.

Don't believe it. A guy shouted "rubbish" at the labour conference in the uk the other month. He was bundled out and arrested iunder the recent anti-terrorist legislation. If the law is there and the police want to get you they will use whatever law is available.
