A lot of people believed that the catch all provision would also hinder free speech or lead to a situation where something said verbally became illegal if presented in word form.
The Government has decided to amend this and instead create specific laws to deal with the most serious of offences- it's good that people across the board are having their points of view listened to and, like a lot of legislation, a compromise has been made.
Not everyone is happy though, the father of Molly Russell (the girl who lost her life) has today accused the Government of "watering down the Bill".
