My Lords, I have made the point before that it refers to William Wallace in Scotland, to the Welsh nationalists in 1937 who blew up the bombing range in the Lleyn Peninsula, to the Easter Rebellion, and to any movement throughout the world—as I said, this applies to the whole world—where a movement or organisation takes up arms against the recognised government. We may support that movement, but in these terms we would still be glorifying it.
