To me, the crime is always by the perpetrator of the violence, not by the person who advises it, however unedifying that may be.

    I suggest you take in Article 10 of the UN charter for human rights, Mr Jackal. By your definition it would be OK for someone to say 'Mrs May is a ???? and I dearly wish someone would assassinate the ????' AS LONG AS THEY DIDN'T ACTUALLY DO IT
    You are correct about my definition. You happen to use Mrs May as an example in your quote, but you could use anyone, including me if you like.

    If someone wants to say they would dearly love to assassinate me, I would still prefer they said it. At least I would know where the threat is, and who knows I might be able to use my own freedom of speech to convince them otherwise!
