When I did UK law, only the monarch him or herself was above the law, held by a case way back in the 15th or 16th century (IO think - have to look it up). Be interesting to see if that actually holds. Of course, just because someone wrote something happened donb't mean it did, or in the context it was written.

It is a quirk of the Hate Speech laws that, as I understand the law, saying that to noone in particular is not an offence, since it is not directly an incitement to violence.
