Guy Fawkes saved!

The government has decided that glorifying terrorism won't become a criminal act after all, which is fortunate given that Bonfire Night is less than a month a way. Wouldn't have fancied ninety days incarcerated without charge for celebrating Guy Fawkes; many people would have had traces of explosive material on their hands.
The home secretary has nevertheless given police the power to close places of worship being used by extremists; Opus Dei and the Alpha Group had better watch out. I wonder if this applies to fanaticism at football matches too?
