Original Note:
2012: "Reform Section 5" campaigned to remove "insulting" from the Thatcher government's 1986 Public Order Act. At the intervention of chief prosecutor Keir Starmer, "insulting" was removed from the 1986 Act by the May government's amended 2013 Crime & Courts Act. http://reformsection5.org.uk/2012/10/rowan-atkinsons-speech-at-rs5-parliamentary-reception/ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-21020737 https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2013/22/section/57 https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2013/2981/article/3/made https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1986/64/section/5 https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1986/64/section/5/1991-02-01 http://reformsection5.org.uk/2013/02/house-of-commons-backs-reform-section-5-amendment/
