And about time too!

Thank you, House of Lords, for voting to amend Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986 by removing references to insulting words and behaviour.  Heaven knows I've posted about the absurdities which Section 5 can give rise to enough times.  Of course the matter has now to go to the Commons, who may seek to overturn the Lords' decision, so for the time being just half a cheer, but at least it's a move in the right direction.
