Episode description
Should you be prosecuted for barking? Or asking about a horse's sexuality? What about using a racist slur? This episode looks at the turbulent history of §5 of the Public Order Act 1986, and its chaotic journey from the dreaming spires of Oxford to the inner-city streets of Newcastle. En clair is a podcast about forensic linguistics, literary detection, and language mysteries from past to present.
