This article badly needs attention by real lawyers, or at least law students. The more I research and write, the more I realise I don't know. -- The Anome 15:39, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Blasphemy in the UK
The UK Human Rights Act was passed in 1998, not 1988.
This blasphemy law disgusts me.
[edit] Jerry Springer The Opera
IIRC, it wasn't the Jesus character that dressed as a baby or confessed to being gay, but a different character played by the same actor (most actors played different parts in acts I and II), but I'm not certain, as I've heard it both ways. Anyone know for sure? - Steve
It’s a while since I saw the play but I’m pretty sure Jesus wore the nappy and (though I’m less certain) said he was “a bit gay”. It’s pretty hard to confuse the two acts. Act II is the one with all the controversial stuff in it. -Chris
- The play is to be performed in April 2006 in Milton Keynes and is already (in September 2005) creating controversy in the local press.
- First off, it's an opera not a play, and second, that was a while ago. Anyone from the disaster area want to update this? I've cut it for the minute, but it should probably be reinserted (or the whole bit replaced with " See Jerry Springer: The Opera for details.") Thanks. Tyrhinis 12:07, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] expert
I'm changing the {{attention}} to {{expert}}.
Like The Anome said, I think this needs a lawyer.Werdan 17:48, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

- IP editor has today added a lot of specific information. Would anyone knowledgeable care to review the {{expert}} tag in the light of these improvements?--Old Moonraker (talk) 16:46, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Repeal
I've just removed "This is no longer law in the UK as of 05/03/2008", although a bill to this effect has just been published. [1] --Old Moonraker (talk) 07:01, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
