{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Bizarre Laws of The UK","slug":"BizarreLawsofTheUK","podcastDescription":"Join your host Monty Lord as he trawls through the history books and picks apart some of the most bizarre laws ever passed in the UK.\n\nHave you ever heard a bizarre law and thought that can’t possibly be true? Is it genuine? Was it ever in existence or just an urban myth that’s become so embellished over time? \n\nFor example…\nIs it illegal to own a pet whale but not a tiger? Is it illegal to cause a nuclear explosion? Is it illegal to be drunk in a pub? Is Granny Farming illegal?\nUntil recently, it was illegal for a woman to encourage a man to marry her by wearing false hair, high heels or makeup. It was also unlawful to sound a gong in Morecambe & Heysham. Until 2016, singing Happy Birthday in public could have been a breach of copyright law, and you could have been sued.\n\nThere are, surprisingly, a great many laws still in existence today that would simply make your jaw drop. While bizarre as these laws may now seem to us, it begs the question, are we in fact, unknowingly breaking these laws regularly?\n\n…all these questions and more will be answered in this podcast, ‘Bizarre Laws of The UK’.\n\nThis show is for anyone who enjoys learning about our sceptred isle’s more bizarre and somewhat macabre laws.\n\nYour host Monty Lord is a 17-year-old bestselling author, multi-award-winning change maker, social entrepreneur and researcher dedicated to challenging injustices through the use of the law. As a world memory champion, Monty became the youngest in the UK, holding the most Guinness World Records for world memory challenges.\n\n\n****\nThe contents of this podcast do not constitute legal advice and are provided for educational purposes only.
