lol all the laws of England there are so many nobody could count them

The Easter Act 1928 provides that, in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and
the Isle of Man, Easter Day shall be a fixed day in each year, viz. the first Sunday
after the second Saturday in April. The Act has been on the statute book for 62
years but has never been brought into force.

Under the Metropolitan Police Act 1839 no person (other than persons acting in
obedience to lawful authority) is to discharge any cannon or other firearm of greater
calibre than a common fowling-piece within 300 yards of any dwelling house to the
annoyance of any inhabitant thereof. Maximum penalty: £200 fine.

The Metropolitan Streets Act 1867 prohibits the driving or conducting of any cattle
through any street between the hours of 10 in the morning and 7 in the evening
(except with the permission of the Commissioner of Police). The maximum penalty
is a £200 fine for each head of cattle.

Answer 4

I see that the old nonsense about killing a Welshman in Chester/Shrewsbury/Hereford etc has now become a Scot in York. These myths have been around for at least 50 years, but nobody has been able to give the Act and section.

Answer 5

I know that some of what you said is true, like the info about the Arch Bishop of Canterbury. I do not know if the rest is correct, the vote failing by 10 votes. If it is true, it is very scary. This is what the terrorists have said all along is their ultimate goal. If England bows down to them, who's next? Very disturbing indeed.

Answer 6

I think that we can safely say, after recent events, and now that we have a high influx of muslims in this country, that it would be illegal to name a teddy bear Mohammed.
