The past is a strange, confusing place, and it’s a good thing we don’t go there anymore.
With the possible exception of the history of fashion, nowhere is the confusing strangeness of our country better reflected than in our laws. The kind of actions that we were deemed significant enough to be enshrined in law are a testament to the madness that ran through the blood of our countrymen, but how many of them are still in force today?
Below we have ten laws, and all you have to do is identify whether they’re real or fake. Some you’ll have heard of, some we’ve made up, and some are so bizarre that you won’t have a clue either way.
For a deeper look inside the strange and frequently shocking world of law in this country, check out The Secret Barrister: Stories of the Law and How It’s Broken, available now from Amazon and Audible.
