Legal Eagles
With such a long and colourful legal history, the UK has its fair share of legislation and legal precedent. Laws are typically repealed as they become outdated, but some are missed, such as these:- The head of a dead whale found on the British coast is legally the property of the King, while the tail belongs to the Queen in case she needs the bones for a corset.
- In the city of York, it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls if he is carrying a bow and arrow.
- In London, it is illegal to flag down a taxi if you have the plague.
- Royal Navy ships that enter the Port of London must provide a barrel of rum to the Constable of the Tower of London.
- Under the UK’s Tax Avoidance Schemes Regulations 2006, it is illegal not to tell the taxman anything you don’t want him to know, though you don’t have to tell him anything you don’t mind him knowing.
