They have laws for everything!
“Where’s the law saying that I can’t shamble around in a graveyard and say ‘Oooooo!!’ at people?? Go ahead and show me! I’ll wait!”
Legal Code of England and Wales:
Public Order Act 1986. Section 5(1) provides:
"(1) A person is guilty of an offence if he/she:
(a) uses threatening [or abusive] words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour, or
(b) displays any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening [or abusive],within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused harassment, alarm or distress thereby."
OOOOOOOO!!!
I feel assaulted. To civil court with you!
You can’t take a ghost to
jailcivil court!
Wait, does (a) mean they can simply arrest you for swearing!? Who decides if what you did was ‘disorderly’? This sounds dangerously vague
There was a clarification done more recently that helps explain. The Wikipedia page explains it.
Basically: just casually swearing? No. Cursing out a person in their face, causing severe anguish and/or a public disturbance? To the point where it might be described by bystanders as verbal assault? Yeah, that’s illegal.
Wtf.
I feel super harassed by the existence of England. It must be removed.
Did he get busted by Scooby and the gang?
So fined for some sense of humour then I see
While I think it sounds funny, it’s definitely cruel. People visiting a cemetery have enough to deal with without having their pain being mocked.

The picture is of a graveyard, not a cemetery.
There’s a difference?
I looked it up
The term graveyard is often used interchangeably with cemetery, but a graveyard primarily refers to a burial ground within a churchyard.
Mostly no difference, what I got is a graveyard is a cemetery but a cemetery may not be graveyard.
So WhipTheLlama is wrong?
Maybe they should be spending less time whipping lamas and more time looking up stuff!
