9 Most Surprising Things You Can Get Arrested for in the UK

Refusing to face toward Mecca when you hear the call to prayer: You intolerant monster.

Authorities in the UK are cracking down on just about everything these days, but some of the things that can get you in trouble may surprise you.

To help you avoid running afoul of the law on the other side of the pond, The Babylon Bee has come up with the following list of things that can get you arrested in the UK:


  1. Fighting off Muslim migrants who want to mess with your 12-year-old sister: How dare you?

  2. Praying outside an abortion clinic: The penalty doubles if you’re not praying to Allah.

  3. Seasoning your food: Flavorful meals are strictly prohibited.

  4. Giving your child an English name: It shall be Mohammad. Or Mohammadette for girls.

  5. Driving on the right side of the road: You can’t even drive on the correct side. England has fallen.

  6. Refusing to face toward Mecca when you hear the call to prayer: You intolerant monster.

  7. Misgendering your stabber: You are expected to ask their proper pronouns whilst being stabbed.

  8. Using magic outside of Hogwarts: It’s not even allowed to fight off dementors. Terrible.

  9. Publishing a list of “9 Most Surprising Things That Can Get You Arrested In The UK”: Oops. We may not have thought this through.


Chances are, you’ve already done several of the things listed above. With that in mind, you might want to avoid visiting the UK anytime soon.

From our friends at The Babylon Bee.
