There is the unlawful drilling act of 1812. Its is unlawful to form up a
body of men and carry out military exercises (marching, wheeling,
counter-marching etc.). This is punishable by deportation.
And has never been repealed!!!!
However, I am informed by the CPS that this probably would not be in the
public interest to prosecute!!!
