From the article:

The Act makes it an offence to display "any writing, sign or other
visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting,
within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be caused
harassment, alarm or distress thereby".

So that's the TV licensing adverts out of the window then.

And neighbourhood watch signs? And speed camera warnings? And trespassers
will be prosecuted?
