The law is the law and all men are equal in the eyes of the law. This is one of the most fundamental concepts in English law but the most serious of crimes – treason – is committed regularly and goes unpunished. Other fundamental rights that we have had for centuries and are guaranteed by the constitution are ignored.
Federal Europe
Membership of the EU is not only damaging to the economy and bad for democracy but is illegal.
Firstly, the 37th article of the 1563 Articles of Religion says that “The Queen’s Majesty hath the chief power in this realm of England and other her dominions, unto whom the chief government of all estates of this realm, whether they be ecclesiastical or civil, in all causes doth appertain, and is not nor ought to be subject to any foreign jurisdiction”.
Secondly, the 1689 Bill of Rights says “And I do declare That noe Forreigne Prince Person Prelate, State or Potentate hath or ought to have any Jurisdiction Power Superiority Preeminence or Authoritie Ecclesiastical or Spirituall within this Realme Soe helpe me God”. The important bit isn’t the term “forreigne prince” (although the President of France also takes the title of Prince of Andorra when taking office) – it is the word “potentate”. A potentate is an ambassador performing negotiations on behalf of a large group. A foreign prince is merely a person holding a royal title in another country who the monarch allows to use that title in this country.
Catholics on the Throne
Last month, the Catholic Bishop of Motherwell, Joseph Devine, criticised No Mandate Brown for failing to support calls for the Act of Settlement to be amended to allow Catholics to become King or Queen. Attempting to change the line of succession is High Treason under the 1702 Treason Act and the penalty is life in prison.
Abolition of the Monarchy
There exists a Campaign for an Elected Head of State which seeks to remove the Queen as head of state and replace her with a president. Anyone connected with the campaign or supporting their aims is guilty of treason under the 1848 Treason Felony Act. The Campaign for an Elected Head of State claims, in its FAQs, that because the House of Lords declared the 1848 Treason Felony Act incompatible with the Human Rights Act that it is no longer against the law. The ruling was actually a statement by Lord Scott and doesn’t change the law. Lord Scott said that “in a mature democracy people do not get prosecuted for advocating political change by peaceful and constitutional means”. Lord Goldsmith, the Attorney General, said that the Treason Felony Act did not breach the right to freedom of expression and refused permission for the Guardian to appeal against the ruling that they had committed treason. The law, as it stands, holds republicanism as felony treason and punishable by life in prison.
Fighting for a foreign power
When Afghanistan and Iraq were invaded, the military found several men who hold British passports fighting against our troops. Again, this is high treason by giving aid to the enemy. However, rather than being tried for treason, they were packed off to Guantanamo Bay or brought back here and tried for terrorism-related charges.
Summary Justice
The 1689 Bill of Rights says “That all grants and promises of fines and forfeitures of particular persons before conviction are illegal and void”. Summary justice – parking tickets, speeding tickets, on-the-spot fines for drunken behaviour or dropping litter, etc. – is illegal and any fines are void. The Bill of Rights is a constitutional law and is not assumed to be repealed if another law is passed that contradicts it. This was the ruling in Thorburn -v- Sunderland, also known as the metric martyrs case.
The right to trial by jury
Magna Carta gives the right to a trial by jury of your peers. As with the Bill of Rights, Magna Carta is a constitutional law and cannot be repealed by implication. The abolition of jury trials – first with the establishment of the county court system in the late 1800’s and more recently with the removal of the right to trial by jury for complex fraud cases – is unconstitutional and illegal.

Earlier this year, our nurses were told that they would be getting the same percentage pay rise as Scottish nurses but rather than a single pay increase like in Scotland, their pay increase was to be staged meaning they were getting less. English police officers have now fallen foul of the same discriminatory policy – they are to reveive the same 2.5% pay rise as Scottish officers but it won’t come into effect until January whilst in Scotland the pay rise is immediate, in full and backdated to September when the British government and the Police entered arbitration over the pay deal.
