"The laws of England are the birthright of the people thereof; and all the kings and queens, who shall ascend the throne of this realm, ought to administer the government of the same according to the said laws; and all their officers and ministers ought to serve them respectively, according to the same."
Act of Settlement, 1700/01

"And I do declare that no foreign prince, person, prelate, state or potentate hath or ought to have any
jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm."

Bill of Rights, 1689
- an important and still exisiting part of OUR both written and unwritten English constitution

Errrr... the European Union is contrary to British law, surely?

Now, we might be quite simple.

However, we've been looking at the Bill of Rights 1689.

This is a key stone of British law and democracy.

It's last two paragraphs quite clearly state that no new statute can EVER unpick what it contains:

II. And be it further declared and enacted by the authority aforesaid, that from and after this present session of Parliament no dispensation by "non obstante" of or to any statute or any part thereof shall be allowed, but that the same shall be held void and of no effect, except a dispensation be allowed of in such statute, and except in such cases as shall be specially provided for by one or more bill or bills to be passed during this present session of Parliament.

III. Provided that no charter or grant or pardon granted before the three and twentieth day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred eighty-nine shall be any ways impeached or invalidated by this Act, but that the same shall be and remain of the same force and effect in law and no other than as if this Act had never been made.


So, in order to trump this Bill of Rights, something had to be done about it BEFORE the 23rd October 1689.

Now, the Bill of Rights quite clearly states as follows:

And I do declare that no foreign prince, person, prelate, state or potentate hath or ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm. So help me God.


So, they can take their European Union and take a running jump. As far as we understand it, it has no legitimacy on this island because the Bill of Rights 1689 says so - and the same Bill of Rights states that it can not be amended or changed by any other statute or 'law'.

It also says something very useful to anybody who has ever been given a fixed penalty notice, too. It says quite a few things that are helpful to the poor downtrodden citizen. Read the ruddy thing. That's what our forefathers wrote it for. To protect us.

Here's the full text. Check it is legitimate with the Public Records Office if you like then run it by a solicitor.

So, we don't know what all the fuss is that William Hague, UKIP and Stuart Wheeler make. Quite clearly, from our interpretation at least, the European Union has no legal mandate to make rules and regulations for this nation and any attempt by any political party or individual to give them any authority after the year 1689 is actually null and void.

UKIP, it's over to you...
