"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

Hague's promises will please the Conservative Party drones... but offer nothing new
Righty-oh, Billy Boy? But what does it mean?
Makes no reference to what Theresa May just signed up to, does it? Rewriting history a bit to please the Conservative Party faithful, Billy Boy?
See, it's all very well and good - making conference speeches that attempt to quell discontent amongst the rank and file. And in the heated excitement of the confines of a tribal party conference, some empty worded guff and vague promise might excite those who still want to believe.
What are you offering that wasn't available already?
As a sovereign parliament (which has turned itself into a powerless pantomime parliament), the best way of addressing the European Empire dictatorship question is by repealing the European Communities Act 1972.
It should be repealed, anyway.
Firstly on grounds of national sovereignty - of course.
And secondly, on grounds that - as a document supposedly written in the English language - it is incoherent gibberish.
Anyone ever tried reading the thing? Go on. Set fifteen minutes to one side and try working out what the b*ggery-b*ll*cks this load of nonsense is meant to mean.
Can we at least have a new version, written in Plain English for man-on-the-street to get his head around?
How about this for plain English?
"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."
There we go. From our national constitutional document, the Bill of Rights 1689. It is quite clear that the European Empire has no legitimacy here.
And I do not need a William Hague promise to tell me so.
Also in Plain English is the Treason Felony Act 1848. It also prevents what has gone on with the European Empire. We just need a policeman - or better still, a Constable at common law - with cahones enough to round up and arrest every Cabinet Minister from 1972 to date as the statutory offence is quite clear.
And that's just for starters.
We don't need new laws, Billy Boy - which are just "stop the party faithful binning me and 'Call Me Dave'" soundbites anyway.
We just need the police to arrest the political class for having committed crimes by signing up to the European project in the first place.
And if the police won't do it, then bring on the British Armed Forces to sort it all out, come the people's glorious revolution. Well, we can but dream. Oliver Cromwell would no doubt be sent to Guantanamo Bay or some such, were he to be reborn today.
But, under the European Empire, Cromwell's words to Westminster from the mid-seventeenth century could not be more true:
"...you are no Parliament, I say you are no Parliament; I will put an end to your sitting."
Mr. Hague should face up to the truth and "take that bauble away". It might satisfy the Conservative Party Conference and the wanting to believe.
...but it looks and smells like a headless turkey to me.
