"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

Quote of the Day: 28th December 2010

"So my advice to the British is: Hold on, my friends, to the great charters on which your own constitution -- and the American constitution -- stand. Hold on: Magna Carta of 1215, the Petition of Right of 1628, the Bill of Rights of 1689. And fight to destroy the Lisbon Treaty and its oppressive and undemocratic Charter of Rights which wants to sweep the ancient rights of the English-speaking peoples all away -- even though the EU law says you now have no right to engage in such a fight."

Sir,
My heartfelt congratulations and thanks. You are at the top of your game! Your blog is always spot-on and my first and last read every day. My only regret is that you are not updating every hour! (I'm a spoiled brat i know.)
Seriously, this blog is a beacon of hope for all true patriots throughout this country and beyond. Don't falter or feel isolated in the months ahead 'cause you, along with other like-minded free men and women have lit the blue touch paper of freedom and the fuse is smoldering yet rapidly accelerating to the spectacular awakening of our national psyche and ultimate conclusion of the restoration of our nation and our rights under our centuries old laws. God bless all who drink from the freedom cup and be sure "We the People" are behind you and walking with you side-by-side as we advance our righteous cause and reclaim our glorious land and heritage. Happy New Year and remember, "Who Dares Wins"

That's incredibly kind of you to say, reiverdave - thank you, sincerely, for taking time and trouble to give such kind encouragment.

I would hope that all I am doing is reflecting - normally - a sizeable slice of public opinion. That is, after all, all I am - just an ordinary member of the public with eyes to see and thoughts I want to express.

I think the biggest part of what we do as bloggers - both authors and readers - is about letting each other know that we're not alone in thinking as we do.

Certainly, that's what I take most strongly from being part of the blogging community.

So, here's to 2011. Let's hope it brings us some joy, both privately and as part of the ever more vocal community of patriots.

Happy New Year! TTC

Forever... Diana

...genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum.

"And when I look at people in public life... I'm not a political animal but I think the biggest disease this world suffers from in this day and age is the disease of people feeling unloved, and I know that I can give love - for a minute, for an hour, for a day, for a month, but I can give. I'm very happy to do that and I want to do that."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"I think the British people need someone in public life to give affection, to make them feel important, to support them, to give them light in their dark tunnels. I see it as a possibly unique role, and yes, I've had difficulties, as everybody has witnessed over the years, but let's now use the knowledge I've gathered to help other people in distress."
- Diana, Princess of Wales, 1996

"Diana was the very essence of compassion, of duty, of style, of beauty. All over the world she was a symbol of selfless humanity, a standard-bearer for the rights of the truly downtrodden, a truly British girl who transcended nationality."
- Earl Spencer

"..she was our guardian, friend and protector. She never once allowed her unfaltering love for us to go unspoken or undemonstrated. She will always be remembered for her amazing public works. But behind the media glare, to us, just two loving children, she was quite simply the best mother in the world."
- Prince Harry

The People's Sovereignty

"...our membership of the European Union has removed our democracy; it has taken away the right of the British people to elect and dismiss those who make their laws. Our system of representative parliamentary democracy, for which millions have died over hundreds of years, has been frittered away. It no longer serves the people. That is why the time has come to give power back to the people. They deserve it anyway; it is their power and it belongs to them. Before long their anger will overflow if they do not get it back."

- Former UKIP leader Lord Pearson in the House of Lords, 5th February 2009

British resistance and liberty

"We British have in a very special way contributed to Europe. Over the centuries we have fought to prevent Europe from falling under the dominance of a single power. We have fought and we have died for her freedom. Only miles from here, in Belgium, lie the bodies of 120,000 British soldiers who died in the First World War.

Had it not been for that willingness to fight and to die, Europe would have been united long before now - but not in liberty, not in justice. It was British support to resistance movements throughout the last War that helped to keep alive the flame of liberty in so many countries until the day of liberation."

- Margaret Thatcher, Bruges, 1992
