"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

Quote of the Day: 'F-F-F-F-Off, Monsieur François Fillon' edition

"Let’s leave aside François Fillon’s attempts to drag Britain into someone else’s troubles, and instead focus on his main contention. Can you spot the flaw in his logic? European integration is failing, so we need more European integration! My go-kart has crashed, so I’m going to drive an articulated lorry! My dinghy keeps capsising, so put me at the helm of an ocean liner!"

- Daniel Hannan is far from impressed by French Prime Minister François Fillon's call for Britain to 'help save the euro'

We say: F-F-F-F-off, Fillon.

Cameroonies who might be tempted to listen to Fillon's desperate plea might also be interested in the recent opinion piece of Nile Gardiner, Director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C., in the Daily Telegraph. He warned: "The deathly hand of Brussels poses a huge threat to Britain’s long-term economic growth and freedom, and must be fought with vigour by the UK’s political and business leaders."
