Re: And Still They Try To Thwart Democracy!!
Flicker, I fear you are just not getting it here.
The point that needs to be understood and taken on board, is that Britain's entire presence within the EU is illegal.
The very Bill you cite, the European Communities Bill of 1972 was pushed through parliament
illegally by Ted Heath's government.
It
was illegal because British constitution (however we choose to label and define it) very clearly stated (and still states) that
parliament requires a prior consultation of the people (either by a general election or a referendum) on any measure involving constitutional change.
The European Communities Bill of 1972 clearly represented constitutional change because it was handing our sovereignty over to the EU. Heath knew this. However polls at the time indicated that the people would never have voted the Bill through in a referendum. The people were opposed to going into the EU by a margin of 2 to 1.
So Heath pushed the Bill through, illegally, changing British constitution WITHOUT the consent of the British people and presumably the Queen, who swore a Coronation Oath to uphold our "laws and customs" also broke that oath in ratifying it.
Everything else beyond this point is utterly pointless debating.
Our entry into the EU and thus all the changes to our fundamental constitution is founded on an illegal act, an act of treason in fact, and as such, everything else that followed after is of no legal concern. We were taken into the EU illegally in the first place and so
that fundamental issue is the one that should enable us to sever ties now very quickly.
The people are the sovereign power in an elected democracy. Parliament DO NOT have legal or moral right to change British Constitution without the consent of the electorate.
The
1689 Bill of Rights contains the following oath:
`I do declare that no foreign prince, person, prelate, state or potentate hath or ought to have jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence or authority within this Realm.'
This means EVERY EU Treaty that has been signed by parliament and the Queen is breaching that fundamental piece of our constitution, the Bill Of Rights. The EU Treaties are therefore illegal. No-one, can pass such a treaty that changes our constitution WITHOUT the consent of the people (i.e. referendum). The fact that 5 of the 6 EU Treaties have been so signed and ratified by successive governments and the Queen is utterly shocking and unacceptable. All need to be held to account for breaching the constitution and failing to uphold their sworn oaths.
Ted Heath should very obviously have held a referendum in 1972, but didn't because they knew the British people would never vote to join the EU and hand over their sovereignty and all that goes with it.
This year, the sovereign electorate, again, demonstrated it's unwillingness to be a part of the EU by voting to Leave in a referendum. Whilst that referendum was a useful guide as to the will of the people it is utterly irrelevant to the core fact that our entire presence within the EU is already illegal and fraudulent. So the June referendum actually makes no difference whatsoever. We were forced into the EU illegally and thus we should immediately sever any links to the EU, declare that the position is illegal and that as a consequence NO EU LAWS CAN POSSIBLY APPLY TO THE UK.
Now I am a practical man and I can see that the years of being illegally forced into the EU had allowed business and trade and structure to form around that UK-EU fraudulent relationship and thus those things need to be exited from carefully and in the best interests of the UK. Whilst that may take some time, the fundamental aspects of declaring our EU membership null and void should press on regardless.
