A jury of 12 can annul legislation, Regardless of what legislation they pass, that is why people influence law not by voting but through the Jury. This is the key how to beat them and showing them who is Sovereign. We have the power, we just have to learn how to use it.

This video is good to watch and we live in hope that things were that easy. How many people are having to pay c.tax and water rates without their consent? Courts don't care about people rights as bailiffs will have overall say regardless of our rights. Ireland don't pay c.tax yet their country is cleaner and prettier than uk, yet we still are made to pay. We have no rights. Where are the constitution when people stand up in court unable to defend themselves? You have to be educated in this before applying it. We need the constitution at every court collecting debts that don't even have to be paid. People need them to help as words are not enough. People won't believe until they've seen it in action!

[@strongangel]

John Bingley set me out on my constitutional journey 9 years or so back. From then i have read all the "constitutional experts" from Bagehot to Bognador - and found them to be better historians than constitutional experts. In fact i did win a Queens Bench Claim in the RCJ during 2022 [QB-2022-001744] focused upon Magna Carta 1297 [Is it Law or not?]. The Claim was not publicised, but as is evident enow, and will become more evident in the coming months, has had/will have dramatic impact. Mr Bingley, and all the others failed to understand the true import of the 1297 Charter: I.E. not one of them describes the Premises, as may be noted above at frame 8:19 >> 27, whereat the most important term (the second of two 'bookends' - between which the Clauses are arranged) is not even highlighted. The 1297 Charter provides: Is, the written constitution of the UKGBNI, as acknowledged by Petition of Rights (1628) and Bill of Rights (1688): Them three constitutional documents together asserting the RULE OF LAW upon those who would debate, design, draft and dispense rule of law (liberties) over the lawful Person (Subject). In short NO ATHEOS (consequence) ET ALIAS SECTAS (example) may legislate from within any premisses upon the premises that UKGBNI Sovereignty is found by. The restrictive-covenant-running-with-the-land-for-ever, which Magna Carta 1297 folds, was breached from 1849 to date - for the sake of greed and bad mindedness in equal measure: A negligence that will be repaired, else UKGBNI will become ever more lawless and fragmented at the whim of an unscrupulous, wrongly Ruling hierarchy and their illegitimate minions, who, evermore emboldened, today import all manner of repugnant constituencies upon the land and make assaults upon the Subject, with little or no regard for the lawful constituents of the land and the most excellent constitution that is theirs.

When I was in school, it was taught. I did British Constitution GCE in early 70s. It was removed from our education system after we had joined the EU, around the mid 70s. I only found this out in the last couple of years. I had always assumed that it was common knowledge. Anyone educated in law since, has not been aware of it's existence. I would think that by now, there are very few left in law practices that are aware we even have a Constitution.

[@europhile2658]

Very good! but what happened to the Petition of Right (1628) and the Instrument of Government (1653)? The IoG is viewed as the first Constitution in the English Speaking World. Also the US no longer has a "Bill of Rights", even though everyone still calls it that, it is now a part of the Constitution (the Amendments). Also the EU is a Union, the same as the US is a Union. You are sort of arguing against a supposed unified Country that still does not exist (even in the US)

[@strongangel]

The WIKI describes the IoG as the first codified written constitution. That is incorrect. The Magna Carta 1297 is both those things, and is upheld by Petition of Right and Bill of Right,.

[@annoyingbstard9407]

That “written constitution” consists entirely of statutes and we never consent to them.

[@MHLivestreams]

I only accept the Magna Carta 1215, the claim of rights 1688, as they're not involving parliament, and can't be altered. The rest is contractual / commercial business, by consent.

[@MrCosmik1]

+james peirce I'm not an expert on British Constitutional law, but I do know quite a few things on the EU. If I'm not mistaken, the EU is a treaty and therefore a contract. When the UK joined, it signed the contract and hence agreed to transfer some of its sovereignty to the EU, thus giving it authority on some legal topics.

[@mysterioussquirrel4456]

[@DJdoodoo]

+Mysterious Squirrel They have a duty to translate certain EU law into UK law & failure to do so results in penalties. If a failure of our government to do this causes an encumbrance upon you then you are able to hold it liable through the EU. Therefore EU law certainly does impose on UK law & this is why you are seeing a referendum coming up soon regarding staying in the EU or not.

Definitely curious as to what happened around a handful of months ago that caused several people to comment almost the exact same thing about how the United Kingdom doesn't actually exist or something.. weird.. not sure what they're smoking but I want some. It's also a shame most of the comments are so sweaty and frothy in nature, righteously proclaiming how enslaved we are by the EU, which is also just utter nonsense. It's not surprising that people watch a few videos and suddenly think themselves legal scholars, the most woke and red pilled of our history and sovereignty to be found. Aaaannnyway, getting away from all that, this video is extremely interesting. I do, in my humble opinion, agree that we truly became a Constitutional Monarchy with the Glorious Revolution because while the Magna Carta is not to be ignored, reading it though you don't get the same limitations on monarchy and assurances of rights as you do with the Declaration of Rights; that the DoR is about the people, the MC is about barons. But I do disagree, again in my humble opinion, with the notion that EU law taking precedence is unconstitutional, because.. well firstly, I have yet to see an example of EU law which, if otherwise passed by the UK, would be considered unconstitutional; and secondly because we agreed to _consider_ EU law this way, to _consider_ EU law as superior to UK law. We agreed to be limited this way in the exact same way you agree to abide by certain rules while playing football. Does the referee violate your rights when he red cards you? No, of course not! You can stop playing that football game at any time, and indeed that's what we've just done, we left the EU and extricated ourselves from EU lawmaking. We still have certain EU-originated laws, like GDPR, because we chose for ourselves to keep them. We never lost our sovereignty.

[@samrowbotham8914]

I have argued with various people over the years about the name of our Constitution in England our Constitution is the English Constitution which we share with Wales. Scotland has its won Constitution which is why they have a different legal system to England and Wales. Most people working in English Law today do not know how many constitutional documents there are that make up our English Constitution. Wiki list 47 of them I have found several more. Most people are pushed to name more than 3. The reason we are in this mess today in 2024 is that most Englishmen have forgotten they had a Constitution. Parliament is now just a talking shop and The Bank of England is the defacto UK Government. Labour and Tory are a Uniparty there is no democracy we are a Constitutional Monarchy. We have to all understand our Constitution. How many people know what the venerable Lord Holt said in his judgement in the case Ashby v White regarding taxes? Not many probably one in 100,000. The Establishment is getting away with TREASON because of your ignorance so do something about it. "The facts embodied in it and the circumstances giving rise to them were buried or misunderstood. The underlying idea of the sovereignty of the Law, long existent in feudal custom, was raised by it into a doctrine for the national State. And when in subsequent ages the State, SWOLLEN WITH ITS OWN AUTHORITY, has attempted to ride roughshod over the Rights or Liberties of the Subject it is to this doctrine (Magna Carta) that appeal has again and again been made, and never as yet, without success."

The Lisbon Treaty profits lots of people, therefore the British Constitution got shoved aside. Breaking oaths is the most common thing in the world. Here in the USA kids were sent to the electric chair even though the Constitution strictly forbids cruel and unusual punishments. Some people got 20 years in prison for possessing small amounts of marijuana. Edmund Burke wrote a great essay condemning oaths. He maintained that oaths don't hold people to keep good promises, rather they reinforce dishonesty, they condition people to become comfortable with lying, they lead people to believe that breaking oaths is an ordinary and acceptable part of human existence. Jesus said oaths are from the devil, Matthew 5. 37. Take the marriage vows, for example. You might swear to God that you will love honor and cherish your spouse till death do you part, but if your spouse becomes unbearably obnoxious, and you just can take it anymore, then people will find reasons to break their vows to God, and they will find reasons to be comfortably satisfied that God agrees with them that it is no big deal that they broke their marriage vows.
