that have been re served or that ap per tained unto us by com mon law and im me mo rial cus -
tom”.

The Bill of Rights en sured that such com mon law and im me mo rial cus tom were to be hon -
ored… “in all time to come.”

“If Magna Carta be, as most of us are in clined to be lieve it is, …un al ter able as to the main, it
is so in ev ery part”.

The above is a very relevant quotation by a Justice of the Peace, in court, in 1661.

What is more, the Eng lish peo ple have an ob li ga tion to pre serve their rights, both at a per -
sonal level and with re gard to so ci ety in gen eral. To al low any ab ro ga tion of those rights at any time
will deny those same rights to gen er a tions of Brit ons as yet un born.

There is a constitutional right to self-defense. As John Locke said:

“The right of self-de fense is the first law of na ture. When the right of the Brit ish peo ple to
keep and bear arms is, un der any col our or pre text what so ever pro hib ited, lib erty, if not al -
ready an ni hi lated, is on the brink of ex tinc tion”.

Locke’s point is a good example of political philosophy facing reality.

To be free the in di vid ual has to be able to ex er cise, and in fact, dem on strate his free dom as a
re minder to those who run the ma chin ery of state. As a re sult, in Brit ain the state serves the peo ple,
whereas the Eu ro pean tra di tion is for the peo ple to re main the vas sals of the state. In other words, to
ap pre ci ate the fresh air of free dom the in di vid ual has to be aware of the op por tu ni ties that are his
right. It is the duty of any gov ern ment to spread that aware ness. It is the sad re al ity of the Eu ro pean
Un ion that all its ac o lytes work to hide the mean ing of free dom, to re strict free dom, and only to
grant “rights” as mar ket ing tags to stric tures in tended to com pletely sub ju gate the in di vid ual.

Politicians

Brit ish pol i ti cians (of all par ties) over the last forty years, by their ac tions in sub ju gat ing the
Brit ish peo ple within the Eu ro pean Un ion, seem to have had a mis sion to erad i cate the free doms,
which are the birth right of all Brit ons. They look with envy across the chan nel to a Eu rope, which
con tin ues the dic ta to rial tra di tions of Char le magne, Na po leon, Hit ler and Mus so lini.

Jean Monet – considered to be the founder of the European Union – said:

“We will create Europe by misleading the people”
