The book Democracy Defined by Kenn D’Oudney offers the best, most peaceful solution to our problems. It says there is a movement within the legal profession to bring back the Magna Carta. It says that it has never been overturned, and is still in place and that government has simply assumed ever more power that it does not have. Whilst theoretically overturned by Pope Innocent 3rd, he had no powers to do so and secondly, on at least 38 occassions since, Kings have reconfirmed that it remains our constitution. It is also confirmed in a plaque in the Old Bailey. What does this do? The book focuses on Common Law Trial by Jury which basically says that the Jury has the ability to annul laws. (Wikipedia confirms that this can still happen. Wikipedia says if a jury frees someone who is clearly guilty of the charge, the government will recognise it and annul the law, however the book says this right of annulment is a right of the jury). Legislation that gets past doesn’t become Rule of Law until a jury has confirmed it. Whilst this may sound strange at first, the fact is we allow juries to make decisions over people’s lives, and they do a far better job of it than governments. What this also highlights is that much of our present legislation which gives greater rights to certain races and minority groups is illegal and the government’s enforcement of them is treason, and they can be charged as such. Another aspect is that the Magna Carta outlaws any religion of hate, so again, many government policies are in breech of this. We need to get more of the public aware of this - (I suggest Ben contacts Kenn and gets the details of whats really going on) - because this is the best route to a peaceful return to sensible government and repairing the social contract which big government has destroyed. **Whilst there are many solutions being offered to the problems we face, Restoration of our Constitutional Common Law Trial by Jury is the only one that addresses them all, returning Britain to a democracy. It would not be a revolution, trying something different, but returning to something that is tried and tested and known to work: a Restoration. By adopting the Constitutional mechanism of justice, which is one of the most respected systems of all time, on which the U.S. and Australian constitutions were based, the campaign has enormous weight… The Democracy Defined Restoration Campaign is being led by members of the legal profession who are pressing for this to be taught once again at law schools where it has been forgotten for the last generation. By doing this, a base of understanding is starting to be recreated, from which a broader understanding and movement will develop, including from politicians.
In today’s society the Magna Carta is not fit for purpose. We need a new written impartial constitution that suits all the population of Great Britain.
Our legal system is now so corrupt it allows judges to make the most absurd excuses to allow convicted felons to remain in Britain, generally at the expense of the innocent tax payers.
We need to reinstate the power of the honest men and women to bring the legal system under their control, not the judiciary.
A means of doing that is to reinstate the Grand Jury System, together with Trial by Jury for all cases.
The 1933 act of Parliament that abolished the Grand Jury System needs to be repealed, and replaced with an act that reinstates that system, and also brings back Trial by Jury for all cases, without exception.
I keep thinking surely this corrupt government has broken the law, can’t an intelligent lawyer take on Starmer & Labour? They are intentionally destroying tbe country & harming citizens
But who would write the constitution? It would end up consulting every special interest group in the country, end up packed with woke nonsense and not worth the paper it’s written on. This is already the case with the ECHR. A child with a set of crayons could have drafed a better treaty.
It needs to be drafted by a right wing party and voted on in Parliament.
I’ll post the rights part of Constitution that already exists and only needed a few word changes to make it suitable for the UK. It might be familiar to some.
