Battle to
force EU vote goes to court
A WEALTHY Tory donor
[Stuart Wheeler] was yesterday
given the go-ahead to launch a legal bid to force
the government to
HOLD A REFERENDUM
on the
[TREATY of TREASON]
the
EU [LISBON] TREATY
Stuart Wheeler said Labour's decision
to break a
'PROMISE' to
hold a vote should be declared
UNLAWFUL.
A judge at the Hugh Court ruled that
the 73 -year-old -who made £30 million-plus from the
spread-betting firm IG Index -had
'an arguable case'
that should go to a full hearing next
month
JUNE-2008
Mr Wheeler, who raised
£150,000
from 150 donors for his legal fees, said:
'The moral case for
a
REFERENDUM
was overwhelming. The
legal case is strong, based upon a series of
promises to the
ELECTORATE.'
At the centre of the case is
Tony Blair's pledge in the
2005 Labour Manifesto to hold
a Referendum
on the
EU constitution.
The blueprint was abandoned when it
was rejected by French and Dutch voters in 2005 and
replaced by the
LISBON TREATY
Ministers insist it was so
different from its predecessor that the referendum
promise did not stand.
[Well! in the next few month's we
shall all find out whether our English lions about
the Throne are alert to their responsibilities as we
are sure they are aware that their decision to allow
a REFERENDUM will not only save a nation state of
1400 years in the making but also save English
common law which is ENGLAND itself and the manner
and custom of the people of our Island Home.

We follow with the words of a Lord
Chancellor of England-Lord Fortescue from 1468 to
1471.
CHAPTER XVII
ENGLISH CUSTOMARY LAW
The customs of England are very
ancient, and have been used and accepted by five
nations successively.
'The kingdom of England was first
inhabited by Britons; then ruled by Romans, again by
Britons, then possessed by Saxons, who changed its
name from Britain to England. Then for a
short time the kingdom was conquered by Danes, and
again by Saxons, but finally by Normans, whose
posterity hold the realm at the present time.
And throughout the period of these nations and their
kings, the realm has been continuously ruled by the
same customs, as it is now, customs which, if they
had not been the best, some of those kings would
have changed for the sake of justice or by the
impulse of caprice, and totally abolished them,
[As our MAJESTY THE QUEEN will no
doubt do likewise if the LORD LAWS of ENGLAND allow
the DESTRUCTION of so eminent and so immemorial
customs and law to be exchanged for a continental
variety which the above Lord Justice at the time
abhorred as not of the race of FREE MEN.]
To continue:
especially the Romans, who judged
almost the whole of the rest of the world by
their laws. Indeed, neither the civil laws
of the Roman, so deeply rooted by the usage of so
many ages, nor the laws of the Venetians, which are
renowned above others for their antiquity - though
their island was uninhabited, and Rome unbuilt at
the time of the origin of the Britons - nor the laws
of any Christian kingdom, are so rooted in
antiquity. Hence there is no gainsaying nor
legitimate doubt, but that the customs of the
English are not only good but the best.'
[page41 De Laudibus Legum
Anglie]

As with many of our
previous influxes of people from the four corners of
the world they came to our island and merged into
our community with their particular heritages and
became as part of the whole.
In our long history
our ancestors fought and died for the
‘Rights and
Liberties’
of
Englishmen.
For an English system
of government totally different as it is even today
in 2008 to that of the Continent
as a great 15th
century
Lord Justice of
England
Sir John Fortescue
- ‘was in revolt
against the sole authority of the kings who ruled
their realms on the principles of the civil laws of
Rome, especially the maxim Quad principi
placuit legis habet vigorem; he held the
English kingship superior to the French because it
was monarchy limited by assent of parliament.
Among the further
evidences of the modernistic influence upon
Fortescue were
the methods which he
employed in his studies of law and government:
OBSERVATION
CRITITICISM
COMPARISON.
These methods of
research had been introduced in the fourteenth
century by Petrarch himself; and Fortescue,
consciously or unconsciously, was a follower of that
great Italian poet, the first true reviver of
learning in mediaeval Europe.
Fortescue’s works were
based in part at least, on his own observation of
the constitutional and legal institutions to
criticism, but advocated certain measures for their
reform.
Comparison, moreover,
formed one of the main characteristics of his work
as a legal and political writer: by the method of
comparison he drew sharp lines of distinction
between the civil law of the Continent and the
Common Law of
England.’
(Sir John
Fortescue-De Laudibus Legum Anglie )
The burial place of
the Lord Chief Justice is in the Sanctuary of the
church of St. Edburgha -Ebrington-Gloucs.
The Parish Church in
Ebrington stands in a commanding position in one of
the highest parts of the village. It looks over a
fertile vale to the hills of the Cotswold
borderland. Its short and sturdy tower is a landmark
for miles around.
ST EADBURGHA is the
patronal saint. Not much is known of this Saxon
saint, but what we do know is of great interest. She
is patron of Pershore Abbey and more locally, to the
‘old’ church at Broadway and a few others in the
Worcestershire/Gloucestershire area.
It is known that
Eadburgha was a daughter of King Edward the Elder -
a son of King Alfred and, at an early age, she was
sent to the Abbey in Winchester founded by King
Alfred’s widow. In due course she became an Abbess
and , therefore a woman of great power and prestige
in her day. Her relics were preserved at Pershore.
Her patronal festival is held on the 15th
June.

In a time of growing peril to our
country in 1937 with the 'Gathering Storm'
years of which we know so much of the titanic
efforts of Winston Churchill to alert the people to
the great dangers of the government's failure to
rearm to face the expected threat of a world war
from Adolf Hitler .
Today in May 2008 we can draw a
parallel with the danger we are faced today with our
own House of Commons having ratified a TREATY of
TREASON and with the people only now beginning to
stir to realise the dangers to their way-of-life
-their institutions- and their very own FREEDOM.]
Mr Richard Crossman MP sometime
Fellow and Tutor of new College , Oxford wrote a
book in 1937
Plato To-day
A discourse between a modern view of
the world through the eyes of the Greek philosopher
Plato. A brilliant masterpiece in itself we are
however only to relate to you extracts from the
EPILOGUE.
'My answer then to my friendly critic
is this: I am a democrat and a Socialist who sees
Fascism [1937] rejected and democracy defended on
quite inadequate grounds; and it is because I
realize that our greatest danger today [as in
May-2008] is not the easy acceptance but the easy
rejection of Totalitarian philosophy, that I have
tried to restate the [Plato's] Republic in modern
terms.'
It is a sound political principle not
to underrate your opponent, and in this book I have
tried to make him as formidable as possible, and to
expose the weakness of much so-called democratic
theory. If the reader gets an uneasy feeling
that he cannot controvert Plato's arguments, I shall
be well content. For in that case he will have
begun to see that the real menace of Fascism is due
to the scarcity of democrats with a practical and
realistic creed. Dictatorships do not arise
mere owing to the folly of foreigners. They
are imposed firstly because democratic institutions
become unmanageable and awkward for the ruling
interests and secondly because the common man
does not find democracy worth defending.
The success of Fascism in the
international field is due largely to the 'pacifism'
of Great Britain. This 'pacifism' in its turn
is the result of a profound scepticism about the
value of DEMOCRACY and of the LEAGUE of NATIONS. [As
the rise of TOTALITARIANISM in a supposed UNITED
STATES of EUROPE.]
The ordinary Englishman is not at the
present prepared to die for anything really
important, least of all for democracy. And our
statesmen seem to agree with him. [As in May-2008]
It is difficult to name one principle
or obligation or imperial interest which will not
sacrifice to avoid war [As in May 2008 when our own
government has already capitulated to our past enemy
on terms of surrender which have taken away the very
foundations and institutions and common Law for a
foreign system which was rejected by a Lord
Chancellor of England -Lord Fortescue over five
centuries ago.]
Democracy, in fact, has lost belief
in itself, and become an inert instead of a dynamic
force in world affairs. [We see this today in
May 2008 when many countries which had received
their FREEDOM from the once British empire with a
parliamentary democracy of their choosing are in the
hands of TOTALITARIAN regimes. And this at the
precise time that the Mother of Parliaments has
voted its own DESTRUCTION
