Freedom of Speech-A Freedom, which cannot be abused - is
not worth having.
In
the Daily Mail on Friday the 18th February 2005 a timely article
by their columnist Andrew Alexander on the most important issue to be
raised in a true democracy, which is Freedom of Speech for without it, a People
are deprived of the very means to find the TRUTH.
Though
at times the means to achieve this may lead to differences of view which after
all is what it all means to speak one’s mind. There is already protection in British law to curb those who wish
to encourage violence. Affray and disorder. When others put this basic right of
comment under threat then who is there to defend the Principle of Free Speech.
* *
We all have a Right
to
Freedom of Speech
Ken
Livingstone should not apologize. He
may not be everyone’s cup of tea, certainly not mine, but the issue has now become
one of freedom of speech. The possibility that a
government-appointed body could suspend him from office is one of the most
outrageous things I have ever heard.
What
he said to an Evening Standard reporter was something no gentleman would
say. But so what? Politics, local or national, has never been
distinguished by gentlemanly behaviour and never will be. Newspapers can play it rough, too. Both sides expect to give and take hard
knocks.
The
real villain of the piece is an item of legislation entitled-soporifically-The Local
Authorities (Model Code of Conduct)
(England) Order 2001. Under
‘General Obligations’, we find the astonishing subsection, which says that
councillors ‘must treat others with respect’.
Note
the word ‘must’- not ‘should’ or ‘would be wise to’ or ‘wouldn’t
be nice if all councillors were to’. No,
politeness is mandatory.
Consider also the ludicrous word ‘others’, not voters, officials, fellow councillors or
anything so narrow. ‘Others’ can mean anyone on the planet, from David Beckham
to the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.
How
on earth, you may wonder, did this preposterous threat to free speech creep
in? It seems that when the legislation
in question was introduced, the Conservatives concentrated their fire on the
excessive regulation of parish councils, which was then being established.
The
Tory promise was that, if it returned to power they would abolish the bureaucratic
Standards Board for England (SBE)_ a collection of nonentities chosen by the
Government-and leave sorting out of councillors’ problems about conflicts of
interest and the like to the Local Government Ombudsman.
The
Opposition made no move to oppose the wretched 2001 Order when it came along-no
protests, not even a demand for a vote.
This
sinister threat of censorship, which should be fought to the last ditch, passed
on a nod, leaving the SBE [Standards Board for England] with the power to bar
someone from office for up to five years for breaching the code.
The
matter of Livingstone’s words has been referred to the SBE by the Board of
Deputies of British Jews, a disgraceful move.
It does British Jewry’s reputation no good to have the Deputies leading
a campaign against freedom of speech.
Livingstone’s
remark about a reporter behaving like a concentration camp guard has, also
absurdly been dubbed ‘racist’.
It
may have played harshly on the target’s sensitivities, but by no stretch of the
imagination did it belittle or attack a race.
The
only thing this sort of exaggeration shows is how far the rot of ‘anti-racism’
has taken us. We are becoming like the
U.S. where the obsession about ‘race’ has reached the proportions of a national
mania.
No
doubt, we shall hear the commonplace retort from those accused of trying to
curb free speech that of course they are all in favour of
freedom, except where it is abused.
This is nonsensical view.
A Freedom,
which cannot be abused, is not worth having.
The threat to Livingstone comes in the wake of another
threat to free speech in the Government’s new legislation to ban remarks, which
stir up religious hatred. Freedom of
speech, if it means what it says, involves the right:
To Irritate
Annoy
Dismay
And Shock
Anyone who Listens.
The only sensible limitation should be on speech designed
to lead to violence, affray or disorder.
But that has always been enshrined in British law anyway.
I can’t help recalling from my youth, in relation to this
whole issue, the harmless joke in one of those monologues wonderfully recited
by [that great entertainer and loveable gentleman] Stanley Holloway-the Lion
and Albert, and all the rest.
As
some readers may remember’ one explained how the barons of old descended on
King John when he was having tea' on Runningmede Island in the’Thames’ and made
him sign the Magna Carta…’but his writing in places was sticky and thick
through dipping his pen in the jam’.
The verse concludes:
‘In
England today we can do what we like
So long as we do what we’re told’
How I laughed then, I would not have believed that this
joke could one day be transmuted to:
‘And that is why we can talk as we like
So long as we talk as we’re
told.’
A final touch of absurdity
is added by the claim that Livingstone’s remark may jeopardise London’s attempt
to host the Olympic Games. If it did,
it would be one good outcome. The cost,
the upset, the dislocation, the sheer waste of effort if London is chosen is
too appalling to contemplate.
But if his comment really
threatened London’s Olympic bid, it would show what a silly solemn people make
up the International Olympic Committee.
It might have been a nice thing if Livingstone had
originally apologised for having been gratuitously rude. But the issue has gone beyond that now. For him to retreat in the face of a threat
to freedom of speech is in no one’s interest.

[WE
applaud the above lone voice in the wilderness who has touched on the real
issue instead as is usual these days the usual witch-hunt to destroy any
outspoken comments not subject to law in order that all dissent is crushed
under a ‘racist ‘ label which will have as a result the erosion of one of the
most precious possessions of our People -a right of Freedom of Speech within
the law for ALL the citizens of our Island.
The
Prime Minister himself when first asked his opinion said that Livingstone
should apologise [for his rudeness] and move on to more important things. - Whether he knew at the
time He was right in that instance.

The extra tier of citizenship was thrust upon

The PEOPLE of GREAT BRITAIN should be allowed
the option of opting out of the EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP if they so wish. The
GOVERNMENT will then be able to provide those who have opted out with
BRITISH DOCUMENTATION
-only such as British (not EU) passports,
driving licences and other national documents.

MESSAGE FROM

WHY WE MUST BE ALERT AND
WITH OUR COMMONWEALTH PATRIOTS MAINTAIN CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY
*
YOU CAN'T HAVE BOTH.
WILL THIS CHRISTMAS
QUEEN'S SPEECH
BE THE
LAST
IN A FREE INDEPENDENT ENGLAND -SCOTLAND AND WALES?
Will HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN ASSURE
YOU THAT YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR FROM BECOMING A PROVINCE OF EUROPE.
OR
WILL THE QUEEN MAKE IT PLAIN THAT
OUR FREE INDEPENDENT NATION STATE IS SACROSANCT BUT THAT IF THE PEOPLE
WISH TO BECOME SLAVES -THEN A REFERENDUM THERE MUST BE.
WE BELIEVE THAT NO ENGLISHMAN SHOULD
BE ASKED WHETHER HE WISHES TO BE A SLAVE OR FREE!
THIS CHRISTMAS WE WILL FIND OUT IF
OUR PROTECTOR OF THE
'Rights
and Liberties'
of
Englishmen
Will keep by HER SACRED OATH
or the MONARCHY be nothing more
than a THEME PARK in the future
THIS IS THE TIME FOR BLUNT SPEAKING AS
THE VERY EXISTENCE OF OUR UNIQUE NATION STATE IS IN DIRE PERIL.
We are told on
the BBC (Brussels Broadcasting Service) at 11.30 pm on Saturday the
23rd December, 2007, that the QUEEN now has a website which has footage
of the Royal Family in the past and that the QUEEN is NOT
'Stuck in the past'
Well! as far as many patriotic
subjects are concerned we need to remain in the PAST when it concerns
the protection of our
FREEDOM and COUNTRY.
Change we have had and will continue
to have but it must not threaten our very WAY-OF-LIFE our Common Law of
England and all which makes our country the most unique parliamentary
democracy in the world.
THERE CAN BE NO SURRENDER!
Should the Monarch fail to protect our inherited RIGHTS and
Liberties then we shall have to fight for a REPUBLIC as happened in the
17th century because the Monarch of the day ignored those very
'Rights
and Liberties of Englishmen' which will still survive in
the English Speaking World today in December 2007. How can the MOTHER of
PARLIAMENTS give away what is already our and our children's
INHERITANCE which cannot be taken away by
PARLIAMENT or the QUEEN.
If the above publicity exercise is to be used to
soften the impact to the population of the BETRAYAL of their
CONSTITUTION and COUNTRY then it would be the greatest TREASON by a
Monarch since James II who wished to sell our COUNTRY to the FRENCH for MONEY and
RELIGION.
WE ASK WHAT
PRICE ARE OUR RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES WORTH?
THEY ARE
PRICELESS!
*
*
The Choice is Yours!-but time is
running out FAST!
6 months to be EXACT!
*
THE EU
WE-AND
THEM!
WE are
to join THEM
THEY are
not joining US
WE have more to LOSE
THEY have
more to GAIN
WE have been clear of
dictators from EUROPE for most of our HISTORY
THEY have
been cursed with that abomination for most of their HISTORY and NOW!

MESSAGE TO HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH
THE II
*
We now learn from the Daily Mail COMMENT
on Christmas Eve that the Queen's Speech will cover the catastrophic
fall in Values and Moral behaviour since the beginning of her 56 -year
reign. This has been brought about by the actions of HER MINISTERS and
the greater number of those in HER PARLIAMENT who have placed THEIR
CONCERNS before the INTERESTS of THE PEOPLE and NATION STATE.
As for the fact that HER PEOPLE feel
LOST that has been the direct result of the actions of HER SUCCESSIVE
GOVERNMENTS and the TRAITOROUS POLITICIANS including PRIME MINISTERS who
have stealthily over the 56 years of HER MAJESTY'S REIGN have almost
achieved their aim of ENSLAVING the PEOPLE to a FOREIGN POWER.
The reason for the marked drop in the
number viewing THE QUEEN'S SPEECH is no doubt because the mass of people
have realised years ago that the MONARCH is powerless to PROTECT their
WAY-OF-LIFE and events up to now have PROVED THEM CORRECT.
There is a well know saying
'Nero fiddled while
Rome burned'
Is
it the case on Christmas Day 2007 while the Monarch talks our Rights
and Liberties are being taken from us under our very noses?
Of
course the QUEEN under HER CONSTITUTIONAL ROLE can only 'Advise and
Warn' HER MINISTERS but when the matter concerns the very LIFE of an
INDEPENDENT STATE we expect that HER MAJESTY consider the arrangement to
be AT AN END as it would make a MOCKERY of the PRIME IMPORTANCE of the
MONARCH to protect our inherited Rights and Liberties which HER
MINISTERS are endeavouring TO GIVE AWAY.
We as loyal subjects of the MONARCH who
is the living embodiment of OUR RIGHTS and LIBERTIES ask at this late
stage with only months to the eradication of a FREE NATION STATE some
veiled comments that HER MAJESTY will PROTECT our RIGHTS and LIBERTIES.
As for the MORAL tone of the NATION STATE
at this most crucial time in ENGLISH CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY this matter
should be left to CHURCH LEADERS who's responsibility it is to CARE for
their FLOCKS particularly at this FESTIVAL of CHRISTMAS.
IF HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH has not been
pre-recorded we ask HER MAJESTY to give those MILLIONS of HER subjects
some hope that their PROTECTOR has NOT FORGOTTEN THEM.
Should
this APPEAL not be answered we can at last confirm that the MONARCHY is
after all nothing more than a talking shop suitable for YouTube and
therefore nothing more than a
THEME PARK

A
CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
TO
ALL OUR VIEWERS.
WE WISH YOU ALL A
HAPPY
CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
IN
2008
[Since our Xmas message to you all last
year we find that our sentiments remain the same with the added
emphasise on the coming danger to YOUR COUNTRY from those many traitors
in YOUR HOUSE of COMMONS who intend to sell YOUR COUNTRY to a FOREIGN
POWER]
We Remember The Year 2006
The Spirit
of England-Winston Churchill-1953
[We were warned in 1953 to
beware of wreckers of our Constitution and Way-of- Life but it had taken
Tony Blair just 10 years to do just THAT while everyone had their minds
they thought on more important matters. Well! in 2007 his predessessor
Gordon Brown is leading you to SLAVERY and only awaits the final
signature of the present holder of the House of Wessex the over 1000
year PROTECTOR of our inherited
RIGHTS and LIBERTIES of
ENGLISHMEN
HER MAJESTY-THE QUEEN
Of the House of Wessex since King Alfred
'the Shepherd and Darling of England' in the annals of 893 -897
'We still leave it to the work of
Alfred the Great
that England was saved to become the first individual nation -state
which over 1100 years later a member of that same House of Wessex has
already signed away much of those ancient Rights and Liberties and
fundamentals of justice and Rule of Law and only awaits a final
signature to enslave her people into a despotic undemocratic godless
police state to call itself a
UNITED STATES OF EUROPE
It is within the power of Her
Majesty the Queen to refuse to ratify the New EU TREATY because whatever
lies her ministers have given her over her long reign the TRUTH is now
clear for ALL TO SEE.
In the Netherlands a number of years
ago their MONARCH resigned for a day rather than sign the Bill put
before him. The New EU TREATY is the death of a NATION STATE of over
1200 years in the making. It is the treasonable actions of HER MINISTERS
which has placed THE QUEEN in the forefront in the protection of the
Rights and Liberties of HER SUBJECTS as on no one else can HER PEOPLE
DEPEND.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

"...we have to make sure
that there are no discussions taking place
in the open air"
Guenter
Burghardt, a former EU ambassador to the US,
warning that details of the new EU
diplomatic service (officially to be known
as the External Action Service) should not
be discussed in public before the
UK
PARLIAMENT
had
ratified the NEW EU TREATY
and Ireland has held
its TREATY REFERENDUM early next summer
(source: EU Observer on 27th
November ,2007
The EU has also stated
that none of its institutions should rock
the boat until the English have ratified
their TREATY.
Over the next few months
you will hear more than ever the wonderful
benefits of the EU. Whether it is Global
warming or whatever they feel shows them in
a good light and when you have swallowed the
bait you will not know what has hit you.
They intend to show how reasonable they are
and that they are there to make you happy.
If you all fall for this con-trick then you
will deserve the SLAVERY that is in store
for
YOU!
