Thank
God we elected a Monarch
By
William Rees-Mogg
(Independent Peer)
Daily Mail
Sunday, April 3, 2005.
*
…I am glad to be an Independent peer; I do not have a
party and do not have a vote. Of
course, I always support my children wherever they may be standing. None of the above criticisms applies at this
Election to the admirable Conservative candidate for Aberavon. But she shall
remain anonymous.
It
is not the least of the merits of a hereditary Monarchy that the Queen, and the
other senior members of the Royal Family, are above the fray.
The
Monarchy would not have lasted for well over a thousand years if the Monarch
had been involved in the General Election every four years and been forced to
use stale and mendacious arguments to discredit some alternative line.
In
the 18th century, the House of Hanover did have to defeat the House
of Stuart on two occasions, 1715 and 1745.
Even those dates are 30 years apart.
No Stuart rebellion has been attempted since. That is just as well as they were a very unfortunate family.
Constitutional
Monarchy is one of the great English discoveries. It separates the struggle for power from the ultimate authority.
The
Monarch has no power, decides nothing except the choice of her Ladies- in
-Waiting, the membership of the Garter and Order of Merit, the seating at State
banquets and which statesman to call to office if the General Election produces
a tie.
When
I come to think of it, that might be a good outcome, with 207 MP’s for Labour,
207 Conservatives, 207 Liberal Democrats, 25 others and the Speaker. The Queen would have some arithmetic to perform; that will not
happen, though it would correspond more closely to voters’ real preferences
than any result we are likely to get.
Arguably it might also produce a better government.
It
is sometimes said, particularly by Scottish patriots that in English theory
sovereignty belongs to the Monarch, but in Scotland, as in the United States,
to the people.
I
do not know for sure about Scottish constitutional theory. I do know that as recently as 1689 - the day
before yesterday by standards of our national history -William and Mary were
crowned King and Queen of England at Westminster before they had heard
whether they were also to be King and Queen of Scotland.
Until 1707 and the Act of Union, the
parliamentary process was separate and different for both kingdoms.
Most
of us think of England as having a purely hereditary Monarchy, but England does
not.
Our constitutional Monarchy is itself
elective and therefore democratic.
The
Queen sits on her throne by virtue of an Act of Parliament, the Act of
Settlement 1701.
That is her title deed to the Crown. It was passed, like any other Act of
Parliament, by both Houses.
According
to the historian Bishop Burnet, Sir John Bowles ‘who was then disordered in his
senses and soon after quite lost them’, was put up to propose Sophia, the
Electress Dowager of Brunswick, and her heirs as the line that would eventually
follow Queen Anne. That was carried in
Committee of the House of Commons; the Act went through the Lords with only
four dissenters and Sophia’s son eventually became George I.
The
history goes back much further than that.
In 1399, King Richard II was forced to abdicate in favour of his cousin,
King Henry IV, who was John of Gaunt’s eldest son. Parliament, sitting in Westminster Hall, then elected Henry as
King. He was our first elected Monarch.
[Since
that of King Alfred - Alfred the Great in 871.
Many would say one of the greatest Kings of the English.]
In 1571, Queen Elisabeth’s Parliament resolved that it
alone had the right to determine the succession, and that it would be high
treason for anyone to question Parliament’s right.
In
1642, Parliament fought and won the Civil War to determine the issue of
ultimate power. In 1660, Parliament
invited King Charles II to return.
Britain
does have a hereditary Monarchy but it is established by parliamentary
votes. Parliaments have made the
Monarchy the keystone to our democratic constitution.
The Act of Settlement itself could be amended, or
on theory, repealed by a further Act of Parliament. There is no head of steam for republicanism, but amendment is now
probable. Even in this General
Election, Michael Howard has proposed that the Act’s bar on Roman Catholics
should be removed. It is, I suspect,
already unenforceable.
[Like
almost anything in what is left of our Constitution - the Rock has been chipped
away at for the past 32 years]
If Prince William wanted to marry a Roman Catholic, which
he does not, it would be politically impossible to keep him from the throne on
those grounds. [We expect the existence of Human
Rights Act will be invoked.]
Prince
Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry now come first in the line of
succession; if they were to fail, there would be a strong movement to put the
Princess Royal next in line rather than her younger brothers. Parliament does not believe in gender
discrimination, nor does the Human Rights Act. Fortunately this is a
very remote possibility.
The
Monarchy contributes six key virtues to our Constitution. These are:
Impartiality,
Duty,
Personality,
Authority,
Unity
And Permanence.
he idea of a national authority which is personal
humanises the inevitable bureaucracy of the State. Few of us would watch a Christmas broadcast by the Department
for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
However
high-minded they are, politicians can never be genuinely impartial, as
impartial journalists who become politicians have repeatedly found. There is a choice of loyalties to be
made.
No
political leader has permanence however powerful or imposing he may seem at the
time - I doubt whether Tony Blair, Michael Howard or Charles Kennedy will be
leading their parties into the General Election after this one.
Politicians are mayflies, creatures for the day.
The
Crown is for centuries.[?]
The
Monarch exchanges power, which belongs to the Prime Minister with a majority in
the House of Commons, for permanence and authority. Their two functions are quite different. For my part, I feel like
saying:
‘God bless our politicians; thank God for the Queen.’
[We would say most sincerely:
‘God help our politicians; thank God for the Queen.

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Optout
Details from petition creator
With the signing of the Maastricht Treaty the
people of Britain were given
DUAL CITIZENSHIP
-both
EUROPEAN and BRITISH
The extra tier of citizenship was thrust upon
the people without their consent -and in many cases knowledge.
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.
EU laws will also NOT APPLY to those who
HAVE OPTED OUT OF EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP

IF WE DESTROY OUR
RIGHT OF FREEDOM TO FIGHT A WAR ON
TERROR-WHO WINS?
(John Mortimer)
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 sold 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 predecessor 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

'Don't tell the voters-or you

"...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!
