I did not see a smiley on the OP. Here. Let me add one.



Dr. Gordon Freeman?
Point Number 2 is even worse. The 'laws' made by the British Parliament in Westminster are NOT laws. They are Acts of Parliament. Statutes. And this is very important. These 'Acts of Parliament' are NOT the Law. They are in fact Statutes. They require your CONSENT before they are valid against you. In fact, the Law of this nation is the Common Law of England and politicians here do NOT make the laws. Our laws (as said) are the Common Law of England, and they always have been throughout our long history).
Traffic police here genuinely believe they have the power to arrest people if they do not give their name and address on request. But that 'law' is only a Statute. It is contrary to the actual Law.
Large tax bills are routinely sent out by local government offices for public services. But these too are not supported by the laws of England. They too are only Statutes. Once again, the people believe these bills are 'laws of England'. In fact, they are not valid unless we accept them. Unless we consent to them.
...... is how to avoid paying for things. The one common factor about all FOTLers. They are leeches.

With the waning 9/11 conspiracy movement and the rising NWO conspiracy movement, FOTL is gaining a lot of popularity these days (at least in my neck of the woods).

There is a fair amount of evidence that they exist.Quote:

For an anti EU thread it is ironic that you choose to introduce yourself with a line stolen from the Eurovision song contest.My first major thread here. Greetings from London, England !
Last I heard the Cross of St. George was generally accepted as the "English Flag", as the Saltire is the flag of Scotland. The Union Jack is the mongrel UK version.
I simply feel the need to pop in here and point out every single time I see the phrase "FOTL woo" my mind interprets it as "faster than light woo", and for a brief instant I wonder why they're bringing cosmology into a discussion of government.
Anyway, back to the show.

I'm not really sure which flag he's talking about anyway. Last time I looked, most village churches in England were flying the St. George's Cross all the time, and everybody and his mate has their houses and cars bedecked with the thing whenever England get within sniffing distance of any international football final. The Last Night of the Proms usually has quite a few on display too.
I will gladly sell to anyone who has $25 (american) a Constitution of England.
BTW In answer to one of Espicially more "interesting" points, hasn't taking an Oath to the Monarch been a requirement for taking a seat in Parliament since the Middle Ages in England?????? Why is it so sinister now?
