    I wish the BBC lady would let David talk uninterrupted. It's important history he is explaining and she keeps speaking through it. Is she listening? Her interrupting makes it that I have to keep going back and listening again.

    For Britain nothing can be right or work as it should whilst we are under the supreme dominating power of the EU. We need to be Free.

    David's final thought is perhaps the most important of all. We have gone, as a society, from the tyranny of kings and queens to the tyranny of parliament. MP's and prime ministers today act as if they are divinely appointed by themselves: Appointed by the gods they think they are. It is from this mind set that they develop their arrogance as 'rulers of the people' rather than the more humble, 'servants of the people.' As 'rulers of the people' they believe they have a right to overrule the will of the people. Hence their refusal to give a referendum on the EU. Servants of the people would, of course, bow to the will of the people. They have become petty kings and queens themselves but without any claim to majesty that does not exist within their own heads. In the process they have turned the parliamentary system into an elected dictatorship.

    I would add here (in an edit) that a majority is no longer necessary, in my view, for a prime minister to act out the role of despot; it is possible in a coalition government also, if the leaders of the parties in that coalition are also infected by that tyrannical mindset described above and regarding the referendum on our membership of the EU. That we have three party leaders today who clearly are infected with that tyrannical mindset and two of them have formed the coalition government makes my point, I think.

    They MUST be stopped just as the outrageous and tyrannical King John was stopped. I fear that if UKIP fail in their mission, that they will have to be stopped at the point of a gun, rather than by the ballot box. For me, this is why UKIP's victory over them is so very, very, important for our country and it's freedom.

    So, stop faffing about (if you are) and vote UKIP. That is, if you prefer freedom to political incarceration.

    Any man or woman who `understands` law (common) defeats all statutes and acts unless he or she has committed a crime e.g caused harm or loss to another. Courts operate under Admiralty or Military law, generally civil/roman law. Common law is superior to these,always has and always will be, but extremely hard to assert as your right in the current courts as they are predominantly corrupt.

    All that the governments of the day can do is compile more complex and devious legislation that is designed to entrap you and me into the jurisdictions of their courts. Know and learn their tricks to defeat their statues with common law.

    They can not repeal common law because that would collapse the Judiciary and that would lead to anarchy & civil revolution.

    I just love listening to this Historian, and he has really made me think, the Americans seem to hold Magna Carta at a higher value than we British do as a society and I really hope that changes.

    I think in the spirit of the Magna Carta and the American constitution and bill or rights – we in Great Britian should devise our own constitution and bill of rights.
    My only fear is that it would not safeguard as many rights as the Americans enjoy.

    Magna Carta, slavery under taxation. You can be free, as long as I'm in charge of how much everyone earns. It really wasn't a very good text at all.

    We're not between the two stools of parliamentary sovereignty and the European court.

    The European court has the whip hand over our parliamentary sovereignty. European law literally > English law. Any European law created has to be implemented into our own country and if English laws have any conflict with a new European law, it's the English law that backs down without question and it's the European law that takes place. "No one is above English law" is often stated in law books, till you get to the next page and it says the exact opposite and that is European law is completely above English law and will be till we leave the Eu.
