Under international law, the only effect one Independent State can have upon another Independent State is through the obligation and terms of a bi-lateral Treaty. This principle is embodied in Article 27 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, that states: a “…party may not invoke the provisions of its internal law as justification for its failure to perform a treaty.”

The UK Government draws up on its LEGAL BASIS from Union with Scotland Act 1706 and or the Union with England Act 1707 Article 4 of the Act of Union states: "That all the subjects of the United Kingdom of Great Britain shall from and after the Union………have the same Rights Privileges and Advantages"

However, since devolution the people of England & Scotland, have had different rights, privileges and advantages.

The treaty of union is therefore null and void and England or Scotland can withdraw using the provision of Article 61 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties .

Article 61 Supervening impossibility of performance

A party may invoke the impossibility of performing a treaty as a ground for terminating or withdrawing from it if the impossibility results from the permanent disappearance or destruction of an object indispensable for the execution of the treaty. If the impossibility is temporary, it may be invoked only as a ground for suspending the operation of the treaty.

Who will provide the rolling stock and the locomotives?
Who will provide the signalling, and manufacture the signalling hardware?

"albatross around the neck of British businesses"

2012-01-05T18:38:00.005Z

David Cameron has said that his new year's resolution is to "kill off the health and safety culture for good".

Health and safety legislation has become an "albatross around the neck of British businesses", costing them billions of pounds a year and leaving entrepreneurs in fear of speculative claims, he said. Telegraph

Well Dave, on 12 June 1989 during the last Conservative Government, the first European Union health and safety directive was adopted: Framework Directive 89/391/EEC

EU directives on health and safety at work have their legal foundation in Article 153 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (ex Article 137 TEC), which gives the EU the authority to adopt directives in this field.

The Court of Justice attributes the legal basis for the interpretation of national law in line with European Union law to the general principle of sincere cooperation (Article 4(3) TEU). Under this article, Member States must take all appropriate measures, whether general or particular, to ensure fulfilment of the obligations arising out of the EU Treaty or resulting from action taken by the European Union institutions.

Article 4(3) TEU states:
‘Pursuant to the principle of sincere cooperation, the [European] Union and the Member States shall, in full mutual respect, assist each other in carrying out tasks which flow from the Treaties.The Member States shall take any appropriate measure, general or particular, to ensure fulfilment of the obligations arising out of the Treaties or resulting from the acts of the institutions of the [European] Union.The Member States shall facilitate the achievement of the [European] Union's tasks and refrain from any measure which could jeopardise the attainment of the [European] Union's objectives.’

However, the European Court of Justice has already stated that: imposing a minimum price is incompatible with the current legal framework (Directive 95/59/EC), since the setting of a minimum price by public authorities inevitably has the effect of limiting the freedom of producers and importers to determine their selling price (see also, Case C-302/00 Commission/France) minimum prices are not necessary, since the health objectives may be attained by increased taxation of tobacco products.

That means hosting the Olympic games is a bigger threat to our security than the Taliban being democratically elected in Afghanistan.

2011-12-14T08:05:00.000Z

One day, a yellow scorpion was walking along a river bank, wondering how to get to the other side.

All of a sudden the yellow scorpion saw a toad.

He asked the toad to take him on his back across the river.
The toad said, “No, If I do that, you'll sting me and I will drown.”

The scorpion assured the toad, “If I was to sting you, we would both drown.”

The toad thought about it and finally agreed and the yellow scorpion climbed up on the toads back. The toad began to swim... but.... halfway across the river, the yellow scorpion stung the toad.

As the poison filled his veins, the toad turned to the scorpion and said, “Why did you do that? You know that we will both drown.”

“I couldn't help it,” said the yellow scorpion. “It is my nature.” I am a Liberal Democrat and that's what us Liberal Democrats do.

Initially the LibDem leader Nick Clegg said the Lib/Dems were united with the Tory's in its stance over changes to the European Union Treaties.

Today we learn that Nick Clegg has launched an attack on David Cameron for "isolating" the UK in Europe with his veto against changes to the EU treaty.

No good faith there then!

Just what does that mean?

Lord Pearson of Rannoch asked HMG in a Written Question:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord McNally on 15 November (WA 140), whether the Deputy Prime Minister, Mr Nick Clegg, is eligible to receive a pension from the European Commission; if so, when that pension will become payable; what will be its annual amount; and whether the terms of that pension constrain his actions.

HMG's response was a little odd:

The Deputy Prime Minister is no longer eligible to receive a pension from the European Commission.

Helen Szamuely asks, No longer? What does that mean? Was he at any time and why is he not so any longer?

Follow up letter to my MP

2011-11-21T15:20:00.003Z

Dear Mr Stevenson

Thank you for your letter of 17th November, which was in reply to mine of the 30th October.

Knowing of your Scottish education and your professional background, I can only assume you chose to be deliberately obtuse by referring to the male primogeniture element in our 'Rouge' Prime Ministers speech.

At the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Australia, David Cameron announced the end of male primogeniture in the Royal succession, and of his intention to lift the ban on the Monarch being married to a Roman Catholic.

In your letter you were quite right to point out that the United Kingdom has never had a written constitution binding future legislative process. However, we do have an uncodified constitution, starting with the ENGLISH Parliaments recognition of the Declaration of Right.

So once again I refer you to The Treason Act 1702 (1 Anne stat. 2 c21). (And for the further Security of Her Majesties Person and the Succession of the Crown in the Protestant Line)*

The Declaration of Rights is the property of the People and the Crown, and THIS document stands in its own right as evidence of the Contract made between the People of England and the Crown of England, in the full absence of any parliament.

Once the Agreement had been made between William of Orange and those members of the general public that he had called to meet with him, William could claim a legitimate kingship and could then proceed to summon the lawful Parliament that was needed to restore the kingdom to a full semblance of normality.

It was made clear that all parliaments would be required to maintain the terms of the Settlement that had been agreed upon, and that the penalty for failing to maintain the terms of the Settlement would be the penalty imposed for treason.

The most important job of the first new Parliament was to create a Parliamentary Recognition of the Declaration of Rights - and the complete text of the Declaration of Rights was incorporated into an Act of Parliament that has entered into our history and our Statute Law as The Bill of Rights (December, 1689).

The Bill of Rights now provides the basis for the legality of all Statute Law and re-states the terms under which the Peoples of England; Wales & Northern Ireland have consented to be governed.

Scotland has its own Claim of Right (1689), which provides the basic law under which the People of Scotland have consented to be governed.

The Bill of Rights & The Claim of Right make provisions that are largely the same - and whilst these two documents are recognised to be Statutes of the Realm (and therefore 'Creatures of Parliament' & subject to repeal or amendment by Parliament), it must not be forgotten that the Declaration of Rights itself is NOT a 'Creature of Parliament' and is NOT subject to amendment and/or repeal by any parliament.

They see a baby born into wealth because the kings visiting him have given him gold, frankincense and myrrh. They see a messiah with so much money that he needs an accountant to track his wealth. They see a saviour who wore clothes so expensive that the Roman soldiers who crucified him gambled with each other to own them after his death.

God bless the Bishops of England

Letter to my MP

2011-10-30T18:49:00.002Z

Mr Stevenson

I bring the following to your attention. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/aep/AnnSt2/1/21/section/III

The Treason Act 1702 (1 Anne stat. 2 c21). is an Act of the Parliament of England, passed to enforce the line of succession to the English throne, previously established by the Bill of Rights 1689 and the Act of Settlement 1701.

The Act makes it treason to "endeavour to deprive or hinder any person who shall be the next in succession to the crown ... from succeeding after the decease of her Majesty (whom God long preserve) to the imperial crown of this realm and the dominions and territories thereunto belonging".

Although the Act was passed by the English Parliament, it was later extended to Scotland by the Treason Act 1708, (7 Ann. c. 21) following the Union of the two kingdoms in the previous year. The Parliament of Ireland passed a law to the same effect in 1703, the Treason Act (Ireland) 1703 (c.5). This is still in force in Northern Ireland.

May I now draw the following to your attention.

It is AN OFFENCE at Common Law ("Misprision of Treason" - see Halsbury's Statutes, 4th Edition, Vol. 11, p. 818) for any person who knows that treason is being planned or committed, not to report the same as soon as he can to a Justice of the Peace or in your case the Speaker of the House of Commons.

Land of No hope Tory

2011-10-30T08:03:00.001Z

Land of Hope and Glory
Shafted by MP’s
How can we extoll thee
Brought down to thy knees?

Stabbed by selfish traitors
Bled by venal men
Handed to foreign tyrants
Condemned by stroke of pen

Once we stood proud and mighty
Envy of the world
Reduced to vassal status
Betrayed by cowardly churls

We shall rise again, one day
And on that day, beware
Of lamp posts and strong wire
There’ll be plenty to spare
Your sins you shall pay for
Your guilt shall be proved
We shall have our justice
We shall not be moved.

Six facts from the government's Blue Book

2011-10-29T12:45:00.000Z

The Blue Book from the ONS publishes annual trade figures:

1.Over 80 percent of all UK trade is within our own borders. Yet it is all subject to EU regulations and controls.

2.Over half the rest is between the UK and the EU --

Yet..

3. We import more than we sell to the EU. We have run a permanent trade deficit with the EU ever since we joined, bar one year -- 1975.

4. The Blue Book includes as exports to the EU all exports to other parts of the world which happen to go through the container ports of Rotterdam, in particular, and Antwerp.

5. Thus our alleged "exports" to the EU are grossly distorted upwards and UK exports to the rest of the world are grossly distorted downwards.

6. This distortion has been well known for decades and successive governments have refused to correct what can only be described as a deliberate error.

Government spokesmen and the political classes deliberately deceive and lie to you to keep us locked inside the European Union and they use scare tactics to stop us leaving.

Willy-Nilly Hague has urged Tory MPs not to vote for a referendum on Britain's future in the European Union.

The following is a Comment left by peterooo on Hague article:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/8841364/William-Hague-on-the-EU-membership-vote-We-wont-leave-Europe-but-it-wont-rule-us.html

"On Monday, the House of Commons will vote on a motion for a referendum on whether Britain should remain a member of the European Union."

On Monday, the British political elite will collude in rejecting an attempt by the British people to vote on the merger of Britain with an illegitimate, undemocratic, foreign power called the EU."

"Our policy is very clear: we believe that Britain should be in Europe, not run by Europe. We believe that Europe needs fundamental reform. As a Conservative, I want to bring powers back from Europe, as we set out in our election manifesto. But a referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU, especially at this time of profound economic uncertainty, is not the
answer."

"Our policy is very clear: we believe Britain should be merged with the EU but not merged with the EU. As a Conservative, I want to unmerge Britain from that which it is my intent to merge it with. Giving the British people a democratic vote on EU merger is an answer I reject - especially at this time of profound economic chaos... caused by our attempt at EU merger."

"The eurozone crisis is the epicentre of global economic difficulties. Monetary union without greater fiscal integration has not worked. But the countries of the eurozone are our closest neighbours; more than 40 per cent of our trade is with them. Nothing would do more to help our economic recovery than a resolution of the eurozone’s difficulties, while its disorderly break-up would have a very serious impact on our economy."

"The EU merger is at the epicentre of global economic collapse. Partial-merger has not worked. Britain cannot have real trading partnerships with Europe - where each country retains its political independence. Nothing would do more help to our dire economic situation than pursuing Britain's merger with the mess that has caused it in the first place."

"But despite these many burdens and nuisances, the EU brings advantages that are enjoyed daily by people and businesses across the country and that are important for our prosperity: nearly untrammelled free trade across 27 countries, enforceable legal rights to work in all those nations, and combined clout in trade talks to open new markets for our goods and services."

"But despite the impossibility of EU merger (and the inevitability of the war it will cause), merging Britain with the EU brings many advantages to people across the country - we can trade in exactly the same way as we could as an independent sovereign state."

"The ability to lead European countries to a united position, as with sanctions on Iran and Syria... directive 2009/147/EC prevents the slaughter of our garden birds as they migrate over the Mediterranean"

"A merged EU will be able to bully far-flung tinpot countries in the same way it does the peoples in its own territory... and it can save sparrows too!"

"A decade ago, many thought that we could settle our position on Europe as “thus far and no further”. That is no longer adequate. There may be debates about means and timing, but the Conservative Party is united around the goal of bringing powers back from Brussels to Britain. That is what we stand for, that is our aim now and that is what we will campaign for in futur elections."

"A decade ago I thought we should stop the merger of Britain with the EU. That is no longer adequate for my sense of self importance. The Conservative Party is now united in fobbing off voters with empty guarantees to unmerge the country from the EU mechanism it is intent on merging Britain with. That deceit is what the modern Conservative Party stands for, EU merger is our aim and we will not let a small obstacle like the British electorate get in our way."

School Reunions

2011-09-22T19:47:00.003Z

Why some people don't attend school reunions . . .

Jan, Sue and Mary haven't seen each other since secondary school. They rediscover each other via a reunion website and arrange to meet for lunch in a wine bar.

Jan arrives first, wearing beige Versace. She orders a bottle of Pinot Grigio.

Sue arrives shortly afterward, in gray Chanel. After the required ritualised kisses she joins Jan in a glass of wine.

Then Mary walks in, wearing a faded old tee-shirt, blue jeans and boots. She too shares the wine.

Jan explains that after leaving school and graduating from Newnham College Cambridge, she met and married Timothy, with whom she has a beautiful daughter. Timothy practices law for Schillings, they live in a 4000 sq ft apartment in Dockside, where Susan, the daughter, attends drama school. They have a second home in Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire.

Sue relates that after leaving school, she graduated from St Hilda's College, Oxford and became a surgeon. Her husband, Clive, is a leading City investment banker. They live in Surbiton and have a second home in Naples.

Mary explains that she left school at 17 and ran off with her boyfriend, Jim. They run a tropical bird park in the outskirts of Luton and grow their own vegetables. Jim can stand five parrots, side by side, on his dick.

Halfway down the third bottle of wine and several hours later, Jan blurts out that her husband is really an accountant at Asda. They live in a small flat in Whitchapple and have a caravan parked at Hoo St Werburgh.

Sue, chastened and encouraged by her old friend's honesty, explains that she and Clive are both nurses' aides in a retirement home. They live in Guilford and take camping holidays in Bognor Regis.

Mary says that the fifth parrot has to stand on one leg.

2011-09-18T09:51:00.004Z

This is new initiative to be published here every sunday, it has been inspired by the first progress report from the Prime Minister’s “behavioural insight team”, better known as its 'Nudge Unit'

The 'Nudge Unit' is the group of eight civil servants whose job it is to come up with ways of helping us make better choices – without forcing us to do so.

My first Tumbrel is for Chris Huhne

Read about why in the Mail on Sunday

“The stealth levies, introduced to fund Britain’s investment in wind and solar power, are costing families an average of £200 a year – two-thirds of the amount the Cabinet Minister said they should be able to save. This represents an increase of between 15 and 20 per cent on the average domestic power bill. The money is being used to help fund the building of 10,000 wind turbines and the proposed installation of £7 billion worth of smart meters in homes.”

Lest these fuckers forget

2011-08-13T10:02:00.004Z

The words "Lest We Forget" are from the Kipling poem "Recessional" . The phrase offers a warning about the perils of hubris

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Bill Bratton, the former New York police chief, said many young people, especially gang members, had been “emboldened” by over-cautious policing tactics and lenient sentencing policies.

To be effective, a police force should have “a lot of arrows in the quiver,” said Mr Bratton, advocating a doctrine of “escalating force” where weapons including rubber bullets, Tasers, pepper spray and water cannon were all available to commanders.

Well, Mr Bratton we are not quite living in the Wild West Side.

"Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the police; the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent upon every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence".

The above is the 7th of the 9 Peelian principles

The basic mission for which the police exist is to prevent crime and disorder.

The ability of the police to perform their duties is dependent upon the public approval of police actions.

Police must secure the willing co-operation of the public in voluntary observation of the law to be able to secure and maintain the respect of the public.

The degree of co-operation of the public that can be secured diminishes proportionately to the necessity of the use of physical force.

Police seek and preserve public favour not by catering to public opinion, but by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to the law.

Police use physical force to the extent necessary to secure observance of the law or to restore order only when the exercise of persuasion, advice, and warning is found to be insufficient.

Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the police; the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent upon every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.

Police should always direct their action strictly towards their functions, and never appear to usurp the powers of the judiciary.

The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with it.

Recessional

If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe—
Such boastings as the Gentiles use,
Or lesser breeds without the Law—
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!

"What is arithmetic?"

2011-08-12T06:00:00.000Z

Read the following--published in the Australian-- it all adds up

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/british-rioters-the-spawn-of-a-bankrupt-ruling-elite/story-e6frg6zo-1226112640970

British rioters the spawn of a bankrupt ruling elite.

THE riots in London and elsewhere in Britain are a backhanded tribute to the long-term intellectual torpor, moral cowardice, incompetence and careerist opportunism of the British political and intellectual class.

They have somehow managed not to notice what has long been apparent to anyone who has taken a short walk with his eyes open down any frequented British street: that a considerable proportion of the country's young population (a proportion that is declining) is ugly, aggressive, vicious, badly educated, uncouth and criminally inclined.

Unfortunately, while it is totally lacking in self-respect, it is full of self-esteem: that is to say, it believes itself entitled to a high standard of living, and other things, without any effort on its own part.

Consider for a moment the following: although youth unemployment in Britain is very high, that is to say about 20 per cent of those aged under 25, the country has had to import young foreign labour for a long time, even for unskilled work in the service sector.

The reasons for this seeming paradox are obvious to anyone who knows young Britons as I do.

No sensible employer in a service industry would choose a young Briton if he could have a young Pole; the young Pole is not only likely to have a good work ethic and refined manners, he is likely to be able to add up and -- most humiliating of all -- to speak better English than the Briton, at least if by that we mean the standard variety of the language. He may not be more fluent but his English will be more correct and his accent easier to understand.

This is not an exaggeration. After compulsory education (or perhaps I should say intermittent attendance at school) up to the age of 16 costing $80,000 a head, about one-quarter of British children cannot read with facility or do simple arithmetic. It makes you proud to be a British taxpayer.

I think I can say with a fair degree of certainty, from my experience as a doctor in one of the areas in which a police station has just been burned down, that half of those rioting would reply to the question, "Can you do arithmetic?" by answering, "What is arithmetic?"

British youth leads the Western world in almost all aspects of social pathology, from teenage pregnancy to drug taking, from drunkenness to violent criminality. There is no form of bad behaviour that our version of the welfare state has not sought out and subsidised.

British children are much likelier to have a television in their bedroom than a father living at home. One-third of them never eat a meal at a table with another member of their household -- family is not the word for the social arrangements of the people in the areas from which the rioters mainly come. They are therefore radically unsocialised and deeply egotistical, viewing relations with other human beings in the same way as Lenin: Who whom, who does what to whom. By the time they grow up, they are destined not only for unemployment but unemployability.

For young women in much of Britain, dependence does not mean dependence on the government: that, for them, is independence. Dependence means any kind of reliance on the men who have impregnated them who, of course, regard their own subventions from the state as pocket money, to be supplemented by a little light trafficking. (According to his brother, Mark Duggan, the man whose death at the hands of the probably incompetent police allegedly sparked the riots, "was involved in things", which things being delicately left to the imagination of his interlocutor.)

Relatively poor as the rioting sector of society is, it nevertheless possesses all the electronic equipment necessary for the prosecution of the main business of life; that is to say, entertainment by popular culture. And what a culture British popular culture is!

Perhaps Amy Winehouse was its finest flower and its truest representative in her militant and ideological vulgarity, her stupid taste, her vile personal conduct and preposterous self-pity.

Her sordid life was a long bath in vomitus, literal and metaphorical, for which the exercise of her very minor talent was no excuse or explanation. Yet not a peep of dissent from our intelllectual class was heard after her near canonisation after her death, that class having long had the backbone of a mollusc.

Criminality is scarcely repressed any more in Britain. The last lord chief justice but two thought that burglary was a minor offence, not worthy of imprisonment, and the next chief justice agreed with him.

By the age of 12, an ordinary slum-dweller has learned he has nothing to fear from the law and the only people to fear are those who are stronger or more ruthless than he.

Punishments are derisory; the police are simultaneously bullying but ineffectual and incompetent, increasingly dressed in paraphernalia that makes them look more like the occupiers of Afghanistan than the force imagined by Robert Peel. The people who most fear our police are the innocent.

Of course, none of this reduces the personal responsibility of the rioters. But the riots are a manifestation of a society in full decomposition, of a people with neither leaders nor followers but composed only of egotists.
