Welcome to this web site that has been designed to bring an understanding of English history and the influence this has played in developing the substance of our British Constitution. The contents are objective and factual with references given where quotations are used. Care has been taken to sift through history books and documents where the content can be considered truly authoritative.

Many historians tend to embellish facts with fictional detail to create an interesting story but our British Constitution will not tolerate such inaccuracy or imagination. It is difficult at times for anyone new to the British Constitution and unfamiliar with the detail to grasp the importance that this permanent marble pillar has played in the structure of our mansion of civilisation. Few politicians or public servants today seem to understand or indeed are aware of the significance of the Oaths of Allegiance that are sworn by our foremost citizens comprising our Queen, our Peers, our MP’s, our Judges and even our Councillors form part of the carefully woven cocoon that protects the very core of our British Constitution. This cocoon embraces our Sovereign, the Church of England, our Parliament and a compact with us, the citizens of Britain to protect our rights liberties and freedoms under the British Rule of Law. This compact is our precious British Birthright.

Today a globalised environment has created an atmosphere of confusion and concern amongst the British people. Our economy is in danger of disintegrating in front of our very eyes. The basic principles of life itself that have formed the bedrock of our society for centuries are being exploited and damaged only to be replaced with uncertainty and fear. At the heart of this uncertainty lies a group of committed republicans engaged in a most dangerous social experiment who are rewriting the text of our history. The Great British Commoner, the Earl of Chatham (William Pitt), in a momentous speech to the House of Lords in support of the British Constitution that had been breached by King George III using the Royal Prerogative in 1766, likened our annals of historical milestones to a political Holy Bible of Parliament forming the natural bedrock of our society. Alas, the noble Earl would be turning in his grave were he to witness the constitutional turmoil and political crises that exist today.

From the Constitution flows our Rule of Law supported by an independent judiciary obliged to interpret impartially our Parliamentary Acts and Statutes and sift out important precedents. It is not for judges to impose personal interpretations but to adhere to the bedrock of Constitutional law like a limpet and distil out the fundamental meaning and spirit of any contentious documents.  Lord Denning  is the greatest recent example of a person who welded his judgements to the demands of the British Constitution and recognised the duty he had to champion it. Not only did he have a wonderful knowledge of case law, history and our customs and practices that are the foundations of our common law but he was always willing to cut down anything that conflicted with or threatened the British Constitution. Sir Winston Churchill was another Great Briton who was assiduous in championing our Constitution in every detail in his parliamentary life. In a trice everything is changing under a welter of new legislation and criminal laws designed to regulate and arrange our lives in what amounts to a social experiment without historical precedent. Our great democracy is being rent asunder by minority political interests with what can only be described as alien agendas.

The Iraq war is a notable example of how an Attorney General failed to fulfil the rigid necessity of observing the demands of the Constitution and left doubt and uncertainty in peoples’ minds that something was amiss. Even the Prime Minister himself was caught floundering in the choppy seas that await those who stray from the certainty of our Constitution and who are prepared to embellish what should be objective proof of the law and certainty with mind bending sophistry and deceit. Only those with an intimate knowledge of our history and culture are able to appreciate the unwritten science that bonds everything together to ensure that above all else our precious individual freedoms are protected.

The British Constitution often resides unconsciously in the soul of the British People who instinctively know when something is wrong. Perhaps a “law” may be particularly unjust and oppressive such as the use of road speed cameras when they are perceived to be purely for revenue raising purposes. Here the British Constitution is at hand to help and the Bill of Rights contains therein a decree “That all grants and promises of fines and forfeitures of particular persons before conviction are illegal and void”. So how does the arbitrary use of speed cameras and the issue of penalty notices and licence endorsements that arrive like confetti from “authorities” who are not part of any traditional legal framework fit in? Clearly it does not. British citizens are aware of a sinister criminalization process creeping into their daily lives that has been designed by privileged political classes resident in Westminster and Brussels who are endowing the executive with intrusive powers with frightening implications .

Taxation is another big issue which often arouses strong emotions. Here again the Bill of Rights makes it clear that double taxation on an item is unlawful. So how about VAT on petrol tax ? Again the Government is flouting the British Constitution that in this case applies to an item that never existed in 1689!
