UK Column News - 14th August 2024
👍13👏2
In a number of recent UK Column News programmes, excerpts have been taken from Christopher Story's 2002 book, The European Union Collective. Here is a particularly interesting excerpt on the sovereignty of the UK's head of state. Quite a bit of text, but the last sentence makes it worth reading.
👇
"In November 2000 - after a correspondent who had taken care to prepare his case thoroughly, had written to the Prime Minister, Tony Blair; to the then Leader of the Opposition, William Hague; to the Leader of the House of Lords, who was then Baroness Jay; and to the Lord Chief Justice and other official office-holders and dignitaries - asking: 'Is Her Majesty the Queen Sovereign?', he received either no answer at all, or else a non-committal, weak, diversionary reply. Mr Blair, being unable to answer the question himself, redirected the enquiry to the Home Office, which likewise prevaricated. Indeed, a hallmark of the Blair Government has been its Ministers' arrogant reluctance to answer letters and parliamentary questions. Likewise, Mr Blair has reportedly made a point, on occasion, of 'standing the Queen up' by failing to turn up on time, or at all, for his weekly scheduled audiences.
The position under English law, of course, is that Her Majesty remains Sovereign until the moment of her death, when sovereignty will pass automat- ically to the next rightful heir to the British Throne. However, the Prime Minister's problem appears to be that since, under Article 17 of the Maastricht Treaty, the Queen is a 'citizen' of the European Union, her Sovereignty has been usurped. Those UK Ministers and officials who permitted this scan- dalous state of affairs to develop are accordingly prima facie traitors and ought to be indicted for treason. But so far as President Herzog of Germany has been concerned, his status as a 'citizen' of the EU Collective appears to be entirely acceptable, because the EU is just a 'mask' for emerging 'Greater Germany'.
When, following the correspondent's letters to selected leaders, an attempt was made by Christopher Gill MP in January 2001 to put down a question asking the Prime Minister whether Her Majesty is Sovereign, the Table Office at the House of Commons replied in the following astonishing language: 'Last night you sought to table a question to the Prime Minister concerning the effect of the UK's membership of the European Union on the constitutional position of Her Majesty the Queen. You will recall that I explained I would need to check the admissibility of the question with other colleagues before it could be tabled. It has been pointed out to me that the question as drafted in effect seeks the Prime Minister's view on the interpretation of the law, in this case the Treaties of the European Communities and associated European treaties and UK legislation. It is not possible to table questions to Ministers seeking interpretation of the law, as this is a matter for the appropriate courts, not Ministers'.
It would accordingly appear to be unclear whether Her Majesty the Queen is Sovereign - and, by extension, whether any legislation passed by the Westminster Parliament since Britain made the mistake of joining the European Communities in 1972, is valid. For evidently until the matter is decided by 'the appropriate courts', the question of whether Her Majesty is Sovereign and thus able to act as Head of State and hence give the Royal Assent to legislation passed by the Westminster Parliament, remains up in the air. This Kafkaesque situation reflects the fact that, as noted, under the Collective Treaty, all residents of the European Union are its citizens; and the Queen is a resident of the European Union. Therefore, if EU law has precedence over British law, the Queen, being an EU citizen, is not Sovereign. Welcome to a classic example of the fundamentally demented chaos that is bound to result from all revolutionary experiments in political collectivisation."

I had forgotten how racist air could be.
This "study" forms part of the ULEZ book-cooking exercise.
When it comes to research, you really do get what you pay for.

"UK households are being urged to prepare for potential power cuts due to forecasted thunder and lightning storms by stockpiling five essential items before Thursday (August 15)."
Sounds about right, and if everyone who plays along is really lucky, the Government might toss in an Emergency Alert, just so people know what to think.

The vandalism of this wall amounts to criminal damage; there is absolutely no doubt about that.
Here we see another propagandist-in-chief, Justin Welby, straying over the line, as far as the Serious Crime Act 2007 is concerned.
Section 45
Encouraging or assisting an offence believing it will be committed:
A person commits an offence if—
(a) he does an act capable of encouraging or assisting the commission of an offence; and
(b) he believes—
(i) that the offence will be committed; and
(ii) that his act will encourage or assist its commission.
An endless stream of hypocrisy.
From an early participant: "At an online briefing a few days before the intended start, the organisers showed us an artist’s impression of the wall, and told us that, because we didn’t have permission, we would be committing criminal damage and could face a fine or prison. Despite this, I don’t think anyone decided to duck out."

Alistair Williams gave a great UK Column interview, covering comedy, coercion, censorship and Christianity. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Laughter in an ugly world with Alistair Williams
Alistair Williams tells Charles Malet about seeing behind the curtain of the comedy scene, in which performers are manipulated by coercion, and how he came out the other side, with his reputation and his faith intact.

Occasionally, and only very occasionally, things don't go exactly to plan. Time travel, though, was unexpected.

Rebecca Hilsenrath has reportedly told The Telegraph that "There is an argument I have heard that clapping for the NHS during the pandemic was quite a dangerous thing to do … because no organisation can be a national religion, and no organisation should be beyond constructive criticism.”
Hilsenrath joins a very long line of stooges who have made blindingly obvious points, four and a half years late.
She has been giving evidence to the "Independent investigation of NHS performance".
Chairing the "investigation" is Lord Darzi, so it will be in no way "independent". A refresher of the flavour of his fibre is seen in this piece in The Times from 2022.

A reminder that this sort of nonsense is absolutely nothing to do with me. Also, I do not send personal messages to subscribers to this channel, asking idiotic questions about money, or about how much you like the channel.
Given that quite a lot of people have arrived here recently, it seems worth pointing out. Charles

Following the untimely and incredibly coincidental deaths of Mike Lynch and Stephen Chamberlain (among others, sadly), it appears that there will be considerable scrutiny of their past and present projects.
Johnny Vedmore wrote this in 2020, and I think it is one of a number of good places to start:
"These very companies appear to be selling a defence against a potential apocalypse that they themselves may be responsible for. They have the solutions to everyone’s cyber-woes, or at least that’s the image they wish to portray. Let me introduce you to the most dangerous intelligence operations masquerading as cybersecurity companies on planet Earth."

The BBC this morning ran a protracted feature about a lady in a wheelchair who experienced "discrimination" at Heathrow Airport.
Firstly, I am not sure anyone gets through Heathrow without being victimised in some manner. Secondly, it made me wonder whether this was still funny:

For the first time since 2021, festival-goers acknowledge that being injected with toxins of an unknown nature may not be such a good idea, after all. It appears the NHS have changed their modus operandi a little, though:
"My daughter had a brilliant time on the festival site but the campsite was not monitored properly. I have also spoken to another mum who says her son woke up screaming in his tent after being stabbed with a needle and was 'like a zombie afterwards'."
