Fixing England's Shame.
Most of those who refused to vote in support of the finding that Johnson repeatedly lied to Parliament (thus corrupting the bedrock of our democracy and hacking consent) yesterday supported, wholeheartedly, the unlawful suspension of Parliament.
They viciously attacked (or agreed with the vicious attacks) by extreme Brexiteers on the Supreme Court for so ruling.
Now, when the person they made king has been found out (for what many of us wrote years ago would happen if they enthroned Johnson) they refuse to support the judgement of the committee of their peers which found against the toddler ex-king of England.
The "institutionally corrupt, racist, and misogynistic" Police focus on pro-Independence political parties, while ignoring electoral crimes that have directly led to:
🎈Empty supermarket shelves,
🎈£1t wasted on Brexit; and
🎈Covid Herd Immunity fiasco which cost 200,000 lives unnecessarily, and seeded Alpha (and Delta) Covid variants that killed millions across the entire world.
Remedying this shambles requires understanding:
🔴 Who personally is responsible for this concatenation of catastrophes (clue: it's not Small Boat People or Trans, or Brussels,...), - and holding them accountable in the courts.
⚪️ Which governance problems continue to entrench these catastrophic aggregating and multiplicative issues (FPTP, unelected legislators, poisoning of our water, and our information space,...);
⚫️ The role of Brexit and Anti-Immigrant Disinfolklore in promoting the poisonous public discourse that justifies four unelected prime ministers in as many years;
🔵 That establishing an independent English Republic with proportional representation and a mix of the best European governance practices and institutions is the ONLY solution to the Gormes afflicting the island of Britain.
Y Cymry word "Gormes" describes what afflicts a monarchy after its leaders lie.
The solution to England's Brexit Gormes is two-fold:
First, it involves Dragons, and advice from the French.
Second, a "king" inaugurated in the proper manner 👇🏽.
Original "Britons" the Pritenni, became the Y Cymry /"Welsh" 🏴after the Germanic / Saxon infiltrations of the island of Britain. "England" grew out of East Anglia, and its wealth from the wool trade. Sheep-led England's birth, Brexit, and the Gormes which afflict it now. The solution is here:
English identity after independence - 🧵
Loved living in East Anglia, where the idea of "England" was first forged.
Since England grew out from the riches of East Anglian wool wealth, it's apt that the sheep-like following of Brexit will lead again to English independence.
Muscovy & England have a lot in common.
Each overreached: Muscovy into Ukraine, & England out the 🇪🇺.
All failed identity-forging projects (Brexitism & Anti-Satanism) are unhappy in different ways.
English identity was rebranded as "Britishness."
"Britishness" is as transitory an identity as Czechoslovak, Yugoslav or Russianness.
In 1992 Czechoslovak public servants chose between the two new States.
Wales, Scotland & Ireland have histories of statehood & culture more deeply entrenched than England.
What is now colloquially known as the "British Constitution" is substantively the "English Constitution." Contrary to popular belief, it is all down in writing. So we know when "constitutional conventions that have the force of law" are breached. Alas, the past three unelected English governments have had no interest in enforcing the constitution.
⚡️Problem With English "Parliamentary Sovereignty"?
It's a myth. Note the word "commonly" in this disinformation from UCL.
In England, as Cambridge trained constitutional lawyers like me are taught, "Parliament is Supreme" but it is NOT "Sovereign." Here's why this matters.
There's only one sovereign in England, according to its constitution: the Monarch.
England's Parliament can only legislate when the mace is in place. That mace represents the Sovereign in Parliament. Parliament is not "Sovereign" without it.
In September 2019 an unelected English prime minister ordered the suspension of Parliament using what's called "the Royal Prerogative."
This particular exercise of Royal Prerogative power was deemed unlawful by the Supreme Court. Royal Prerogative powers are NOT subject to Parliament. Parliament is NOT Sovereign. The Sovereign's Royal Prerogative powers are formally outside its jurisdiction. That's why Royal Prerogative powers are called colloquially "Henry VIII powers."
Parliament itself had voted several times against the unelected English government's proposal to exit the European Union without a treaty. The unelected Prime Minister, exercising the sovereign's power, suspended Parliament. Unelected prime minister let it be known Parliament would be reconvened after England had fallen out of the European Union. Great wheeze!
If Parliament was sovereign, Parliament would have had the legal power to prevent its suspension by an unelected Prime Minister exercising the power of the Sovereign (Royal Prerogative power, which is not subject to the authority of Parliament).
However, because there is only one Sovereign in England, an unelected Prime Minister exercising that sovereign's "Royal Prerogative" was able to usurp Parliament, and suspend it (using a formal mechanism of the Privy Council, which ordered the Sovereign to suspend Parliament).
The Supreme Court correctly and predictably ruled that the exercise of the Sovereign's power, since the Magna Carta, is not absolute.
So the unelected Prime Minister, exercising the Monarch's Royal Prerogative, had the power to suspend Parliament. Yet, they could not suspend Parliament for so long that, contrary to Parliament's express wish not to leave the European Union without a treaty, England would leave, by default, the European Union without a treaty.
Summary: England's prime ministers, whether elected or not, exercise two kinds of power: Royal Prerogative power and powers that are subject to Parliament.
England's unelected government exercised its Royal Prerogative power to suspend, unlawfully as the Supreme Court found, Parliament.
Because Parliament is NOT sovereign, there was absolutely nothing within its power it could do to prevent being so suspended.
In a Republic the Mana ("Mona" of Monarch) in the thing (Res or Parliament) inheres in the public. In England the Mana ("Mona" of Monarch) inheres in the Monarch, not the Thing (Saxon word for Parliamentary assembly) (see powerofmana.net).
Rather than accept the Supreme Court's judgment, England's, then unelected, government, its current unelected government, as well as Truss's unelected government, set out to alter composition of the Supreme Court.
They haven't yet succeeded in this, but don't discount that they will succeed.
So while you're watching the costume drama of inaugurations and investing all your hopes that somehow the Sovereign or Parliament will save you from this or that tyranny...
Remember the 2019 coup, and how it was all just a bit Too Complicated for you to notice it had even happened.
Foreign-owned media (Times, Mail, FT,, etc.) all went along with this. And shoddy constitutional lawyers like those at UCL promoting this "Parliament is Sovereign" troll did nothing to prevent it.
4.4% interest on THE securest form of UK debt is an ominous sign. If governments wasn't already trying to keep inflation in check - caused by its £1t post-Brexit splurge (see below) that included the inflationary printing of ~ £400b to counteract the impact of Brexit on the economy - a 4.4% interest rate is an ominous sign.
My forecast of an IMF Bailout for the UK is still on course. Truss will get blamed. But everyone who supported Brexit is to blame, and Sunak was finance minister during this £1t splurge.
Let's contextualise lower gilt yields and inflation.
Since Brexit government has printed £360b, which has been used to buy government-issued gilts. The printing of that dough has inflationary effects, and it has reduced the solvency of the English economy.
Brexit has cost the UK £1t funds under management;
£246b in extra borrowing;
£20b in Central Bank’s purchase of corporate bonds;
£360b has been printed since Brexit.
Botched going-for-herd immunity to Covid's cost is at least £370b.
Tory Party-connected individuals got £10b in Covid PPE contracts for PPE that mostly was never used (see t.co/TurecNxbAs for references).
Keir Starmer. English independence. Irish unification. IMF bailout. Welsh liberation. Scotland back in the EU. Constitutional and governance reforms to ensure what's happened to and in England since 2015 can never happen again.
