Some interesting facts about the EU below.
1. The Queen has signed 6 of the 7 EU Treaties.
2. The 6 treaties define and build the EU as an unelected dictatorship.
3. The EU's laws give it the powers of a police state.
4. The 7th EU treaty will complete the abolition of Britain as a nation
- the Queen could sign it in as little as two years.
Shouldn't we repeal the 1972 European Communities Act now before we are imprisoned inside?
5. Thirty four years inside the EU - have you noticed how our democracy is being withdrawn?
The EU has denied us that most basic of human rights - the right to vote against the EU and to keep our own nation.
A majority of us don't want to be in the EU. We are being forced in against our will.
Do you feel you've become powerless, or your vote is worth less? The six treaties are removing our democracy
and harmonising our laws with the EU; 70% of Parliament's new laws are the EU's, not ours. Isn't the real reason
people have lost interest in politics precisely because the EU has taken away our ability to change things?
Common law, where government was our servant, is now largely replaced by the EU's Corpus Juris, where the
government is the ruler, we are the ruled, and don't participate. We have lost most of our rights (including habeas
corpus). The power of government grows unchecked. Yet politicians lie about the EU, pretending its not significant.
6. Massive EU corruption
The EU's auditors have found the fraud is so widespread they've refused to sign the EU's accounts for ten years.
Whistleblowers like Marta Andreason, the EU Budget Director, who in 2005 found the EU couldn't account for 95%
of its £66 billion budget, are simply fired for telling the truth.
7. The bribing of our Politicians by the EU
Europe works by bribing politicians with huge salaries and expenses to vote for Europe, against the best interests of
their voters. So Labour, Conservatives and the Lib Dems are all in favour of the EU - a Westminster one party state.
8. EU corruption is exploding in our Civil Service, local government, and 7,000+ quangos.
Common Purpose is the glue that enables fraud to be committed across government departments, most of it lining
the pockets of politicians and bureaucrats. It often involves the sale of public assets such as land to friends of
politicians or their businesses. The CEO of Common Purpose is Julia Middleton of the ODPM.
9. Businesses closing under EU regulation
The EU's 111,000 regulations will close hundreds of thousands more businesses when fully enforced, and control
our private lives more closely than those of Soviet citizens. (In a Parliamentary answer to Lord Stoddart in January
2003, the government said there were 101,811 EU regulations, growing at 3,500 pa.)
10. The EU costs us £200 billion pa, 20% of our economy
According to the government's Better Regulation Task Force, complying with EU regulations now costs our economy
over £100 billion a year. Economists say we lose £80 billion pa by associating with the EU's inferior economies. The
EU took our fishing industry, which costs us £5 billion pa. EU damage to other industries a further £20 billion. Our
EU contribution is £10 billion. Taxes have doubled in real terms since we've been in the EU, leaving little money left
for a growing underclass struggling to make ends meet.
11. Our counties to be abolished
The Queen signed the 1992 Maastricht Treaty, which adopts the EU Regionalisation Plan. This will abolish
England's 48 counties and replace them with 9 European regions, each with their own Regional Capital, which
reports directly to Brussels, not to Westminster. This effectively eliminates the country of England.
12. The EU's dispossession of the English.
The 1997 Amsterdam Treaty gave the EU control of our immigration; they've increased it ten fold, overcrowding
our cities and putting millions on minimum wage. With the seventh treaty abolishing our nation, then our counties,
the EU ruling us from Brussels with the laws of a police state, and the English already at the bottom of every
government, legal and politically correct queue, we will literally have no place we call home.

On Thursday 21st July, Brick Court Chambers hosted a panel discussion to consider the implications of Brexit for the UK constitution. Chaired by Clive Coleman, key issues under consideration included whether the referendum result was legally binding, the operation of Article 50 and the implications of Brexit for the UK and its devolved parliaments.
Lord Falconer of Thornton opened by observing that although the referendum result was only advisory as a matter of law, it was an effective instruction to the Government to start negotiating a British withdrawal from the EU. When the terms on which the UK would leave the EU become clear, the Government must decide whether further democratic endorsement of the UK’s position is required. The similarity between the terms obtained and the key aspects of the referendum debate (principally access to the single market, controlling immigration and ending EU budget contributions) should inform the Government’s decision in this regard.
Dominic Grieve QC MP commented that the referendum result is a manifestation of a very severe breakdown in trust between the electorate and the political institutions. It will be a huge domestic challenge for the new Prime Minister to heal this division. On the European level, Mr Grieve QC suggested that the smooth running of Article 50 envisaged by its drafters is unlikely to happen in practice. He did, however, consider that the EU would not want the UK to leave in chaotic conditions on the expiry of the specified two year negotiating period.
Professor Derrick Wyatt QC discussed the UK’s withdrawal negotiations with the EU. Suggesting that accountability and transparency must be ensured, he proposed oversight by both the House of Commons and House of Lords. He also stressed that wide consultation is necessary to shape the UK’s position in the negotiations. Such steps would help to gain important cross-party support for the position reached.
Professor Jo Shaw raised some of the issues faced by Scotland and Northern Ireland on the UK’s exit from the EU. In respect of Northern Ireland, she suggested that the real issue may not be secession but rather the reunification of Ireland. Northern Ireland trades a great deal with the Republic of Ireland, and also has concerns about cross-border policing and the European Arrest Warrant. Turning to Scotland, Professor Shaw noted the discussion of a ‘reverse Greenland’ situation, in which the UK would remain an EU Member State but the territorial scope of the EU treaties would be restricted. She also suggested that the situation in Cyprus could prove instructive.
Finally, Richard Gordon QC considered what the UK’s next steps might and should be. Separating prediction from principle, he suggested that political and constitutional considerations will trump legal arguments. Further, the ultimate political need for the referendum result to be implemented will take precedence over any strict constitutional requirement for Parliament to trigger the Article 50 procedure. In his view, Parliament cannot guarantee what politics must deliver.
A lively Q&A session followed the presentations. Topics raised included the revocability of an Article 50 notice, the extent to which the Sewell Convention and Good Friday Agreement are obstacles to Brexit, the practical problems faced by the UK in negotiating a new relationship with Europe and the extent to which the UK can rely on EU trade agreements that it has independently ratified.

Some clarification on EVEL (and thanks to Anagzable for pointing this out.) As often happens with Constitutional Reform, we have something that it is half of one thing and half of another that really does little to solve matters or please anyone. Essentially, there is an extra stage introduced that is open only to MPs from England and Wales. This really does precious little but allow MPs to kill the bill at that point, but of course because most bills are introduced by gov't and the gov't enjoys a majority then it is hard to see exactly what this really achieves. The bill then returns to the whole house where it will go through the usual stages. So, yes, we have an extra EVEL stage but that is about it and Scottish MPs will still have a say in legislation that doesn't affect them.

Prior to the 2015 general election, the Conservative Party undertook in its manifesto to repeal the Human Rights Act 1998 and to enact a British Bill of Rights. In this video, Mark Elliott addresses three key questions raised by these proposals:
First, what lies behind the desire of some politicians to secure the Human Rights Act’s repeal? Second, how might a British Bill of Rights differ from the present legislation? And, third, what constitutional obstacles might lie in the way of the implementation of these reforms?
In relation to the last of those three issues, the argument is developed that although the UK Parliament has the legal power to legislate for the proposed changes, the increasingly multi-layered nature of the British constitution limits Parliament’s capacity to exploit its sovereign legislative authority. In particular, the constraining effects of international law - in the form of the European Convention on Human Rights - and the devolved nature of the modern British constitution are likely to limit the UK Government’s room for manoeuvre. As a result, it is likely to be difficult to deliver upon the manifesto commitments that were made in a legally coherent and constitutionally legitimate manner.
Dr Mark Elliott is a Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of St Catharine's College. His main research interests are in the fields of constitutional and administrative law. Dr Elliott's recent publications include Elliott and Thomas, Public Law (2nd ed OUP 2014); Elliott, Beatson, Matthews and Elliott's Administrative Law: Text and Materials (OUP 2011, 4th edition); and Forsyth, Elliott, Jhaveri, Scully-Hill and Ramsden (eds), Effective Judicial Review: A Cornerstone of Good Governance (OUP 2010). Dr Elliott was the 2011 Legal Research Foundation Visiting Scholar at The University of Auckland, New Zealand. In 2010, he was awarded a University of Cambridge Pilkington Prize for excellence in University teaching. He writes a blog - http://publiclawforeveryone.com/ - which includes information for people applying, or thinking of applying, to study Law at university.

In which John Green teaches you about the United States Constitution. During and after the American Revolutionary War, the government of the new country operated under the Articles of Confederation. While these Articles got the young nation through its war with England, they weren't of much use when it came to running a country. So, the founding fathers decided try their hand at nation-building, and they created the Constitution of the United States, which you may remember as the one that says We The People at the top. John will tell you how the convention came together, some of the compromises that had to be made to pass this thing, and why it's very lucky that the framers installed a somewhat reasonable process for making changes to the thing. You'll learn about Shays' Rebellion, the Federalist Papers, the elite vs rabble dynamic of the houses of congress, and start to find out just what an anti-federalist is.

In theory, the Legislative Branch, the Executive Branch, and the Judicial Brach are designed to keep each other in check, and to keep any branch from becoming too powerful. In reality, the system was designed to keep the president from becoming some kind of autocrat. For the most part, it has worked. Craig will call in the clones to explain which powers belong to which branches, and to reveal some secret perks that the Supreme Court justices enjoy.

Every state in the world has a constitution, written or unwritten. But what is a constitution essentially? In the course, we provide the answer to this question and many more like it, all of them amalgamated in the study of what we call public or constitutional law. This course, therefore, will teach you public law and with it, will help you form a deep understanding and an informed interpretation of aspects such as the United Kingdom’s constitution from a legal standpoint. We start with the basics—the kind of constitution the UK has, which institution mainly has legislative authority, the structure of its government and the three main organs of the state: the sovereign Parliament, the executive together with the Crown and the independent judiciary. The role of the European Union and the devolved assemblies in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in this entire equation, is also considered together with our roles as citizens.

Dr Mark Elliott discusses the Belmarsh Prison case (http://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKHL/2004/56.html) - more formally known as A v Secretary of State for the Home Department - which was decided in 2004 by the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords (the forerunner of today's United Kingdom Supreme Court).
This final video considers the effect of the judgment of the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords in the Belmarsh Prison case. The Law Lords concluded that the right to liberty remained effective and that the powers to detain foreign terror suspects under Part 4 of the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2001/24/part/4/enacted) breached that right. The Law Lords therefore issued a "declaration of incompatibility" under section 4 of the Human Rights Act 1998 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1998/42/contents). Although that did not require Parliament to repeal (i.e. get rid of) the incompatible legislation, Parliament did in fact repeal it. It did so partly because the House of Lords' judgment had placed Parliament under political pressure to bring UK law into line with the rights recognized in the ECHR, and partly because there was the possibility of litigation in the European Court of Human Rights that might ultimately have compelled the UK, under international law, to amend British law. This highlights the fact that that understanding UK public law involves grappling with the relationships between national and international law, and between law and politics.
