I have answered you many times. Which of my MANY arguments do you wish me to support with the law of England ?

Just ask me, and I will happily provide you with further examples. I've already done so by pointing you to various forums.

But choose as you please.

Let others stay in ignorance. But please do not exaggerate.

Thank You

To Propose Amendments

* Two-thirds of both houses of Congress vote to propose an amendment, or

* Two-thirds of the state legislatures ask Congress to call a national convention to propose amendments. (This method has never been used.)

To Ratify Amendments

* Three-fourths of the state legislatures approve it, or

* Ratifying conventions in three-fourths of the states approve it. This method has been used only once -- to ratify the 21st Amendment repealing Prohibition.

So Especially is not only ignorant about England and U.K., he's also pretty dim on the subject of the U.S. Constitution.

Let us discuss the issues. Show us one case where the UK courts have accepted that statute does not apply to people who do not consent to it.

Show us that you are not out of your depth by answering this at the 28th time of asking.

You have never answered the question. Provide me with one example where a UK court has upheld your view that statute does not apply to people who do not consent to that law.

This has been asked over 30 times and I am not exaggerating.

I will gladly repeat my answer already given here many times. Can you be more specific ? Since if your question is general the answer will inevitably be general. Are you talking about Council Tax, ten pin bowling licences or the tax on inheritance ? And please don't exaggerate. One minute you've asked me 28 times and the next 30 times. When both are gross exaggerations. Be honest.

Your not reading for comprehension. (S)He can't be anymore specific.

Nice try at a dodge though.

One minute I said that I had asked. the next I said that you had been asked. Do you want me to explain the difference?

As for the tax regime. Take your pick. However I do not want a general answer I want a specific one. I want the case reference. I will then read the case myself.

You are asking a nonsense question.

A Statute has the 'force of law only with the consent of the governed'. It is NOT law.

Don't you even know that ? Where did you get your education from ?

Dear Lothian,

You are confused. Please repeat after me -

1. Statutes are NOT Law.

2. Statutes have the 'force of law only with the CONSENT of the governed'

3. The 'laws' of Parliament are STATUTES.

Do you understand now ? And if you do not understand, please tell us, because I have dozens of times told you similar things here on this thread.

Thank You

Could you provide a reference for this? So far no one has been able to find any evidence that YOUR ASSERTION that a statute requires consent has any resemblance to reality.
You, not being a person of authority nor empowered to speak for any of the governments of the nations under discussion, cannot arbitrarily make such declarations and expect them to be accepted. You must realize that in order to accept your word we need to see some proof that your word has meaning.

ok let me say that I do agree the UK has problems, heres my top three
1. more women than men
2. too close to france
3. beer too expensive

the reasoning
1. there are 30.3 million females compared with 28.9 million males, this means I have to service 1.4 million women and I'm getting worn out (+ i also like men and there aren't enough good ones to go round)
2. the french
3. too much tax (some weeks I have to decide between beer and condoms)

if these three problems were rectified this place would be Eden

I'll play.

Let's talk about the Council Tax. Can you cite an instance where a freeman has successfully withdrawn his/her consent to the Council Tax by appealing to the "Law of England" as you define it, where "successfully" means that a UK court has recognized the freeman's right to do so?

I am not confused. I want you to provide me with the reference of a case which supports your contentions that statutes do not apply to those who do not consent to them.

Lothian,

Read this. If you agree with it please tell me. If you do not it's a waste of time going round and round in circles when you do not even know what law is and what a statute is. Here it is, just for you -

STATUTE

Definition -

''A legislative rule of society given the force of Law by consent of the governed".

This is the commonly used definition of the word 'Statute'. (What are commonly called 'laws' of Parliament'). It raises some questions as most of us live our lives according to the rules of our various statutes and Acts they derive from, and yet in no part of that definiton does it suggest that it is a Law. Rather it is a rule. Aren't rules made to be broken? I would certainly say so; the more rules you break, the more you have to pay to the court!

Rather than finding the precise source, lets discover whether this much used definition is acceptable. So, can this much quoted definition be either disproved and discarded or confirmed and accepted?

First, let’s look at a sourced definition of “statute”.

Statute. An act of the legislature as an organized body. Washington v Dowling, 92 Fla 601, 109 So 588.

The written will of the legislative department, expressed according to the form necessary to constitute it a law of the United States or of the state, and rendered authentic by certain prescribed forms and solemnities.

In a broader sense, inclusive of an act of the legislature, an administrative regulation, or an enactment, from whatever source originating, to which the state gives the force of law. 50 Am J1st Stat § 2. (Ballantines, 3rd edition, Page 1212)

Let’s now use this as our base to work from …

In a broader sense, inclusive of an act of the legislature, an administrative regulation, or an enactment, from whatever source originating, to which the state gives the force of law.

act,n. A thing done or established; a deed or other written instrument evidencing a contract or an obligation. A statute; a bill which has been enacted by the legislature into a law, as distinguished from a bill which is in the form of a law presented to the legislature for enactment. Anne 5 ALR 1422. (Ballantines, 3rd edition, Page 16-17)

legislature. Broadly, any body having legislative power. 49 Am J1st States § 28. (Ballantines, 3rd edition, Page 724)

regulation. Control or direction by restriction or rule of something permitted or suffered to exist. 30 Am J rev ed Intox L § 22. Any rule for the ordering of affairs, public or private, whether by statute, ordinance, or resolution. Kepner v Commonwealth, 40 Pa St 124, 129. Ballantines, 3rd edtion, Page 1081)

state. A body politic or society of men united together for the purpose of promoting their mutual safety and advantage by their combined strength, occupying a definite territory, and politically organized under one government. McLaughlin v Poucher, 127 Conn 441, 17 A2d 767. … a political community of free citizens, occupying a territory of defined boundaries, and organized under a government sanction and limited by a written constitution, and established by the consent of the governed. Coyle v Smith, 221 US 559, 55 L Ed 853, 31 S Ct 688. (Ballantines, 3rd edition, Page 1210)

Summary

An act of the legislature = legislative
An administrative regulation = a rule
The state = a political community, organized under a government, established by the consent of the governed.

In a broader sense, inclusive of an act of the legislature (legislative), an administrative regulation (rule), or an enactment, from whatever source originating, to which the state (political community established by the consent of the governed) gives the force of law.

Connect the dots -

STATUTE

A legislative rule, given the force of law by the political community established by the consent of the governed.

Compare this to -
A legislative rule of society given the force of law by the consent of the governed.

OK ?

I can do even better than that. I can show you the court case documents which show Council Tax being appealed against and withdrawn.

Why not read this typical case ?

Now, ask yourself, what sort of society do you want ? A society which is able to consent or one which cannot ?

That is a link to a bunch of people that don't like council taxes, not a reference that supports anything you've said.

Oh - and a really badly done page, too.

Holy crap that is one hundred percent comedy gold!

Dude paid his council tax and the council withdrew the liability order.

Victoire pour la liberté!

I always comply with the Law. Because, Lothian, the law IS the law. And you should know what the law IS, and what it is not. You have CONSENT. (You are what it's all about. Your own personal sovereignty. Don't throw it away). Get used to it. It may shock you. But it's called 'freedom'. The alternative is NO CONSENT, DICTATORSHIP.

Right ?

So you've never used the magic words to avoid paying tax?

Now, ask yourself, what sort of society do you want ? A society which is able to consent or one which cannot ?
I'd like one where you consented to answer the questions asked instead of the ones in your head.

But according to you statutes are not the Law. Do you pay statutory taxes?

You are so busy avoiding the law that you confuse it with statutes. And you honestly believe you are smarter than the law itself.

Well, great, go ahead. That's your choice.
