Magna Carta, Bill of Rights, Habeas Corpus
The final vestiges of true democracy and freedom disappeared last night, ending 800 years of liberty in England.
Clause 29 of Magna Carta says that no freeman shall be taken or imprisoned or have his liberties removed but by lawful judgment of his peers. Detention for 42 days without trial essentially abrogates this clause and removes 800 years of a basic civil liberty: the right to due process.
The 42 days proposal makes it legal to hold someone without proving their crime so habeas corpus is gone.
A disasterous day for democracy. Dirty deals, compensation payments, Irish water rates - this is how cheap it is to buy off certain MPs.
Hopefully the Lords will have rather more moral fortitude and will stand by the rights of the people in this country.
And hopefully we can remove these snivelling cunts from power at the earliest opportunity.
