The Rt. Hon Mr. Geoffrey Cox, QC MP,
Attorney General,
5-8 The Sanctuary,
Westminster, London SW1P 3JS
Dear Sir,
We represent several thousand members of The List –Brexit, who form part of the 17.4
million electorate, which voted Leave in the 2016 EU Referendum.
There is now a lack of trust in the present Judiciary due to their intrusion into matters
of a political nature; very little, if any, trust and confidence remains in Parliament. Also
a lack of trust in the media who, it would appear, present more their views than
reporting on the news.
Therefore, because of the nature of special and unprecedented circumstances, we feel,
in the first instance, that it would be correct procedure to write to you.
We wish to draw your attention to the criminal offences we consider have been
committed by the following persons, in the following manner, under “The Felony Act
1848 Section 3 and 8.”
1. We believe that certain MPs, named below, have conspired to communicate abroad
with the European Union and to produce a Bill (“Benn Bill”) which would place
constraints on the Government and its Minister to the detriment of the United
Kingdom by inhibiting their task of leaving the EU in accordance with the mandate
from the Electorate given to them, which was to Leave the EU entirely.
We believe an offence under the Felony Act 1848 Section 3 has been committed for
the following reasons. The act states “if any person whatsoever shall within the
United Kingdom or without compass, imagine, invent devise or intend to deprive or
depose our Most Gracious Lady the Queen…. in order by constraint to compel her to
change her measures or counsels.”
2-
The new proposed ‘Benn Bill’ and actions of MPs has the effect of usurping the
function of the Executive, is contrary to the doctrine of the Separation of Powers,
unconstitutional, and ultra vires.
These are the people who we believe have so conspired.
Sir Oliver Letwin MP, Hilary Benn MP, Alistair Burt MP, Philip Hammond MP, David
Gauke MP, Dominic Grieve MP, Caroline Lucas MP, Yvette Cooper MP, Tom Brake MP.
Stephen Gethins MP, Stephen Kinnock MP, Justine Greening MP, Jonathan Edwards
MP, Joan Ryan MP, Stephen Doughty MP, Nick Boles MP, Philip Lee MP, Anna Soubry
MP, Sam Gyimah MP, Mr. K. Starmer, Mr. Tony Blair.
2. Mr. Jeremy Corbyn, MP, Leader of the Opposition
Mr Jeremy Corbyn’s recent comments in the media, his letter to MPs, his symbolic
gathering at Church House calling for a ‘People’s Parliament’, threats of taking over
the democratically elected Executive and installing a ‘caretaker government’ have
amounted to, and would qualify as, ‘open and advised speaking’ under Section 3 of
The Felony Act 1848. (Solicitor General’s comments refer). Since that time, several
MPs have now supported a Bill to thwart the will of the Electorate and prevent Brexit
from happening. “As in the old story, the trumpeter, who sounded the charge and
encouraged others to the battle, met with the same fate; so those guilty of
encouraging in others the spirit of sedition ought not to pass safety through the
world.” (Hansard’s Parliamentary Debates, Crown & Government, Security Bill, Third
Series, 1848 April 10 pg 101).
He is also accused under “If any person whatsoever shall, within the United Kingdom
or without, compass, imagine, invent, devise, or intend to deprive or depose our
Most Gracious Lady the Queen, from the style, honour, or royal name of the imperial
crown of the United Kingdom, within any part of the United Kingdom, in order by
force or constraint to compel her to change her measures or counsels” by seconding a
bill in 1991, of which he still believes today, wherein it stated “The monarchy would be
abolished and the constitutional status of the crown ended; The Church of England
would be disestablished”.
3. Ms. Jo Swinson, MP – Leader of the Liberal Democrats
Ms. Swinson an offence under Section 3 of the Felony Act 1848 “If any person
whatsoever shall, within the United Kingdom or without,…..by constraint to compel
her to change her measures or counsels… and such compassing, imaginations,
inventions, devices, or intentions, or any of them, shall express, utter, or declare, by
publishing any printing or writing . . . . . . F3 or by any overt act or deed, every person
so offending shall be guilty of felony, and being convicted thereof shall be liable”
3-
Recorded publicly as saying “should examine how to seize control of Commons
business, oust Mr Johnson and install an emergency government of national unity".
Ms. Swinson also said “the new Prime Minister does not hold a mandate from
Parliament” and that Mr. Johnson should be ‘brought down’. This is untrue.
A mandate has been endorsed by a significant majority in the House of Commons
when approving the implementation of Article 50 and in the Conservative Party
manifesto at the 2017 election (as well as the Labour Party Manifesto). In 2016, 17.4
million people gave their mandate in answer to the Referendum question do you want
to Leave or Remain in the EU? They said Leave. The mandate granted by the
Electorate is superior to the Sovereignty of Parliament.
4. Lloyd Russell-Moyle, MP, Labour Party
We accuse Lloyd Russell-Moyle, MP by saying publicly ““We need a mass movement
of resistance, with marches, civil disobedience and protests in every village, town
and city of this country.” of ‘open and advised speaking’ so as to cause force or
constraint “If any person whatsoever shall, within the United Kingdom or without,
compass, imagine, invent, devise, or intend to deprive or depose our Most Gracious
Lady the Queen, in order by force or constraint to compel her to change her measures
or counsels and such compassing, imaginations, inventions, devices, or intentions, or
any of them, shall express, utter, or declare, by publishing any printing or writing . . .
. . or by any overt act or deed, every person so offending shall be guilty of felony” at
the very least, he is guilty of offence under the Public Order Act Section 1 Part 4A.
5. Kate Osamor, MP, Labour Party
We accuse Kate Osamor, MP of an indictable offence under Section 3 of the Felony Act
1848 “If any person whatsoever shall, within the United Kingdom or without,
compass, imagine, invent, devise, or intend to deprive or depose our Most Gracious
Lady the Queen, from the style, honour, or royal name of the imperial crown of the
United Kingdom… within any part of the United Kingdom, in order by force or
constraint to compel her to change her measures or counsels.. shall express, utter, or
declare, by publishing any printing or writing” by publicly announcing by the way of
the image below, and threatening, that Her Majesty should look at what happened to
her cousin and that the Monarchy should be abolished, at the very least, punishable
under Section 4 of the Public Order Act 1986 for use of threatening and abusive
behaviour in writing.
4-
The Act – which makes it a criminal offence, punishable by life imprisonment, to
advocate abolition of the monarchy in print, even by peaceful means.
6. Best for Britain
The trading name of UK-EU Open Policy Ltd which is, in part, funded by foreign
billionaire, George Soros. Mr. Soros, a well- known non-British billionaire, has stated
that he wants the United Kingdom to remain in the European Union and funds many
British based organisations.
5-
We accuse Best for Britain under the Felony Act 1848 for threatening and abusive
behaviour towards the Monarch publicly. Under Section 8 of the Felony Act 1848 “In
the case of every felony punishable under this Act, every principal in the second
degree and every accessory before the fact shall be punishable in the same manner
as the principal in the first degree is by this Act punishable; and every accessory after
the fact to any such felony shall on conviction be liable to be imprisoned, . . . . . . F7
for any term not exceeding two years” by publicly announcing their backing for 50
MPs to assert themselves on the democratically elected Executive and public monetary
crowdfunding to help Mr. J. Corbyn, MP in his call for a ‘People’s Parliament.’
7. Mr John McDonnell, MP
We accuse Mr. J. McDonnell under the Felony Act 1848 “If any person whatsoever
shall, within the United Kingdom or without, compass, imagine, invent, devise, or
intend to deprive or depose our Most Gracious Lady the Queen, from the style,
honour, or royal name of the imperial crown of the United Kingdom, in order by force
or constraint to compel her to change her measures or counsels, or in order to put
any force or constraint upon or in order to intimidate …and such compassing,
imaginations, inventions, devices, or intentions, or any of them, shall express, utter,
or declare, by publishing any printing or writing”
Publicly demanding and uttering “The Labour Leader will turn up at the gates of
Buckingham Palace to demand he is made prime minister if Boris Johnson loses a
confidence vote in the Commons. Labour will tell the Queen, We’re taking over”.
Stating he would “like to go back in time and assassinate Margaret Thatcher.”
In June, 2017 Calls for million protesters to take to the streets to oust Theresa May
“Labour needed every union mobilised and for people to get out on the streets”
Responding to comments in the Telegraph paper said “Don’t expect that change [to
society] coming from parliament … we have an elected dictatorship, so I think we
have a democratic right to use whatever means to bring this government down.
Publicly supported actions of rioters who attacked the Conservative HQ in 2010 as ‘the
best of our movement’
Due to the actions, they have all encouraged aggressive, offensive and threatening
behaviour by other people, just one example recently :-
Terry Christian tweeted “No Deal brexit will cause shortage of flu vaccine. Should
have 2 queues at Doctors one for brexit one for remain. Brexit queue gets told they
dont need vaccines as they were put together by experts they should just believe
harder. Only remainers get vaccinated. It's win win”
6-
The following person we accuse of treason under the Felony Act 1848 and also for
breach against our uncodified Constitution.
When alteration to the Constitution involves the transferring of the rights of citizens,
and such a serious issue as the Sovereignty of the U.K., to a foreign entity, it is
submitted that this required the direct assent of the electorate by a referendum or
similar.
Whilst this Constitution has been ‘amended’ by Parliament over the years, this is
acceptable, in that it is ‘internal’ and the Constitution continues ‘as amended’, but to
transfer the Sovereignty or parts thereof to a foreign entity is of a different nature;
that is ‘external.’ The ‘Factortame’ case confirmed that EU law was held supreme over
our Parliamentary law, bearing in mind the doctrine of Parliamentary sovereignty.
So it begs the question, is it not the EU who presently hold Parliamentary
Sovereignty over the UK or has Parliamentary Sovereignty been effectively dissolved
and now rests solely with the people?
A Declaration from the People in this regard has been drawn up and is now on our web
site where citizens of the United Kingdom can sign. (A copy is enclosed – you can view
the names on our web site here https://thelist-brexit.com/sign-the-declaration/).
Sir John Major
Accordingly, we believe that Sir John Major should be indicted under the Felony Act
1848 as well as a breach of the Constitution with regards to the Bill or Rights.
In 1993, John Major signed the ‘Maastricht Treaty; which not only changed to the
European Union but made all the British people, including the Queen, citizens of the
EU with obligations to the Union. In accordance with British constitutional convention,
specifically that of parliamentary sovereignty, ratification in the UK was not subject to
approval by referendum. This may be so in relation to ‘internal’ affairs of the country
but not to ‘externally’ passing our sovereignty to a foreign entity, which is both illegal
and unconstitutional and in breach of the Bill of Rights as well as an offence under the
Felony Act 1848.
Even in 1993, The House of Lords debated whether the Maastricht Treaty on European
Union should be put to a referendum, with some members arguing the people had a
right to vote on the controversial plan. Lord Robert Blake said 'I believe there is a
strong moral case for a referendum on Maastricht in all the circumstances.' 'This is a
golden chance to show that the (politicians) are in favor of the people.'
7-
Without the Consent of the Electorate, our sovereignty was passed externally to a
foreign entity, which is both illegal, unconstitutional, in breach of the Bill of Rights, and
an indictment under the Felony Act 1848.
Mr. Tony Blair
Accordingly, we believe that Mr. Tony Blair should be indicted under the Felony Act
1848 as well as in breach of the Constitution.
In 1999, the ‘Treaty of Amsterdam’ and the 2001 ‘Treaty of Nice’ were signed by Tony
Blair creating the Europol secret police and Corpus Juris (European law) to replace our
common law. Tony Blair, by signing this Treaty, agreed to devolve certain powers
from the national government to the European Union. It included legislation on
immigration, civil and criminal law, and enacting foreign and security policy, to
maintain in full acquis communautair and build on it. The ‘Treaty of Nice’ provided for
the creation of subsidiary courts, European Court of Justice and Court of the First
Instance with special areas of law, as well as increasing presidential powers to the
President and enlargement of the European Union. “All member states are bound to
comply with the acquis communautaire because EU law has primacy over national
law.” (European Union).
Without the Consent of the Electorate, our sovereignty was passed externally to a
foreign entity, which is both illegal, unconstitutional, in breach of the Bill of Rights, and
an indictment under the Felony Act 1848.
Our ‘membership’ of the EU has never therefore been constitutionally lawful
Mr. Gordon Brown
Accordingly, we believe that Mr. Gordon Brown should be indicted under the Felony
Act 1848 as well as in breach of the Constitution.
In 2007, Gordon Brown signed ‘The Lisbon Treaty’. This treaty was mainly described as
an amending treaty but had originally meant to form the European Constitution.
Fifty-five articles of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union enshrine
certain political, social, and economic rights into EU law. In the rejected ‘Treaty
establishing a Constitution for Europe’ the charter was integrated as a part of the
treaty itself. In the Lisbon Treaty, however, the charter is incorporated by reference
and given legal status without forming part of the treaties. With the signing of the
Treaty of Lisbon on 17 December 2007 and its entry into force on 1 December 2009
the Constitutional Treaty was, in parts, integrated into EU law. Mr. Brown had at the
time, faced widespread revolt and threat of legal action, after forcing the Treaty into
law without a promised Referendum.
8-
This, too, was transferring powers and sovereignty to a foreign entity, externally, for
which he had no consent from the electorate, is both illegal, unconstitutional and in
breach of the Bill of Rights and an indictment under the Felony Act 1848
The People give their Sovereignty to Parliament for a period of time through elections.
They DO NOT give their Sovereignty to Parliament for them to then hand it to
someone else.
This Breach was, in the circumstances, tantamount to treason.
May I also draw your attention to the fact we are still under EU Law and as such, under
“European Commission for Democracy through Law” (Venice Commission) it states
‘the people have the right to accurate establishment of the result by the body
responsible for organising the referendum’
‘It is not for Parliament to change or deter the course of the result’;
‘the authorities must respect the people’s decision’.
‘Parliament must not abuse their position’.
‘the principle of the rule of law, which is one of the three pillars of the Council
of Europe along with democracy and human rights, applies to referendums just
as it does to every other area.’
Accordingly, under EU law not only is our democracy being thwarted, but what has
been against our human rights. On 24th of this month, we celebrate the creation of the
United Nations wherein it is stated under ‘Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
Article 21 (3) “The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of
government.”
The People give their Sovereignty to Parliament for a period of time through elections.
They DO NOT give their Sovereignty to Parliament for them to then hand it to
someone else.
May I add, the Courts seem to now be deciding on political matters, and would suggest
that the Supreme Court should tread very carefully. Under Separation of Powers,
courts are there to interpret the laws, not make or change them.
This gives rise to very important constitutional and legal issues, similar in magnitude to
a state of war.
9-
I apologise for the length of my letter, but it was unavoidable.
Would you please kindly confirm that the Government are prepared to take
proceedings against the people mentioned, who have committed these offences, in
due course.
Yours faithfully,
Helen Davies
