[QUOTE="Centre Punch, post: 83395, member: 3048"] Boomer, You hit the nail right on the head, we here in the UK have never been citizens and are subjects to the Crown, thus we have never had a written constitution. This allows the government to do whatever it wants, with the backing of the police and armed forces who swear alligience to the Queen. I'm afraid to say though, that EU alternative is even more frightening. This property grab by the authorities has been going on for many many years here resulting in the suicide of a local farmer. This man was served a compulsary purchase order in the mid 1970s under the town councils future developement project but told that it would not come to force untill the earley 2000s, which he excepted. In 2003 the farmer was evicted from his land and paid £75000, the value of his farm in 1975! The council then proceeded to sell his land for £ 2.1 million to developers. The farmer, now without a home and not enough money to buy a 1 room apartment could not take it and ended his life with a shot gun. The local press said that his suicide was down to depression, i'm not surprised! It was only after the farmers sons came forward with the true storey that it came to light. The council were of course conspicuously absent with any comment. This site now has industrial units and warehousing standing empty waiting for someone to rent them, the council has an extra 2.1 million in the bank and they are still putting up our taxes [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] I always thought your constitution allowed you to protect your home and property even against an overzealous government, from what i have read it seems i am wrong. The quirky term "An Englishmans home is his castle" is a joke, unless you happen to work for the council. Ian "I meant to shoot the pike but the duck got in the way" [/QUOTE]
