Challenge to The Legality of Speed Cameras

The issue concerns the process by which speed measuring devices that have come into use since July 1992 have been authorised. Since that date, the Secretary of State has no longer been empowered to approve the devices without laying a Statutory Instrument (SI) before both Houses of Parliament in each individual case. This has not been done, meaning that the evidence from these devices is not admissible...

The 646 people who are responsible for all Britain's woes

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered why, if both the Conservative and Labour parties are against national debt, we have a national debt? Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes?

Frustrated by FOI, then try the Audit Commission Act

Martin Rosenbaum tells us that if you want to get really detailed financial documents from your local council, there is a much more powerful tool than the Freedom of Information Act - but blink and you may miss the chance to use it. It's the Audit Commission Act in England, which gives you the right to see the accounts and all the accompanying financial documents for the council's audit. In Scotland...

Geldorf speech in support of Liberty and David Davis

On Friday 4th July, Bob Geldorf made a powerful speech in support of David Davis's Liberty campaign to an audience in Hull Guildhall. The Press have unilaterally ignored it, apart from a few who have acknowledged that Geldorf was there, not one publisher has printed his speech (not that I can find), possibly the most powerful in many years. In order to redress that in some small way, I want to give...

Downing St demo - agents provocateur identified

As an update to Dan's post on the LPUK website earlier about the possibility that a demonstrator attending the recent StWC rally was actually a police agent provocateur, the Socialist Unity website is reporting that 'Gorgeous' George Galloway has today written to the Home Secretary, both identifying the officer in question, and questioning the events on the day:

The Lisbon Treaty Campaign .,.. an Irish Anarchist View

Anyone familiar with Europe has some idea about the Lisbon treaty. This is a typical piece of welfare state protectionism through state enlargement or "federalism". From what I understand the twenty-seven countries (at last count) within the EU are to ratify (bureaucratic speak for forcing unto "their" populations) a treaty which will streamline the integration of police and other forms of interference...

What Darling can do with his wage restraint...

Chancellor Alistair Darling says pay rises for people "from the boardroom to the shopfloor" need to be "consistent" with the 2% inflation target. He told BBC One's Andrew Marr show the need to keep inflation under control "applies to each and every one of us". Ha ha ha ha, you gotta be friggin jokin.

What the EU means to the UK now.

Back in 2004, the Campaign for Truth produced this 40 minute film on what the EU would mean to you and everyone else in the UK if it continued on its path. It is more relevant today than ever before, now that our corrupt politicians have voted through the Lisbon Treaty and broken every constitutional rule in the book. You can view the film here . And for those who wish to endorse the feelings of the...

Former Cuban President Fidel Castro has lashed out at the EU's decision to lift sanctions against his country, calling it "an enormous hypocrisy". The ailing 81-year-old said the measure came just days after the EU passed a "brutal" law that could jail illegal immigrants up to 18 months.
