Bureaucratic attempts to stifle Brexit fail again

If you believed the fake news media reports, you would think that the English Democrats’ case to prove that the UK has already left the EU had been thrown out.

So I am delighted to be able to tell you that this simply is not true! Despite the most outrageous attempts to manipulate and pervert the mechanics of the English justice system, our case is still on – and it’s still giving the Europhiles and their corrupt Westminster elite puppets nightmares!

After months of stonewalling our applications, the increasingly politicised ‘system’ suddenly issued a special decision to reject our case as “Totally Without Merit”. This is a category of rejection introduced recently to deal with the genuinely groundless applications of litigants in person in immigration cases in the Administrative Court. To try to use it to dismiss our case is particularly outrageous given the public comment of retired Court of Appeal Judge Sir Richard Aitkin that our case is “strongly arguable”.

This is well above the merely “arguable” threshold that is supposed to guarantee permission to Judicially Review.

Even more sinister, however, is the fact that such a decision automatically gives the applicant a mere seven days in which to appeal – and the ‘coincidence’ that, after months of complete inaction, the legal Powers That Be sent it to my office it slap-bang in the middle of the first two-week holiday I have taken in more than twenty years!

Further, while earlier, less important and less urgent communications were emailed to us, this most important and time-sensitive Order was only posted. On top of that, while it was purportedly sent out on Wednesday 19^thJune – and therefore deemed served on Friday 21^st – in fact it did not arrive on the Friday (when all my post was opened) and so could not be seen until Tuesday 25^th when my assistant next went into the office.

As soon as this attempt to knock out our case on technical/time grounds was spotted, our barrister, Francis Hoar, was alerted.

Despite the short notice, he did a superb job in getting our Revised Application ready for us to issue in time. Indeed, despite the worse efforts of the Europhiles, our Appeal was submitted with a day to spare on 27^th June as Claim No. CO/1322/2019.

All this is a very sad reflection on the state of “justice” in this country which has now become so politicised that we seem to have lost the “Rule of Law” which was the cornerstone of England’s hard won and hard fought ancient Constitution.

We now have a Blairite Judicial Appointments Commission which will only appoint Judges who can “demonstrate a life time’s commitment to Equality and Diversity” and are therefore ideologically only of the multiculturalist Left and therefore almost all Remainers.

Our battle to secure Brexit is thus not only still very much ‘on’, but it is also just part of a much bigger political, legal and moral war to preserve and secure the unique and truly magnificent heritage and identity of our England and of the English who sacrifices made her a beacon to the world, as well as the land we love.

Given the underhand tactics being used by the enemies of England within the legal system and the out-of-touch ‘elite’, I cannot tell you when we will next be in court with our case. I can, however, tell you that our success in overcoming the attempt to knock out our case through subterfuge means brings with it the urgent need to have the funds ready for that most vital moment.

Please do not risk them using more tricks to run us out of time to raise the money we need to carry on this critical legal fight. I am counting on you to see how important it is to give now, so that we have time to replenish our legal ‘war chest’, rather than waiting until the last minute. Preparation and forethought has always been the English way, so I earnestly look forward to your generous action now!

Yours sincerely
