                                 JOHN HURST

                                              



John Hurst is a strange person.  Either he is a bit dim, or he is deliberately misleading people like the rest of them.  He claims that the Magna Carta gives us the right to withdraw our consent to be governed – but it does no such thing.  His contribution to the Untruth Movement seems to be based on the actions of a group of barons.


In the year 2000 Ashley Mote (who was a member of the European Parliament at the time) got together a group of twenty-five barons.  In February of 2001 the barons signed a petition and then four of them went to Buckingham Palace in order to present it to the Queen.  (This was in accordance with Chapter 61 of the Magna Carta 1215.) The barons were not allowed to present the petition in person.  It was handed in to a member of staff who later gave it to the Queen.



The petition was about the Treaty of Nice.  It reminded the Queen of her Coronation Oath.  She was asked not to allow the Royal Assent to be given to any parliamentary bill which attempted to ratify the treaty. As a result of the petition the Royal Assent was delayed, but eventually the treaty was ratified.  So, the barons did not get their way.



However, although the barons request was disregarded they did not enter into a rebellion at the time and nor have they, or any other group of barons, started a rebellion since then.  If the barons had started a rebellion the purpose of it would have been to harass the monarch, and keep up the harassment until the monarch had granted their requests.  (In this instance the Queen would have had to make sure that the Act which ratified the treaty was repealed.)  There is no rebellion going on lawful or otherwise.



Chapter 61 states that the community of the whole land may join the barons' rebellion if they give an oath of allegiance to the barons and agree to obey their commands.  So, the rebellion is one in which the barons are in control at all times.  If the barons have not commanded, the people may not act.  Chapter 61 does not state that the people may do things on their own initiative.  It does not give people the right to decide which laws they will abide by and which they will ignore.  When the rebellion (if there is one) is over the people are required to switch their allegiance from the barons back to the monarch.
