~ UTOPITARDS AND worshippers of current intellectual fashions cannot ever leave well enough alone. It’s like an addiction.

Now Mother England, the homeland of democracy and constitutional monarchy and liberty within law is being remade in the image of Eutopitard ideals. That inheritance arises from the pre-Roman ways of the old British people; some Roman ingredients; an overlay of Saxon laws and customs; then the battles of king and church and barons hashing out people and laws and rights and legal protections and individual rights and duties. It’s been a 2000 year gift of divine providence and hard work and the battle between different levels of power and the balancing act of crown and peasant and lords– all founded on the faith of Christianity, on the foundations of Greco-Roman law & thought, and Judaeo-Christian roots.

Newfangled R Us

Now, by simple bureaucratic dictat, a big chunk of that heritage– the 1689 Bill of Rights has been repealed, and the law of that land of democracy is now the wicked and witless modern style Equalitarian European Convention on Human Rights.. yes, the EU Human Rights Commission is now rewriting reality for the English and everybody else. Equality– whatever that means– uber alles. Judges to remake laws, and not those pesky legislatures; equalitarian rights-grabbing, not rule by vote, and rights by law.

Though we are told to love rain-forests and protect every little species, and the like, yet radical equalitarians would pave over human nature, clear-cut the long growth of law and liberty over millennia; tamper with precious things, and manhandle these costly riches of civilization like worthless rubbish, as if careless children were given the Crown Jewels as mere toys.
