In what is being called the new "Battle for Britain" to restore Britain's freedom and sovereign independence, a group of concerned people including Roy Faiers, Editor of This England magazine, Norris McWhirter CBE, actor Edward Fox, John Gouriet, John Bingley and Geoff Southall, are launching a campaign to force a Judicial Review which will examine and pronounce upon the legality of Britain's membership of the European Union.

The group has been researching British Constitutional law for several years and believes that successive governments of this, the world's oldest democracy, have exceeded their parliamentary powers, laid down in ancient Statute documents, such as Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, and the Coronation Act -- all still in force today.

As a result, they believe that British membership of the EU is constitutionally illegal.

They maintain that the electorate chooses the incoming administration to govern on their behalf within the constraints of the Constitution. Parliament does not, in their view, have the right to transfer its authority and responsibilities to an unaccountable and unremovable foreign power, and thereby disenfranchise the electorate, and surrender national sovereignty.

They intend therefore to challenge the Government's legal powers to surrender Britain's sovereignty and self-governance, by pressing for Judicial Review in the highest courts in the land.

They are asking the judiciary to declare the law, and Parliament to uphold the law on all issues at home and abroad, in accordance with the Constitution.

A powerful legal team has been assembled, led by Leolin Price CBE QC, to carry the case forward, but in order to launch proceedings within the next few weeks they are asking for money...
