The BBC may be being tight-lipped, but then again why would anybody believe what the protesters have to say ?

Considering that it's in this group's interests to paint this picture, then forgive me if I take their claims with a pinch of salt.

It seems very likely to me that this was an organised display of action by one or more of these ''freemen'' groups, and that is why they managed to muster 300-odd for this thinly-veiled publicity stunt.

I highly doubt that people came up from places like Devon, without it being pre-planned that they would cause ''a scene''.

The alleged attempt at a civil arrest on the judge sounds like an extreme form of this ''freeman'' malarkey, because they have no other tactics that work !

Sorry to burst your bubble, and to prove my point - as if proof were needed - but...

Protestors storm Birkenhead county court and attempt to arrest judge

Here you'll see - just as I accurately called it earlier - that the defendant in question was somebody who was questioning the validity of the court's jurisdiction over his case surrounding payment of council tax. ie. he was a self-styled ''freeman''.

His name, apparently, is Roger Hayes.

Now, if you care to google his name ( as I did ) along with the word ''freeman'', then you will see some links regarding this.


As I accurately ''speculated'', this case was an example of this very small ''freeman'' movement ''mobilising troops'' and taking matters to an extreme when their illogical ''legal'' arguments, once again, abysmally failed.

Lets hope we see more of this in the near future. 8-))


No, sorry, this is a bunch of loons who number a couple of thousand, at most, who want to save money by using what they see as a loop-hole in the court system.

Sadly, despite all their bluster and 'secret' videos of courtroom sessions, they have not provided one piece of tangible evidence that their council tax/parking fine/bankruptcy case is not legally enforceable by British magistrate courts.

If you search for the videos of these ''freemen'' in court - and a few have been posted on ATS in the last year - then you'll notice that they ( the defendant ) are not successfully usurping the validity of the court, but, rather, the court is humouring the defendant because he is filibustering, and being obstinate and uncooperative.

The cessation of the court session, in these cases, is in no way because the jurisdiction of the court has been successfully challenged, but because the court adjourned due to a pointless and physically unenforceable situation.

It is worth noting that all of these videos never have a follow-up, and if you dig deeper, then you'll see that the courts usually conduct the case without the unwilling defendant, and send him a bill - to be collected by the bailiffs if he still remains uncooperative - with the original fine still having to be being paid.

There's an outed conman who runs a lot of these internet sites on this supposed 'loop-hole', and he is often held up as some kind of a doyen on the subject.

Clause 61 was removed from all later versions of the charter. Forty years later, after another confrontation between king and barons, the Provisions of Oxford forced on the king a council of twenty four members, 12 selected by the crown, 12 by the barons, which would then elect a king's council of fifteen members; this however was also annulled when Henry III finally won that power struggle.

And with that kind of thinking we should all stay at home and be quiet, let the corporations and government decide what's best for us? Should we stop thinking for ourselves and allow the people at the top of the chain to make decisions that are unquestioned by us meagre folk?


Considering that it's in this group's interests to paint this picture, then forgive me if I take their claims with a pinch of salt.


You're quite forgiven, don't worry I like the opposing argument, wouldn't be a debate if we all agreed.


It seems very likely to me that this was an organised display of action by one or more of these ''freemen'' groups, and that is why they managed to muster 300-odd for this thinly-veiled publicity stunt.


A group, whether you like it or not is growing. A group that is at the very least persuading people to investigate the legitimacy of certain civil laws etc.


I highly doubt that people came up from places like Devon, without it being pre-planned that they would cause ''a scene''.


You doubt they came from Devon, or you doubt it was pre-planned? Not sure which you mean?

Yes. if you'd have checked my first couple of links and listened to the show, you may have been aware of how these people are challenging such rulings which are technically unlwaful. Or at least are in dangerous grey areas, thus showing us, the public that we can be exploited or cheated by the judiciary process.

I don't imagine any one of these protesters to be a Baron, somehow. So not only can't they get their laws right, they're assuming airs & graces to which they're really not entitled.

Good luck to them if the judge is corrupt, I'm not defending corruption by any means. But these protesters, well, to the extent they're using Magna Carta to justify their position, well, they're just fantasists really.

Its the trade unions that are holding the march. With a bit of luck it will be happening all over the UK. So no excuses. I think the students are also going to be there so the police will be on a special notice. Just take care if anyone is going, as from todays actions we know who the police will be backing.
