"No authority stands higher than empathy and the right to life. Justice extends beyond humanity; in the right to peace, every life finds its voice. Those entrusted to guard justice, peace and democracy must honour their mission, for only in doing so will they be honoured in return."

The Bill of Rights 1689:

Freedom of Speech in Common Law
and the Human Rights Act 1998

This fundamental document guarantees the right of citizens to petition the monarch. As British citizens, we are exercising this constitutional right in calling upon Your Majesty to address the concerns outlined in this declaration.The Bill of Rights affirms that subjects “may freely petition the king,”
establishing our leggrounds for raising grievances directly to the Crown.

The Representation of the People                                         
Act 1983 (Section 3):

This act underscores that government is by the consent of the governed. It is our right to hold the government accountable when it no longer represents the majority or prioritizes external agendas over the welfare of British citizens. This law supports our call for fresh elections under revised regulations to ensure genuine democratic representation.

Freedom of speech in the UK is deeply rooted in English common law, which has long protected the right to express opinions and impart information freely. This protection is crucial for maintaining democratic accountability, enabling citizens to petition the government without fear of reprisal.  Our human rights and freedom of speech are safeguarded by our common law traditions. This is mirrored in Article 10 of the Human Rights Act 1998, which claims to guarantee the right to freedom of expression. The Human Rights Act 1998 merely echoes what has been guaranteed by English common law for centuries, but is increasingly ineffective as new, oppressive statutes and regulations are created. This demonstrates that our fundamental freedoms do not rely on state-granted laws but we need a return to the longstanding principles inherent in English common law

The Magna Carta 1215 (Clause 61)

Historically, this clause provided the right for subjects to seek redress when the sovereign or government failed in its duty to the people. Although specific clauses of the Magna Carta have been superseded by modern law, it remains a cornerstone of British constitutional tradition, reinforcing the principle that citizens have the right to seek redress when the government no longer upholds its responsibilities.

The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998

While typically applied to whistleblowing in organizations, this act upholds the importance of transparency and accountability in public bodies. It supports the principle that citizens have the right to raise concerns regarding government actions and financial mismanagement, as we do in this declaration.
