this still seems like a steal;
1.
'baby sports designer wear during the 2008 Roswell UFO Festival'
2. dating agency link, purporting to be relevant to radical re-assessment of Cromwell
3. link to 'Cromwell licensing laws' - pointing to diurnalism , caxton and freedom of the press
OK
I'll forgive you the 2nd bad link, it may not matter....
Cromwell may well have been in your class, but I think he was a couple above me, maybe?
[begin rant]
What I glean from this is that both our cultures owe a great deal to our common forebears, from the Norman Conquest/1066/1086 Domesday book, and those who crafted the great charters of 1215/1225, upon which our Bill of Rights was based in 1689, after our Civil War, and which incorporated Edward Coke's adoption of the supremacy of the common law over the King in perpetuity, and the inherent freedom of the individual, and this was adapted, but retained to this day in English common law & the American Declaration of Independence & Constitution as the 5th & 6th amendments, giving rise to 'due process & fair trial by peers'......
all very important stuff in terms of our current 'freedom of speech' - governed in part by a copyright act, also Cromwellian
However, I was referring to our 'Drink Licensing Laws', also going back to the puritans who sought control over the populace, but for darker reasons
Drinking was rife among the commoners and they were 'full of bawdyness and licentiousness, lacking in morals and killing each other in drunken fights'
and they were needed as deck hands and sailors [navvies/navigators] for the warships for the 'commonweal' i.e. the British Plunderers
So drink licensing was as much about keeping the men alive to send them to sea, as raising duty on an otherwise 'unlicensed trade of ginning' - making illicit spiritous drink - and it was enforced by the local magistrate, derived from the court of common pleas
A licensee was a person responsible for running a 'licensed public house', or inn, since the tradition dated back to monasteries, providing shelter, which was incorporated into the license, and the most famous, known as the Gin Act 1751 remained the basis of law until only just recently, when reform threw everything into turmoil, as sweeping new powers were 'conferred on local government', taking the law away from magistrates justices, into the hands of government - a government behaving as if 'Crown Power of God' had never been repealed by revolution!!
Now not only are the premises and the keeper licensed, now the punters are too, and on camera! - pay up, drink up, shut up!
So the way I see things both the American President and the British government are relying on the passage of time and the torturing of history by 'educators' - they are doing a steal......
Repeat after me;
We are all numbnuts, we will not object
We do not offer resistance to the removal of our hard fought for common rights
We succumb to the Almighty dollar tomfoolery & British skullduggery
Thank you & Goodnight!!
Amen
See how it all fits together?
