The Hill Times’ Post

Free, in-person tickets open for our annual Gray's Inn Reading: Lord Falconer asks, Considering the last decade, has the UK Constitution worked or does it need reform? Book via: https://lnkd.in/eMnAJhSs ..................................... Does the UK’s constitution provide too much freedom for those that wish to abuse it? Specific examples of this might include Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s lawbreaking during COVID, the selection of Liz Truss as Prime Minister, the ability of the Government to force controversial policies (such as the Rwanda Bill) and the sacking of the Cabinet Secretaries and Permanent Secretaries. Or does the UK constitution, perhaps in contrast to that of the United States and many other nation states, provide relative freedom to remove unsuitable political and civil service leaders without relative domestic political trauma?

Joe Montgomery CB and Seb Lowe review the King’s Speech and conclude the #LocalGovernment sector is well placed to help the labour government find solutions to several conundrums, but say: "The sector must use the months before the all-important autumn budget and subsequent spending-round decisions to shape the specific policies that will affect the space in which local councils operate."

Insightful discussion into the "managed decline", what really happened with the mini-budget crisis, "10 years left to save the West", and many other interesting tidbits like LDIs liability-driven investments etc. Well worth a listen.

we now see them as authoritarians, marxists, pitting ideology to divide. We do not like their medical forcing, their alliance with globalists, their watching like big brother, their trampling of speech and of all rights that discuss how we view our world and their concerted detrimental changes to it. They are ushering in the WHO powers to further dismantle the protection of the citizens through the nation state. WHY WAIT A YEAR PLUS TO COME OUT AGAINST IT. we ALL FREAKING KNOW. We are just waiting for main stream media to 'investigate'. WHAT ABOUT SUDDEN DEATHS. HAD A FEW IN YOUR CIRCLE YET??? The public health, the global marxism, the global censorship schemes, the decimation of the west. WAITING. the use of race to divide the use of medical decisions to divide. waiting. the use of gender politics to divide. WAITINg. the burning of churches. WAITING. the use of DEI as a MANDATORY UPTAKE OF A STATE RELIGION. waiting. the insufficient dialogue and analysis for the encroachment of globalist power. WAITING. the obvious subversion of our institutions WAITING. we need a vocabulary to dissect and distill what is subversion. WE DON,T WANT TO WAIT FOR GLOBE AND MAIL ET AL TO CATCH UP. Hurry up already

Key Points from the King's Speech 2024 for Rutland & Stamford Homeowners. The King’s Speech at the State Opening of Parliament sets the agenda for the government's priorities. This year's speech, delivered by King Charles, is the first from a Labour government since 2010 following the recent general election. With 30+ bills highlighted, there are significant plans, though nothing particularly groundbreaking or seismic for Rutland & Stamford homeowners or landlords.

Very proud of Loberg Ector LLP for their hard work, courage, and dedication to standing up for Canadian values and freedoms. It is an important task as lawyers to be the voice for those who have been silenced and crushed by government overreach. No democracy permits the freezing of bank accounts without due process. Rule of law demands accountability. Imagine a world where the government uses its agents to automatically freeze all of your bank accounts, including credit cards, without a court order, without any reasonable grounds to believe that you have committed a criminal offence? Imagine a world, where you used your voice to express dissent to government policies, and on the same day that you go to the grocery store to buy food to feed your family, your hard earned money is frozen, inaccessible, because the government decided, without any lawful authority or lawful reason, to punish you in response to your opinion. That is a world, where 'careful what you say, otherwise you and your family will starve' applies. Is that democracy? Is that rule of law? No. Let the world see, and learn that Canada is not the country it used to be. A small group of plaintiffs and lawyers, have the courage to hold those responsible to account and I hope that others will join in the effort to maintain our Canadian values, our human rights -- our human dignity. And to protect our beautiful country and people from government tyranny.

Hopefully this millstone takes Trudeau and his full band of Les Incompetents where they deserve - straight to the bottom with all the other bottom feeders. The penalty for so callously and easily raping citizens of their basic constitutional rights before a thoughtful and proper evaluation whether statutory tests/ principles had been met should be very high and, in my view, should be evaluated in a criminal context. This is a most clearly incompetent Liberal government with NDP Singh an informed complicit party. Is this how Canadians want to be governed? Trudeau Liberals: -pattern of regular unethical behaviour and breaking the highest laws of the land; -economic destruction with a forecast to lag most of the developed world; -record inflation and interest rates on top of record irresponsible valueless deficit spending; -unchecked immigration putting people out of the market for homes/ rentals; -record divisiveness across the federation; -nonsensical alarmist climate policies costing billions and destroying natural resource wealth etc. -record poverty and drug addiction; -and on and on. Your dimwitted government: Trudeau Liberals. Time for drastic change.
