“Article 61 Magna Carta 1215 and the Petition To Defend British Rights and Freedoms"

The phrase "They may be a little dusty but they are in good order" was used by Lord Ashbourne, a British peer and Eurosceptic campaigner, in 2001, in reference to the specific enforcement powers granted by Clause 61 of the Magna Carta.

He made the comment when a group of peers used this ancient clause to present a petition to the Queen, urging her to withhold Royal Assent from the ‘Nice Treaty’. The petitioners argued that while these rights had not been exercised for approximately 300 years, they were still valid and applicable to their contemporary situation.

The most vital part of ‘Magna Carta 1215 — Article 61’ — was lawfully invoked in 2001 by a quorum of peers from the ‘House of Lords’.

Among them were hereditary peers who presented a petition on a vellum parchment, titled “Petition to Defend British Rights and Freedoms,” to the then holder of the office of Sovereign.

That petition was never adequately answered, and as a result, Article 61 has remained in effect ever since.

This clause — the security clause — compels all law-abiding people within the realm to stand in defence of their Sovereignty when it is no longer being protected by the Crown.

In plain terms, the Coronation Oath was broken long ago — and until remedy is found for that act of treason, Article 61 remains active, necessary, and absolutely valid.

I will leave the Barons’ correspondence linked below, for those who wish to bear witness to their statements surrounding this incredible event — the most important constitutional action in modern history.
