We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

    Subject of your petition

    The Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are attempting to force EU citizenship on me, which is in breach of article 20 (2) of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights? (Britain has signed this) Article 20. (2) No one may be compelled to belong to an association.

    Text of your petition:

    I am unable to exhaust available remedies as the UK Human Rights Act 1998 does not allow me to challenge parliament.

    6. – (1) It is unlawful for a public authority to act in a way which is incompatible with a Convention right.

    6.- (3) In this section “public authority” includes-

    (a) a court or tribunal, and
     
    (b) any person certain of whose functions are functions of a public nature,   

    but does not include either House of Parliament or a person exercising functions in connection with proceedings in Parliament.

    Recently in the UK, we have been faced with two new and highly questionable charters of Human Rights, both of which seek to prohibit discrimination. I am told my ‘rights and freedoms are secured without discrimination on any grounds such as…association with a national minority…birth or other status’. Since the UK government has foolishly subscribed to these terms it must abide by them. By attempting to impose an unwanted foreign citizenship on me they are directly breaching my human rights, as defined above. I have a right and freedom to be a subject of the crown, and to be described as English within the UK. By being described as an EU citizens as well, I am being discriminated against as a member of the English minority in the EU. On these grounds alone, logic would suggest they should now withdraw mine and all other unwanted EU Citizenships and EU passports.

    Questions.
    1. How can the EU (a non-country) claim it can impose citizenship on me without my agreement?

    2. Where in law does the state take the right to create the notion that dual-citizenship is somehow compulsory?

    3. Where in law does the UK parliament claim sovereignty over my birthrights?

    4. Given the terms of the oath sworn by the monarch of the UK at her coronation, and the oaths sworn by her ministers and senior civil servants, how do you or they explain or attempt to justify the present inherent and fundamental contradictions involved?

    5. At one stage in the EU’s metamorphosis, the issuing of an EU passport was merely a ‘recommendation’ by the EU. In which case, was citizenship merely a recommendation, too? And is it still?

    6. What happens to the legal status of supposed citizenship if and when the EU purports to seize ‘legal personality’ for itself in the forthcoming European Constitution, after which it can then claim to be a country?

    European Constitution
    Article I-8: Citizenship of the Union

    1. Every national of a Member State shall be a citizen of the Union.
    Citizenship of the Union shall be additional to national citizenship; it shall
    not replace it.

    2. Citizens of the Union shall enjoy the rights and be subject to the duties
    provided for in this Constitution.

    I do not wish to be a citizen of the associated states of Europe.
