In 1972 Edward Heath pushed through Parliament the European Communities Act, this wasn't an International Treaty but an act of Parliament deciding that it no longer was the supreme authority for lawmaking in this country, the act was passed in conjunction with Britain applying to enter the "Common Market"Britain joined the EEC in Janury'73.Harold Wilson gave us a referendum in 1975 telling us that it was because of trade and reassured people that we would not loose our Sovereignty, we trusted him and it was passed with a vote of just 47% of the population, there has never ever been another referendum and no one under the age of 53 has had the chance to vote on a referendum on how our country should be governed.The Single European Treaty of 1986 was signed by Margeret Thatcher who lated stated that she had been tricked into signing it.The Maastricht Treaty 1993 was agreed by John Major, it changed the European Community to the European Union. Article 8 made all citizens of the United Kingdom citizens of the European Union, including Her Majesty the Queen, and could be deemed an act of treason by any who signed it, including Douglas Hurd, the Foreign Secretary, and Francis Maude who both formally signed the document. Indeed, a citizen’s charge of treason was taken out against them by Norris McWhirter, of Guinness Book of Records fame. This was successful in the magistrates’ court, but the case then had to go to a higher court. At this point the Attorney General in the Conservative government exercised his power to take over any private citizen’s right to go to law, and having replaced Norris McWhirter, he failed to take it any further, thus ending the treason procedure against Douglas Hurd and Francis Maude. In 1999"The Treaty of Amsterdam" was signed by Tony Blair.It gave the EU control over further areas of British Law,and established Europol the EU State Security Service, which is above the law, and cannot be sued, whatever damage they might do in the exercise of their duties.Treaty of Nice 2001 signed by Tony Blair. This gave up another 39 vetoes on areas of British Life, the introduction of Corpus Juris which was an interpretation of Continental Law.to replace British Law such as Habeas Corpus whereby a person cannot be held in custody for more than 96 hours without being charged. Under Corpus Juris a suspect can be held in custody for up to 6 month's without charge. In EU Civil Law it is up to the accused to prove his innocence, this is why our criminal courts are now introducing trial without Jury because of the EU ruling.The European Constitution Treaty of 2004 also signed by Tony Blair it was intended to be the second treaty of Rome and the last treaty to give Brussels full control of Europe with the creation of "the United States of Europe" Tony Blair was eventually persuaded to have a referendum on the new constitution to ratify his signature, This forced France and Holland to do the same, as it was thought that they would get a yes vote and that it would persuade Britain to do likewise. However to the dismay of politicians, both France and Holland voted against the Treaty and it decided against for the time being.The European Reform Treaty of 2007(The Lisbon Treaty,now a constitution)Britain was denied the right to vote on the Lisbon Treaty which affected our entire future by Gordon Brown he was aided by the leader of the Liberal Democrats consequently both parties voted against having a referendum which forced Parliament to vote it's parliamentary sovereignty into oblivion. 76% of new laws passed in parliament are a directive from Brussels. And yes of course HRA is universal throughout the union it is only the UK which pay's so much out for hurting peoples feelings.
