Marvellous.
Any suggestions as to which ancient laws of the constitution should be restored first?
I’ll open with Magna Carta 1215, Chapter 31:
“No royal official will take wood for our castle, or for any other purpose, without the consent of the owner.”

I wonder what Liz Truss imagines "the ancient laws of the British constitution" to be.

Luckily, the wood in Britain's rainforests, were too twisty and gnarled and a few have survived, so we need some new law to extend & protext them in perpetuity. Can you dig one up for that? 😊

Ezekiel 4:12-15: "Eat the food as you would a loaf of barley bread; bake it in the sight of the people, using human excrement for fuel."
The British people demand that all baking ovens are fired by Great British poo. To do anything else is to surrender to wokism.
Carry a hot iron forty paces and show us your hand after three days. 🤣

Anyone fancy being Lord Protector?
And don't forget witches. Specially if they do pretendy stuff like a few days playing at PM
"Any official shalt have more whit than a cabbage, lettuce or turnip"
"Oi! Peasant. Pick up that wood for me and take it to my wood store on pain of death"
and for more serious issues we could reintroduce burning at the stake
Magna Carta 1215, Chapter 33:
All fish-weirs are in future to be entirely removed from the Thames and the Medway, and throughout the whole of England, except on the sea-coast.
We Scottish will cope quite nicely without any of them, thank you!
Well, certianly laws about witches at least.....
" All merchants may enter or leave England unharmed and without fear, and may stay or travel within it, by land or water, for purposes of trade, free from all illegal exactions, in accordance with ancient and lawful customs....."
(45) We will appoint as justices, constables, sheriffs, or other officials, only men* that know the law of the realm and are minded to keep it well
*This bit needs updating obviously.
Favourite ultra favourite wonderful sketch, thank you for reminding me.🤣😊🤣
‘No knight under the rank of a lord, esquire or gentleman, nor any other person, shall wear any shoes or boots having points which exceed the length of two inches’.
(For anyone who knows me this is a joke, honest guv🙏).
Rape was treated as a theft & remedied by paying a fine, which restored the woman's virginity for legal purposes. A man who could not pay the fine was to have his testicles removed
Liz speaks the truth.
I guess they must specialise in eye surgery
We should all go back to dressing like Tudors, esp Elizabethans, and every will be fine(ary)
There is nothing to stop anybody drivng sheep on a highway in England. See https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/walking-stock-along-road.141038/
The origin of the myth is that Freemen of the City of London were exempt from the tolls that others had to pay.
