We need more people like Billy Bragg.

The Parliament Act 1911, the Statute of Westmister 1931 & the Parliament Act 1949 were effectively amendments to the "British Constitution" (comprising the Magna Carta 1215, the English Bill of Rights 1689, the Scottish Claim of Rights 1689).

We just need to start revering these documents as much as the United States does its Constitution. Our disregard of these documents is the only reason why our rights could be threatened.

Akin to Billy spouts multiculturalism how great it is.

Then moves his luxury home as far has he can away from culturally diverse areas.

Notice too, how silent he is over the Lords nowadays, that Socialist cronies are getting their peerages?

Akin to Red Ken- they just love money- while talking poverty.

CHAMPAIGN SOCIALIST'S

The red Billy- knows full well we have a bill of rights 1689.

He just wants to aid his fabian mate Brown re-write one to suit their red agenda!!

Right to bear arms- Billy won't like that either.

Hitler disarmed his people too- armed people are not such a push over for governments with red agenda's as the Fabians have..

NAZI National Socialism- oppose oppression LOL-- you should have tried life behind the iron curtain that was SOCIALISM IN ACTION!

Billy is a very rich hypocritical wanker who preaches about socialism and wanting more immigration while he lives in a mansion in all white Dorset. His excuse was "Ihave to think about the kids". Some of us don't have the choice Billy. Our white working class kids are a minority in many schools around Britain. The vast majority of racist attacks are against white victims according to the British Crime Survey 2006

well said billy

The English Bill of Rights 1689 and the Scottish Claim of Rights 1689 together form the de facto "British Bill of Rights".

There are 6 main documents to the British Constitution which are equivalent to the French or U.S. Constitutions.

What needs to change is not the mere nomenclature of those documents, but the status of those documents. All the writing is already there, we just need to get the government to respect it.
