Billboards stating "It's illegal to use a legal name".

So there are quite a few around. Someone must have wasted a shed load of cash on this. So somebody has scrimped and saved to give their son or perhaps grandson (lets face it, its bound to be a guy) a leg up and he's spunked it on this worthless nonsense. What an undeserving twat.

A few of them have hung around activist circles in Greater Manchester, notably anti-fracking protests (particularly when Barton Moss was going on), and someone from UK Column was at an anti-benefit sanctions protest a few years ago, and they and the conspiraloon lot totally overrun OccupyMCR when Occupy was at its height. At present most of them are content to just participate in the various "Wake up (town)!" gatherings that take place in the area from time to time, although I am concerned that the Nuit Debout group will be prime pickings for them (but for now their influence has been limited, fingers crossed).

IMO they need treating as the disruptive and dodgy fuckheads they are, and they should be thrown out of any political space they appear in. The damage they do is underestimated.

Thankfully I think both sets of campaigns are large enough that the effects that these disruptive elements are having are negligible, and presently they have all gotten pretty bored and moved on as the more sensible people who make up the core of the campaigns stand firm. They are more likely to be making tits of themselves on social media than doing anything in real life, the main issue is that some people naively fail to recognise how disruptive such people can be, but IME the truly disruptive ones are soon given short shrift, when awkward truths started circulating about a prominent person who had become one of the leading voices of the anti-homelessness campaigns he (and the campaigns associated with him) soon went to ground.

Edit to add: Also another thing that people fail to realise until it's thrust into their face is that the vast majority of these freemen-on-the-land types encompass some very unpleasant and reactionary views - views which make them just as unpalatable as UKIPpers and fellow travellers.

and squandered it on shitty advertising

Strange, I know. There's crack and whores waiting to be bought.

Spotted one tonight in West Norwood. Freemen reach SE27

Are you all sure this is not some no name tobacco advertising thing?

Presumably this is a teaser so the first of at least a couple.

I doubt that their shitwankery will have much success with the Napoleonic legal code.

501 likes Such a shame, all that money for so few likes. The billboards appear to be spread out fairly evenly across the UK, I'd initially thought that it was a Southern England thing only.

None of it makes any sense, though. Normally I can make some sort of sense of what they're saying. Who's put the page up there, what's the relevance to the judge?

He is the judge. A plenipotentiary judge. Google his name for a whole lot of loon-info.

I particularly liked:

In August 2001, Paul and Myrna Schuck unsuccessfully used Miller's language during a tax-evasion trial in Calgary, Alberta. They were later sentenced to jail after claiming postage affixed to their clothing and signed by them made them legally equivalent to royalty.[2][14]

I'm glad this lady with the hammers and knives failed:

In 2008, Wai'anae, Hawaii, resident Rita Makekau was convicted of eight counts of assault and one count of domestic abuse for injuring five children in her care with hammers and knives.[31] In 2009, Makekau challenged her child abuse conviction by claiming her sovereignty group, Hawaiian Kingdom Government, declared her innocent. Miller said he is the group's spokesperson and is a "plenipotentiary judge, ambassador and postmaster".[32] Makekau was ordered to prison in 2009.

Defendants have attempted to use Miller's language or ideas in courts of the United States and Canada.

These attempts have been uniformly unsuccessful.

You might as well stand up in court and say abacadabra, pif paf pouf, hocus pocus, alakazam, open sesame, sentence sentence go away come back again another day for all the good it will do

This guy should have tried the illegal/illegal name stuff:

A priest has been suspended after he admitted assaulting a police officer and a paramedic on a drunken night out.

The Reverend Gareth Jones swore at officers and claimed he had diplomatic immunity from the Vatican when he was arrested two weeks ago.
