Oh gawd. Just chatted with a 'mate' - well, bloke I know that I was convinced to lend £100 to, the second fifty back is only two months late - and as he was regaling me with his sea of troubles he casually mentioned how he'd discovered his mortgage was illegal. Intrigued, I asked more. His reply made little sense until he uttered those magic words 'Legal Name.' Yes, he has fallen, or more likely leapt, into a pit of freeman nonsense. The whole kit and caboodle! The Rothschilds bought the Crown in 1952, something something Admiralty law ("they put you in a Dock - see, proof!"), council tax is unlawful, everything's unlawful. The sovereign isn't a sovereign!
I tried a brief interjection along the lines of, 'yeah, but you will have to convince a court of law of this, so if they're all in on it....' but to no avail.
I think I'd happily write off the fifty smackers in order not to have to hear a word of it again.
