LOCATED on Salisbury’s Churchill Way inner ring road, with numbers of other similar signs reportedly erected around the city and across Britain, the primacy of metric dimensions over imperial is contrary to English Law and to the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD).

Erected, no doubt, in expectation that primacy of metric dimensions over imperial would become enshrined within TSRGD legislation later this year, such inclusion, will in fact, render the TSRGD inoperably null and void. Metrication in Britain is contrary to English Constitutional and Common Law. This law, specifically written to forever protect the British people, their customs and culture, is unalterable and in perpetuity. It prohibits all influence or rule by any foreign authority or power. Erection of these signs is a criminal act contrary to that law - it is treason.

Surveys repeatedly show that more than 90 per cent of British people oppose Britain’s metrication. They have never been consulted nor do they consent to it. Attempts to introduce metrication in Britain, even ostensibly for visitors’ safety benefit, is a betrayal of the nation’s interest, its laws and its customs - it is TREASON. Those who attempt to introduce or surreptitiously establish metrication by erecting such signs as these, commit treason.

At her Coronation in 1953, Her Majesty the Queen solemnly undertook to uphold and protect English law and custom. As the current holder of the Office of the Crown, her lifelong obligation according to the common law of Kingship, is to protect and preserve the United Kingdom for her successors, as she received it. She cannot change those laws or customs as she is herself subject to them. That means, for example, that she cannot interfere with established English law or alter English custom by imposing upon her subjects a system of metric measurement. What the Queen cannot do, her servants in Parliament cannot do. Neither can public servants in local government or government agencies.

To attempt to do so is to place oneself above the Queen. That is to imagine the death of Her Majesty. Both of these are major acts of High Treason contrary to the 1351 Treason Act, also the 1559 Act of Supremacy and the 1848 Treason Felony Act.
