The Duchy of Cornwall: Still Beyond the Law?

The Duchy of Cornwall: Still Beyond the Law?

Peter Smith
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
This book exposes for the first time the secret and actively suppressed history of Cornwall. The history that both the Westminster Parliament and the Duchy of Cornwall would far rather the population of the nation, and especially the people of the far southwest of the island of Britain, should know nothing about.
The book is the product of several years of thorough and exhaustive research, checking source documents whenever possible and ensuring that the information contained in it is as accurate as it is possible to be. This is despite the difficulties and obstructions that the Duchy of Cornwall has consistently and relentlessly placed in the path of the authors.
The conclusions reached are surprising, in some cases startling, and serve to demonstrate that what most people believe about Cornwall – and certainly what the Westminster government would like them to believe – bears only the most tenuous connection to the truth of the matter and to the unarguable facts that this book reveals.
Like the fact that Cornwall is not now and never has been a part of either England or of the United Kingdom.
Or that in the middle of the 16th century the Duchy was subjected to a brutal and deliberate attempted genocide by the English government that led to the slaughter of as much as one fifth of the Cornish population and to the attempted elimination of the Cornish language.
But that's just for starters.
Even today, the Westminster government ignores the inconvenient facts that Cornwall has the right use its own currency, to raise a militia when needed and that it can convene its own stannary parliament. Its rights as a separate sovereign nation were established by charter on 17 March 1337 and have never been rescinded because it is not legally possible to do so, and its laws, which are much older than those of Great Britain and take precedence over them, have never been repealed. Furthermore, the people of Cornwall, through the stannary parliament, have the absolute and inalienable right to reject any and all laws passed by the government of the United Kingdom if they wish to do so.
The Duchy of Cornwall is an autocratic and unaccountable body that is astonishingly secretive and engages in activities that are at best suspect, and claims rights without any discoverable legal authority to do so.. The Duchy has no detectable legal claim to the Scilly Isles, it frequently alters its legal status in order to benefit from the most advantageous tax position available, and has had UK property law changed to disadvantage certain of its tenants.
As the longest-serving Duke of Cornwall and the head of the Duchy, Prince Charles paid rent to himself for the use of Highgrove House and received a higher net sum in return than the rent he paid. Uniquely, the Duke of Cornwall and the Sovereign have the absolute right to approve and veto certain legislation before it can be passed at Westminster.
The book shows politicians doing their best to ignore established and unarguable facts, and being economical with the truth rather than adopting the clearly unfamiliar policy of honesty; of the Westminster government attempting to ignore or brush aside any and all requests and representations from the people of Cornwall, a technique that it's employed for hundreds of years; of substantial sums of money provided for the protection of Cornish culture being misdirected into entirely unrelated projects; and English Heritage contributing to the cover-up by blatantly ignoring massacres perpetrated against the Cornish presumably because the facts of the matter clearly conflict with what English Heritage would prefer to have happened.
And, finally and most disturbing of all, the book demonstrates that the ancient and established principle of equality before the law, the cornerstone of every legal system, has no practical application to the actions of either the Duke of Cornwall or of the Duchy.
