SIR – Following on from the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty at the end of 2009, the European Public Prosecutor’s Office will now be established and the European Public Prosecutor appointed.
It will have a cumulative catastrophic effect on our future lives in that it will result in the enforcement of Corpus Juris in the United Kingdom.
The enforcement of Corpus Juris will entail the complete overhaul of our criminal law resulting in the abandonment of habeas corpus, of the presumption of innocence and of trial by jury – those safeguards of individual freedoms that have been customary for us for centuries but are not followed in continental countries where the Napoleonic inquisitorial system is the general rule. Thanks to the provisions of the Lisbon Treaty, our Parliament is powerless to prevent the introduction of Corpus Juris, but our Government can exercise either a veto or an opt-out.
All your readers who appreciate the dangers to our freedoms of the introduction of Corpus Juris should get in touch with their MP as soon as possible, making their views plain and asking him/her to sign the Early Day Motion 637 against this.
Jason Smith, UKIP Prospective Parliamentary Candidate, Bradford West, Woodlands Avenue, Queensbury, Bradford
