PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #154 · Mike Burke on Guns, Common Law and the Claim That the Throne Is Vacant

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com

Tonight I was joined by Mike Burke for a deep and provocative exploration of firearms law, the English constitutional tradition, and the long historical drift from common law into what he argues is an executive-controlled administrative system. We began with Dunblane, Hungerford and Port Arthur as key turning points in modern gun control, before moving into the Bill of Rights, the right to bear arms, the role of Hansard, the Coronation Oath, Magna Carta, and the gradual transfer of power away from the people and into ministers, policy, and discretion. Mike’s central argument was stark: many of the rights people assume have vanished may in fact have been buried under layers of policy, legalese and institutional corruption rather than lawfully extinguished.

In the second part of the show, Monika joined us and widened the lens further. We talked about inversion in modern society, attacks on the family, the moral confusion aimed at children, and Canada’s conversion therapy law as an example of the upside-down age we’re living through. We also touched on beauty, culture, bells, architecture, joy, and the need to stay spiritually grounded while confronting systems that seem bent on destruction. If there was one thread running through the whole evening, it was this: we are living through profound illegitimacy, and the way out begins with remembering who we are, what was handed down to us, and what we must now recover.Paul English Live: https://paulenglishlive.com/Food For Thought Radio (FFT Radio): https://www.fftradio.com/WBN324 Talk Radio: https://linktr.ee/wbn324Smithsonian Institution: https://www.si.edu/Bleak House by Charles Dickens (Project Gutenberg): https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1023Charles Dickens Museum: https://dickensmuseum.com/Hansard (UK Parliament): https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons Hansard – UK Parliament: https://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/offices/commons/hansard/National Rifle Association of the United Kingdom: https://nra.org.uk/Bill of Rights 1689 (House of Commons Library): https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn00293/Coronation Oath (UK Parliament / Hansard): https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2023-04-19/debates/23041918000005/CoronationOathMagna Carta (UK Parliament): https://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/evolutionofparliament/originsofparliament/birthofparliament/overview/magnacarta/Bank of England: https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/Chatham House: https://www.chathamhouse.org/Rupert Lowe MP: https://www.rupertlowe.co.uk/Project Gutenberg: https://www.gutenberg.org/StreamYard: https://streamyard.com/Telegram: https://telegram.org/Rumble: https://rumble.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP): https://www.un.org/development/desa/indigenouspeoples/declaration-on-%20the-rights-of-indigenous-peoples.htmlBill C-4 (Canada) – An Act to amend the Criminal Code (conversion therapy): https://www.parl.ca/legisinfo/en/bill/44-1/c-4Justice Canada – Proposed changes to Canada’s Criminal Code relating to conversion therapy: https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/pl/ct-tc/index.html
