We owe our forebears a debt that is impossible to measure. In Germania (A.D. 98) Tacitus wrote about a people who had laws, morals, and an organised society based on folk right, customary common law, exercised at folk moots. These were precursors to our representative parliamentary democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Recently, politicians have sought to overthrow the will of the people. To defend our inheritance requires an understanding of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book is a detailed examination of events from Anglo-Saxon times to now. It paints a picture of a people struggling to recover their rights whilst at the same time leading the world in science, commerce, engineering, culture, and law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Our island story demonstrates that the people will not be thwarted. A proper understanding of our national journey will help us to restore our folk right.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bruges Group","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47967200215191,"sku":"9781917743150","price":3034.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781917743150.webp?v=1782913520","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/parliament-privilege-and-the-people-a-concise-history-of-england-9781917743150","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
