The Tender For Law

English Only

ENGLISH is the international language of law and commerce. Knowing FRENCH is useful for understanding LEGAL ENGLISH, but FRENCH is not the international language of law and commerce, so we will ignore French speakers who speak to us in the language of a conquered people.

Non.

I understand that you are a proud Québécois, but the people here have nothing but contempt for you because of decades of transfer payments and NONE OF YOU understanding what Quebec sovereignty means. None of you know who Russell Rogers Smith is, and you're too proud and arrogant to teach. Just go away and be Retardier somewhere else.

Mackximus Minimus: I looked at the definitions for "freeman" in some of the most "trusted" dictionaries. From what I can tell, "freeman" is a TITLE, and it could only be GRANTED. You cannot call yourself "freeman" on your own, SOMEONE has to grant that TITLE.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I am reading...

Correct...In some of the UK statutes I read through regarding council tax/liabilities of the inhabitants becoming the liabilities of the council, there are references to Freemen.

The title is obtained (paraphrasing here), by declaring yourself a freeman & then registering same with the local mayor (kinda defeats the purpose)...the title can then be passed down through the family.

The change in status has been repealed from the legislation & I couldn't be arsed to go digging for it.
