Bank of England Act 1694

This act was written when the Bank of England was founded in 1694 – with the intent NOT to oppress “Their Majesties’ subjects”.

Its Section XXVI says “Corporation not to trade”. That means no “financial products”. No buying and selling of currencies, debts or other “instruments”.

The Act is published by the Office of Public Sector Information which is Part of The National Archives.

The act seems to have been written with the intention of “Their Majesties’ subjects not to be oppressed” by the Corporation.

Our Early Day Motion 1297 suggests that Her Majesty’s subjects have been seriously oppressed and that this oppression needs to be addressed.

Do we have here a 400+ year economic war between the 1% sociopaths and 99% decent folks? Sure looks like it to me.
