the BBC were very careful not to explain the difference between "legal" & "lawful", "crown court" & "common law court", and jurisdiction.

I have personally had success using the techniques taught by Karl Lentz.

There is no separate "common law court" in the UK. All UK courts, including the Crown Court, have the same requirement to use common law when it is applicable, and to use codified laws when they are applicable.

If this Karl Lentz is claiming there's a separate common law court, he is totally ignorant of the UK legal system.

No you haven't. The system takes a long time to catch up with people because it assumes good faith in most cases. It isn't built to deal with crackpot nonsense.

It will eventually catch up.

In adult land, the terms "legal" and "lawful" are completely synonymous.

Anyone you hear saying otherwise is living in a fantasy world, and/or wants to sell you tickets to a fantasy world.

It's always confusing to me how you people manage to learn to use computers. Is it just matters of law you deliberately misunderstand?
Uh, how so? A quick search turned up webpages with about as many different font sizes and colors as Timecube.

Can you tell us what success you have had?
