Roger Hayes: A Beacon of Lawful Rebellion and Advocate for Constitutional Awareness
Roger Hayes is a prominent figure in the Freeman on the Land movement and an outspoken advocate for lawful rebellion.
Known for his steadfast commitment to individual sovereignty and the principles of constitutional law, Hayes has played a significant role in educating the public about their rights and the systemic overreach of financial and governmental institutions.
His work as the founder of The British Constitution Group (BCG) and his outspoken stance against the banking industry have cemented his place as a key voice in the fight for freedom and justice.
Of course, he takes his rightful place in the Freeman Movement.
Founding The British Constitution Group
The British Constitution Group was established by Hayes as a platform to address issues surrounding constitutional law and to raise awareness of the erosion of individual freedoms in the UK. The organization focuses on empowering citizens through education, emphasizing that the British Constitution is a living document meant to protect the rights of the people.
The BCG advocates for the restoration of constitutional principles, including lawful rebellion, as articulated in the Magna Carta of 1215. This ancient document provides the legal foundation for citizens to resist authority when it becomes tyrannical. Hayes and the BCG have used this principle to challenge the legality of certain governmental and financial practices, urging citizens to reclaim their sovereignty.
Hayes states that European law forced upon the British people, is unconstitutional. Roger Hayes went on to lead the British Campaign Group (BCG). On his BCG website, the campaign against the banks became prominent. For instance, it explained how the banks “own us.”
However, both groups no longer exists. In any event, Roger Hayes has certainly caused a stir in these companies.
Standing Against the Banks
One of Roger Hayes’ most notable contributions to the Freeman on the Land movement is his staunch opposition to the banking system.
He has spoken extensively about how modern banks exploit the public through practices such as fractional-reserve lending and the creation of money as debt.
Hayes has argued that these practices are not only unethical but also legally dubious, amounting to a form of systemic fraud. In his public speeches and writings, Hayes has outlined how banks wield disproportionate power over individuals.
Furthermore, they are manipulating the economy to serve their interests at the expense of the people. He has encouraged citizens to demand accountability. He also calls for a return to a system that serves the public good rather than corporate profit.
Lawful Rebellion in Action
Through the concept of lawful rebellion, Hayes has inspired many to take a stand against what he views as illegitimate authority. Lawful rebellion is not about breaking the law, but rather asserting one’s rights under the law. Hayes has encouraged people to challenge unlawful court proceedings and refuse to comply with unjust taxes. He also questions the legitimacy of governmental institutions that fail to act in the public interest.
One of the most notable instances of Hayes’ activism was his own legal battle over council tax. He refused to pay what he deemed an unlawful tax and used his case to highlight the broader issue of public funds being mismanaged by local governments. This act of defiance drew attention to his message and sparked debates about the fairness and legality of certain government-imposed obligations.
Roger Hayes and the “Mass Action Against the Banks” Campaign
Roger Hayes, through his work with The British Constitution Group (BCG), spearheaded the Mass Action Against the Banks (MAAB) campaign. This was a bold initiative aimed at holding banks accountable for what he and his supporters viewed as systemic fraud. The campaign was a response to widespread discontent with the banking industry, particularly in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, and sought to challenge the legality and morality of banking practices such as fractional-reserve lending and the creation of money as debt.
The Core Objectives of MAAB
The Mass Action Against the Banks campaign was founded on several key principles:
- Exposing Bank Fraud: Hayes argued that banks routinely operate in ways that amount to fraud. He particularly criticized the creation of money out of nothing through loans, whereby banks effectively issue credit that does not exist in tangible form. This practice, he claimed, devalues existing currency and enslaves individuals through unpayable debt.
- Empowering Individuals: A central goal of the campaign was to educate citizens about their rights and the legal mechanisms available to challenge the banking system. Hayes believed that informed individuals could collectively dismantle the grip of the banking industry on society.
- Demanding Accountability: The campaign sought to hold banks legally accountable by initiating mass legal actions against them. This involved challenging loan agreements, mortgage foreclosures, and other financial contracts that Hayes and his supporters argued were invalid under common law.
Key Actions and Strategies
The MAAB campaign encouraged individuals to take a stand by:
- Withholding Mortgage Payments: Participants were urged to suspend mortgage payments on the grounds that banks did not lend actual money but instead created credit from nothing, which Hayes argued rendered such agreements void.
- Legal Challenges: The campaign provided templates and guidance for individuals to file legal claims against banks, challenging the validity of their contracts and exposing what Hayes described as “fraudulent” lending practices.
- Community Support Networks: To bolster the campaign, Hayes emphasized the importance of building local and national support groups where participants could share resources, experiences, and legal advice.
Hayes’ Arrest and Its Impact
Roger Hayes’ campaign took a dramatic turn in 2012 when he was arrested and briefly imprisoned over his refusal to pay council tax, a move he described as an act of lawful rebellion. His arrest sparked outrage among his supporters and drew greater attention to his broader message, including the MAAB campaign.
Hayes argued that his imprisonment was politically motivated, designed to silence his activism. However, far from derailing the campaign, the incident galvanized his followers and highlighted the lengths to which the establishment would go to protect its interests.
Legacy of the MAAB Campaign
While the Mass Action Against the Banks campaign faced significant resistance from the legal and financial systems, it succeeded in raising public awareness about the questionable practices of the banking industry. It also inspired a wave of similar grassroots efforts aimed at challenging the status quo, not just in the UK but globally.
The campaign’s emphasis on collective action and legal empowerment remains a cornerstone of Roger Hayes’ legacy. For many in the Freeman on the Land and lawful rebellion movements, MAAB serves as a blueprint for how citizens can unite to challenge institutional abuses and reclaim their sovereignty.
Through MAAB, Hayes demonstrated that even against powerful entities like the banking industry, individuals armed with knowledge and determination could make their voices heard.
Hayes’ campaign has highlighted that under English Law, the banks have used inappropriate legislation to seize people’s homes.
He continued to bring our attention to this crime against humanity and how people can stand up to corrupt institutions too. By standing up for what is right and just, the people can win back their power, in effect. But, to do nothing means that you are consenting.
Roger Hayes videos
So, here is a video where Roger is talking about the banks and the courts. In short, the system that wielded its ‘power’ upon us is now afraid of the truth that Roger has discovered.
Roger also talking about debt, Bank Fraud, Promissory Note and Letters to Bank.
A Legacy of Awareness and Action
While Roger Hayes is no longer active in mainstream politics—having previously been a member of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), and former parliamentary candidate of the Referendum Party—his influence continues to resonate within the Freeman on the Land movement and beyond. His work with the British Constitution Group remains a touchstone for those seeking to understand their rights and resist oppressive systems.
Through his tireless efforts, Hayes has empowered countless individuals to question the status quo, stand up for their rights, and advocate for a society rooted in fairness, accountability, and the rule of law. His message is clear: the power ultimately lies with the people, and it is their responsibility to ensure that governments and institutions serve them, not the other way around.
To clarify things, ordinary people tied to the banks, don’t realise they have unwittingly given their souls to them. But, as soon as things go slightly wrong, they wake up to the fact. Likewise, people quickly realise how the banks and other corrupt organisations have been controlling them. People are little more than ‘energy units’ for the moneylenders.
When people are on the receiving end of their “power,” they soon realise that. However, little by little we are chipping away at these corrupt organisations, and Roger still leads the way.
As the Freeman Movement grows, Roger Hayes’ contributions serve as both a source of inspiration and a call to action for all who value freedom and justice.
Roger Hayes: In Conclusion
All things considered, hats off to Roger Hayes for putting his head above the parapet. He is a very brave man indeed.
