The People's No Campaign is an umbrella body for various anti EU campaigns in the UK.
According to its own account:
- The People's No Campaign has now grown into an 'umbrella campaign' comprising of a number of successful campaigns. The fight is against all forms of unaccountable and unacceptable governance. We are a campaign free from party political dogma and run by concensus and co-operation and not by committee.
- Initially the Metric Martyrs Campaign provided the genesis of the way campaigns were to be fought. The aggressive, no nonsense style of campaigning proved hugely successful and the campaign continues and has expanded into the bigger constitutional argument created by the Metric Martyrs' Judgment. The tragic, untimely death of Steven Thoburn, the first Metric Martyr, strengthened the resolve of the campaign to achieve justice and have the mens' criminal convictions quashed. There have been no further prosecutions after the initial ones and politically it is an issue that is now avoided by all local authorities.
- The North East No Campaign was set up to create resistance to the North East Regional Assembly, initially in its unelected form and then latterly to defeat John Prescott's dream of having an elected North East Assembly. After achieving the biggest referendum upset in British political history we are now actively campaigning to expose and engineer the demise of unelected regional assemblies around the country. Campaign tactics against the unelected North East Assembly are being replicated across the country by other groups.
- The [[[No to the EU Constitution Campaign]] was simply the North East No Campaign stepping up to the national stage again. Working in association with many other groups and individuals, this campaign was preparing to take up the No position in any European Constitution referendum. The French and Dutch 'No' votes have not killed the constitution and our team are actively monitoring the 'behind the scenes' implementation of facets of the constitution and monitoring the ratification process in other countries.
- The No to Decriminalised Parking Fines Campaign has grown as a strand from the Metric Martyrs Judgement. It is not acceptable to be 'fined' by an administrative body, a local authority, without proper recourse and justice through a court of law. Constitutionally, the Bill of Rights Act 1689 does not allow anyone to be fined except by a court of law. The implications of this facet of the campaign are enormous and could cost the Government billions in revenue. [1]
