@FrDavidPalmer @PremierNewsDesk Church lockdowns are unconstitutional, contrary to Clause I of Magna Carta, as subsequently confirmed by the English Bill of Rights (1689), with said liberties extended to other denominations by The Toleration Act of 1689 as follows, see thread.

Magna Carta (1689) FIRST, We have granted to God, and by this our present Charter have confirmed, for Us and our Heirs for ever, that the Church of England shall be free, and shall have all her whole Rights and Liberties inviolable. legislation.gov.uk/aep/Edw1cc1929…
English Bill of Rights (1689) Heads of Declaration include: "By issueing and causeing to be executed a Commission under the Great Seale for Erecting a Court called The Court of Commissioners for Ecclesiasticall Causes." legislation.gov.uk/aep/WillandMar…
English Bill of Rights (1689) Subjects Rights includes: "That the Commission for erecting the late Court of Commissioners for Ecclesiasticall Causes and all other Commissions and Courts of like nature are Illegall and Pernicious." Yet HM Gov has assumed that role for shutdown.
The Toleration Act of 1688 then extended these liberties to other denominations other than Catholicism which obviously was later tolerated. Whilst repealed mid c20, it can be said that the constitutional ancient liberties of the Church of England now extend to all denominations.
It would be highly arguable therefore to issue a judicial review against HM Government assuming pretended powers to prohibit or control ecclesiastic activity. Further, restrictions being imposed are also constitutional for involving pretended powers in general as follows:
English Bill of Rights (1689), passed by Whigs, opposed by Tories, forever outlawed dictatorship by the executive: "That the pretended Power of Suspending of Laws or the Execution of Laws by Regall Authority without Consent of Parlyament is illegall." legislation.gov.uk/aep/WillandMar…
English Bill of Rights (1689) requires frequent, not six monthly scrutiny: “that for Redresse of all Grievances and for the amending strengthening and preserveing of the Lawes Parlyaments ought to be held frequently.“ legislation.gov.uk/aep/WillandMar…
Next we return to Magna Carta, which prohibits HM Government from removing liberties contrary to the rule of law as has occurred. Magna Carta XXIX "NO Freeman shall be taken or imprisoned, or be disseised of his Freehold, or Liberties, or free Customs, or be outlawed, or exiled,
or any other wise destroyed; nor will We not pass upon him, nor [X1condemn him,] but by lawful judgment of his Peers, or by the Law of the Land. We will sell to no man, we will not deny or defer to any man either Justice or Right." legislation.gov.uk/aep/Edw1cc1929…
