Weird Sovereign citizen campaign in Britain

Strange billboards have started appearing all over Britain. The billboards appear to be referencing the "crown company straw name" conspiracy that some of the "Free men of the land" in Britain believe in. Strangely, the reporter tracked the message on the billboards to a Sovereign citizen writer/conspiracy-theorist in Canada although the billboards are in Britain.

...As for the average citizen, they are merely confused by these cryptic messages.

I always thought "sovereign citizens" were an American thing.  Just goes to show that stupidity is global.

It kinda is just an American thing (well the name is anyway, in Europe I think they refer to themselves ad Freeman of the Land.) These idiots are on the list of dumbassas I make fun of for all time, next to flat earthers, hoteps (racist black nationals I talked about a while ago.) and most conspiritards.

I wonder if it an actual Canadian involved or if it's just an attempt to hide their real identity and location. In a convoluted way it makes sense for a colonial to target the mother country since it's where we got our laws and where our queen lives, but it's still a stretch.

Then again, it might just be a shitty viral marketing campaign.

Isn't there a man claiming to be the "real king of England", or is that a citizen sovereign?
