Is Blair on the verge of committing Treason ?

Check out Iain Dales diary - selling out our sovereignty - and thereby trying to remove the sovereign surely must be Treason.

See:

Iain Dale's Diary: Blair to Sign a New European Constitution

Wikipedia on Treason and High Treason.

Now I know most of this seems to revolve around a form inserting your genetic code into the royal family, or doing away with them. But isn't a European constitution effectively doing the same thing.

James Higham said...: On the weekend, in a post about Culloden, I was taken to task for suggesting Blair was like the Scottish Chieftains behind the clearances. Only Martin Kelly saw the analogy.; 12:44 pm
Fulham Reactionary said...: Under the Treason Act 1351, it is treason to do anything that reduces the extent of the King's realm. It seems to me that Blair is planning to do just that. In any event, reducing the power of the monarch over the nation should count as "being adherent to the King's enemies in the realm", or even as "waging war against the King" both of which are also treasonous. I doubt there's much chance of seeing Blair's head stuck on Traitor's Gate, however. Unfortunately.; 1:59 am
Man in a Shed said...: Well perhaps we should take our lead from the SNP here and the cash for peerages investigation.

We can be sure they didn't see that one coming.

If we did have Blair's head on a poll at traitors gate - would it still have that stupid grin ?; 9:38 am

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.
