No. Because you have publicly accused someone of a criminal offence. You do know what "libel" is, yes?
-
I do. He is free to sue me anytime he wants.
-
Cool. I hope he does. You deserve it.

I assume we refer here to high treason. English law defines such as 'disloyalty to the Crown’.

@SecretBarrister has nailed it already. Looked through all the Treason Acts. I liked the one for which the penalty was transportation. -
Just occurred to me that transportation is a very silly punishment for a traitor. They can raise an army in their new country.

Romans were quite fond of exile. But, yes.

Not everyone Julia. But you for sure. Treason? What you suggest, public hanging on Parliament Square?
-
Treason is no longer a capital crime
-
Only because EU membership requires complete abolition of the death penalty. Have you forgotten we are leaving the EU?
-
Prior to the Lisbon Treaty, in theory UK as an existing EU member could've left ECHR & reintroduced Capital Punisment while remaining in EU.
-
Treason made non-Capital offence in UK in 1998, was made binding by ECHR in 2004 & Lisbon Treaty in 2009 made ECHR mandatory on all members.
-
And we are not leaving the ECHR, of course.

You and your facts.

You're accusing someone who disagrees with you, of committing treason. You're in no position to judge anyone else. Remarkable idiocy
