Miliband The Elder's Terrible Twosome: Torture and Treason

So, we're on the eve of discovering which of the two Milband brothers the Labour Party (vomit) has chosen as it's new leader.

This is the person who will become Her Majesty's Leader of the Opposition.

Doesn't it say a lot about the way our country is governed when one of the two - David Miliband - has two of the most serious allegations possible against his name?

Let's start with today's report in The Guardian. We make no assertion of our own. We'll quote the newspaper verbatim, then you can read the article and decide what you feel about it for yourself.

It says: "David Miliband gave MI6 the green light to proceed with intelligence-gathering operations in countries where there was a possible risk of terrorism suspects being tortured, the Guardian has learned."

Here is the rest of the story.

There cannot be anything more serious nor more repugnant to humanity than torture. I do not care what anybody has been suspected of doing; we do not torture. If the human animal has become civilised, it is something that is just not acceptable. It is repugnant on any level of humanity.

We make no allegation against David Miliband - all the question marks next to his name are carried in that article in The Guardian. Read it and judge it for yourself.

The other high crime where we do openly accuse David Miliband is on the matter of treason.

Again, we'll tell you why we say it - read it for yourself.

We know that David Miliband had involvement in discussions leading up to the signing of the Lisbon Treaty. We know that he signed the ruddy thing. We know from places such as the German Constitutional Court which examined this question that a huge and overwhelming percentage of domestically imposed laws now originate with the European Empire and - short of leaving the EU - there is nothing that our Parliament can do about any of them.

Well, what does treason have to do with this?

Here is the case, as set out by the Treason Felony Act 1848.

It says that the high crime of treason - punishable by life imprisonment - will have been committed when someone has acted to: "compass, imagine, invent, devise, or intend" to "put any force or constraint upon or in order to intimidate or overawe both Houses or either House of Parliament."

Now, the agents colluded with in order to commit those acts do not have to be a "foreigner or stranger" - though, coupled with the national written constitutional document of the Bill of Rights 1689 which quite clearly states that "...no foreign prince, person, prelate, state or potentate hath or ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence or authority, ecclesiastical or spiritual, within this realm." - then one might have thought the case was quite a strong and serious one.

But no. He may well become Leader of Her Majesty's Opposition tomorrow.

Yet if you drop a cigarette end on the floor, you could end up in prison.

And that, ladies and gents, is why this country is in the awful ruddy state that it is in.

The ruling elite - career politicians - now govern over us with impunity.
