Rejected petition Bring back hanging for Treason.
The law changed under Tony Blair so treason couldn’t be tried. People of parliamentary responsibility can now put agenda before sovereign responsibility without fear of punishment. It’s not going to get anywhere I know. But it has to be discussed and will remind MP’s of our anger and disgust.
