The Measures Or Conduct

One can easily imagine the ghastly mid-Atlantic accents of those who are proposing a British version of the Logan Act, under which nobody has been indicted since 1852 and nobody has ever been convicted at all. In fact, some of us do not need to imagine their ghastly mid-Atlantic accents.

For behind Andrea "Wouldn't Have Been Selected If They'd Thought She Might Win" Jenkyns, who would have lost her seat back to Ed Balls if he had put up in 2017, is the Henry Jackson Society. Unlike Jenkyns, the stalwarts of the HJS know perfectly well that the United Kingdom is still part of the EU, so that it is not a foreign power. 

Yet they do not seem to have worked out that they themselves, and the politicians of whom they most approved, would be liable to prosecution under this legislation for their dealings with the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, plus any Guaidó regime that might eventually be installed in Venezuela. Notice the oiliness. Anything but the return to this country's vast reserves of coal.

Indeed, such prosecutions would be necessary only because we were squeamish about treason trials, which would be at least as appropriate. Either way, though, we would be talking about the removal of a huge proportion of our Political Class. Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. A new party is now in the process of registration.

After nearly 30 years of suggestion, speculation, and even a sort of preparation, I will stand for Parliament here at North West Durham. The crowdfunding page is here, and buy the book here. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
