“ The most interesting part of the Queen's Speech: major new espionage legislation is coming, will include extraterritorial elements for terror offences. Could look like a new Treason Act / the US’s Foreign Agents Registration Act.”
BoJo has mooted the idea of bringing back the Praemunire Act, which was abolished by Edward Heath's Tory government back in the early 1970s when the UK joined the EU.
Broadly speaking, Praemunire, which was formerly a sort of half-way house between a felony and treason, is the the offence of obeying, while under UK jurisdiction, or actively supporting and furthering any conflicting jurisdiction of foreign powers or potentates.
In times past it was mostly directed against Catholics obeying the Pope in preference to the Sovereign and UK laws. But a classic example in modern times would be those fecking Remainer plotters sneaking off to Brussels and trying behind the scenes to sabotage and undermine Teresa May and Johnson's Brexit negotiations.
May sound absurd today, but only a small disparity in relative reproduction rates between indigenous French and Muslim immigrants, if it continues, will slowly but surely lead the latter before too long to become a majority.
