A Tory councillor has started a petition to make treasonable the act of opposing Brexit. Christian Holliday, member of the Guildford Conservative Association, is presumably so incensed by Remainers he is effectively seeking for them to face life imprisonment, the maximum sentence for the offence. The petition reads: Amend the Treason Felony Act to make supporting UK membership of the EU a crime. The Treason Felony Act be amended to include the following offences: - ‘To imagine, devise, promote, work, or encourage others, to support UK becoming a member of the European Union; - To conspire with foreign powers to make the UK, or part of the UK, become a member of the EU.’ Guildford residents voted to Remain in the EU by 56%. Unsurprisingly, a tweet from Holliday promoting his campaign has been met largely with ridicule.
