What would happen in the event that evidence of a criminal act were discovered is an interesting question.
A constitutional crisis certainly.
Alanna 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️@simonzerafa @rbreich Yep, the British Monarch is above the law IIRC.
Narcissist@Ankitayadav @simonzerafa @rbreich Right and the "constitutional" law of The "United" Kingdom has been used by British governments to justify atrocities like torture, massacre, spying, making people stateless and indefinite detention without trial because it doesn't really exist as a written book of basic law.
@kelpana @simonzerafa @rbreich Exactly An uncodified constitution makes it easier to stretch interpretations without clear textual limits.
@Ankitayadav @kelpana @rbreich
The Human Rights Act 1998 is the closest thing we have to a formally written constitution.
Not that was it intended purpose but it covers the fundamentals.
@simonzerafa @Ankitayadav @rbreich and I understand it is being ripped to shreds by the current British Government.
@kelpana @Ankitayadav @rbreich
The currently allegedly socialist government isn't being very socialist. They are too busy trying to be more right wing than the fascists.
The actual socialist parties are likely to do well in the upcoming by-election(s).
