Her Majesty’s Government is being advised to revive the laws against treason, according to The Guardian:

Renew treason laws to jail enemies of the state for life, says thinktank content Ancient treason laws should be renewed to allow enemies of the state to be jailed for life, a right-leaning thinktank has recommended. Britons who betray the country through acts of terror or by aiding hostile nations should be dealt with as traitors, according to a Policy Exchange report. It warned a wave of terrorists was coming up for release and claimed the country would be safer if they had been jailed for betrayal. Treason laws dating back to 1351 are now unworkable, according to the report; the authors of which included Conservative and Labour MPs. It was backed by the former home secretary, Amber Rudd, told the Daily Telegraph “the time has come for us to consider additional measures, such as those set out in this report, that we need to deal with those who betray this country”. Jonathan Evans, the former head of MI5, said the report was “timely and balanced” and Richard Walton, Scotland Yard’s former head of counter-terrorism, said its recommendations were “appropriate” for jihadists, the paper reported. In a foreword to the report, the former lord chief justice of England and Wales, Igor Judge, wrote: “If a citizen of this country chooses to fight with the Taliban in Afghanistan against British forces, his crime is more than terrorism. It is treason, and should be prosecuted accordingly.” The last person to be convicted under the act was William Joyce, more commonly known as Lord Haw-Haw, who was hanged in 1946 for assisting Nazi Germany.

Policy Exchange and Ms. Rudd seem to be taking the advice of ECAW’s blog. The following article was posted by ECAW a year and a half ago (visit the original to find the links):

But what should Mrs May do? I recently tried to encourage an English friend to inform herself about Islam. She said “Never mind that. What should Mrs May do tomorrow morning?” It’s a fair question isn’t it? So here goes… Unfortunately the very first thing Mrs May needs to do is to inform herself about Islam. Anyone who can say “The actions of ISIS have absolutely no basis in anything written in the Quran” has clearly never read it. It should only take her a month or so to get a basic understanding, if she is a quick learner. Without it the measures proposed below will just appear senseless or worse. So, first thing tomorrow morning Mrs May should order some books on Islam. I recommend anything by Robert Spencer, whom she banned from Britain for having said that “Islam has doctrines involving violence against unbelievers” (it has). But she also needs to go to the source. That means studying the Koran (especially the first nine blood-curdling suras) and the earliest biography of Mohammed by Ibn Ishaq. She should also sample the Hadiths (traditions about Mohammed), the mediaeval commentaries by Islamic scholars (such as the one by Ibn Kathir ) and a manual of Sharia law (only a few sections really concern non-Muslims). [NB unfortunately the manual in question, The Reliance of the Traveller, is no longer accessible online since the translator has since used copyright law to get all the various versions taken down. Mrs May will have to buy a copy.] She should then acquaint herself with Islam’s history of relentless warfare against non-Muslims, only interrupted by an interlude of European colonisation, and look at a map and notice the current insurgencies on most of the borders of the Islamic heartlands. She should come to understand Islam’s dual nature, on the one hand a religion and on the other a totalitarian political ideology. No one gives a damn about flying donkeys and parading round a meteorite in Mecca, but the legal system which claims authority over non-Muslims and mandates jihad until the entire world is converted or subjugated is quite another matter. In particular, she should come to a view on two questions: “Is Islam inherently and unavoidably supremacist?”

and

“Are we already in a war, that of global jihad, whether we like it or not?” If her answers are no and no, as they would be for the great majority of the population who have not enquired into Islam, then the following measures will make no sense. They will merely look like persecuting a particular minority, which they would actually be if applied to Sikhs or Jews. If her answers are yes and yes then these measures will follow naturally, to attempt to put a brake on the Islamisation of Britain. So, what should she do on the first day after her period of study?
