So? The Treason Act of 1795 isn't and its section 1(*) of that Act that Heath, Blair and so forth committed offences against. It was this Act repealed by Blair to cover his greasy mandleson dipped hopefully poxed arse (**).
(*)'within the realm or without...to devise constraint of the person of our sovereign, his heirs or successors'. It is also treason to take any action which would 'overthrow (or tend to overthrow) the laws, government and happy constitution' of the United Kingdom
(**) No I really don't like Blair, never have.
