Before 1998 high treason was the only crime that still carried the death penalty in
the United Kingdom. Thankfully this has been reduced to life
imprisonment. This is good because I am about to to be rude about a national treasure - the common law royal Mr Stephen Fry and if
that is not modern day high treason then I don’t know what is.
Now I don’t dislike Fry, some of his output is very good, some good and some less so, much like
many people. I am not sure what he’s done to deserve the fawning, unquestioning admiration of the population of the UK, but that’s not his fault
and that is not what this post is about. No, I am wondering why Mr Fry has
not been arrested for drugs offences seeing as he has admitted taking class A
drugs in all sorts of famous places such as the BBC and Buckingham Palace. As
Barbara Ellen points out in her Observer column today Fry’s revelations are
certainly designed to sell his new books, but he is admitting to a serious offence and national treasure or not, he should surely be investigated for his
crimes.
