No it is not treason in the UK.
Treason is such things as waging war upon the crown, or having affairs with certain royals. It is not extended to protecting foreign rulers.

And living in the UK may be a privilege, but it is actually my right.
You mean to tell me that it's treason to bang a royal?
There are five areas of offense.

"when a man doth compass or imagine the death of our lord the King, or of our lady his Queen or of their eldest son and heir";
"if a man do violate the King’s companion, or the King’s eldest daughter unmarried, or the wife of the King’s eldest son and heir";
"if a man do levy war against our lord the King in his realm, or be adherent to the King’s enemies in his realm, giving to them aid and comfort in the realm, or elsewhere"; and
"if a man slea the chancellor, treasurer, or the King’s justices of the one bench or the other, justices in eyre, or justices of assise, and all other justices assigned to hear and determine, being in their places, doing their offices".
Another Act, the Treason Act 1702 (1 Anne stat. 2 c. 21), provides for a fifth category of treason, namely:

"if any person or persons ... shall endeavour to deprive or hinder any person who shall be the next in succession to the crown ... from succeeding after the decease of her Majesty (whom God long preserve) to the imperial crown of this realm and the dominions and territories thereunto belonging".

Don't you dare try to even pass him off as a mediocre human being, nevermind trustworthy in any sense of the word. That man is endlessly full of shit.

Joe Walsh (from The Eagles) he ran for president in 1980 and I trust him to tell the truth because at this point his brain is way to fried for him to come up with any good lies. :P :P :lol: :lol:

Was President Clinton ever disbarred for lying under oath? Because, you know, that's kind of a serious offense for lawyer-types.

Really - I guess bland and trustworthy equate?!

I choose Boris Johnson - he's hilarious. Maybe Gaddafi, too, he doesn't seem to hold back, I trust him implicitly. And King Sam, he's an honest chap.

I might trust him to tell the truth usually.

But I wouldn't trust him to post a letter.

I can see Sarah Palin as trustworthy. However, as close attention as I pay, I don't know enough about her and haven't been exposed to her long enough. Too soon for me to agree with that
You mean, like abusing her power in Alaska to have that State Trooper fired? Yeah, really trustworthy.

I actually trust Danny Williams, the Premier of my province to tell the truth. He's got a bad wrap for taking aggressive stances against deals that don't necessarily do NFLD justice and he's very straightforward. Not to mention he was also a lawyer before going into politics. He may still be involved.

I would vote for Danny Williams. The man's got balls, standing up to Abitibi-Bowater for the good of his constituents.

I don't think he does either.

Also, hasn't Governor Schwarzenegger proven to be trustworthy?

And just being accused of being a liar (like that fuckwit in Congress did to the President) doesn't mean someone is no longer trustworthy. Pundits love to claim lies when it's really just misunderstanding, or willful misinterpretation by the opposition.
