A group of
MPs
declared their intention to bring a motion of impeachment against the Prime
Minister for High Crimes and Misdemeanours in relation to the invasion of Iraq.
The charges are based on evidence presented in a report commissioned by Adam
Price MP entitled A Case to
Answer .
The report which is
co-authored by academics Glen Rangwala
and Dan Plesch
presents evidence that the Prime Minister deliberately distorted the
intelligence assessments available to him in order to deceive the public and
Parliament over the case for war, and recommends that impeachment procedures
are begun against the Prime Minister for this misconduct. In addition, the
report maintains that the Prime Minister's actions have destroyed the British
government's reputation for honesty around the world; it has damaged and
discredited the intelligence services; it has undermined the constitution by
weakening cabinet government and has made a mockery of Parliament as
representative of the people.
Tony Blair has
misled the people time and time again – this conduct cannot continue to go
unchecked. The Members of Parliament backing this campaign believe it is their
duty to do all they can to hold this Prime Minister to account in order to
restore the people's faith in the democratic process.

"I wish to see Tony Blair impeached and required to answer in the Court of
Parliament that he repeatedly and substantively misled the people into the Iraq
War of 2003 while choosing to remain in office when he is in clear violation of
the traditional convention of ministerial resignation."
Impeachment Motion - Conduct of the Prime Minister in relation to the
war against Iraq
That a select
committee of not more than 13 Members be appointed to investigate and to report
to the House on the conduct of the Prime Minister in relation to the war
against Iraq and in particular to consider;
(a) the conclusion of the Iraq Survey Group that in March 2003 Iraq did not
possess weapons of mass destruction and had been essentially free of them since
the mid 1990s
(b) the Prime Minister’s acknowledgement that he was wrong when in and before
March 2003 he asserted that Iraq was then in possession of chemical or
biological weapons or was then engaged in active efforts to develop nuclear
weapons or was thereby a current or serious threat to the UK national interest
or that possession of WMD then enabled Iraq to inflict real damage upon the
region and the stability of the world
(c) the opinion of the Secretary General of the United Nations that the
invasion of Iraq in 2003 was unlawful
(d) whether there exist sufficient grounds to impeach the Rt Hon Tony Blair on
charges of gross misconduct in his advocacy of the case for war against Iraq
and in his conduct of policy in connection with that war.
That the Committee shall within 48 days of its appointment report to this House
such resolutions, articles of impeachment or other recommendations as it shall
think fit.
With the signing of
the Maastricht Treaty the people of Britain were
given
DUAL CITIZENSHIP
-both
EUROPEAN and
BRITISH
The extra tier of
citizenship was thrust upon the people without their
consent -and in many cases knowledge.
The PEOPLE of GREAT
BRITAIN should be allowed the option of opting out
of the EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP if they so wish. The
GOVERNMENT will then be able to provide those who
have opted out with
BRITISH
DOCUMENTATION
-only such as
British (not EU) passports, driving licences
and other national documents.
