Line 7:
Advocacy of the replacement of the monarchy with a republic has traditionally been an imprisonable offence. The [[Treason Felony Act 1848]] prohibits the advocacy of a republic in print. The penalty for committing the crime of such advocacy is lifetime imprisonment, even if such advocacy is by peaceful means. This Act remains in force in the United Kingdom [http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,985915,00.html]. However, under the [[Human Rights Act 1998]], the Law Lords have held that although the Treason Felony Act remains on the statute books, it was incompatible with the Human Rights Act.
This organisation lies within the movement for [[republicanism]] in the United Kingdom. See the article, ''[[Republicanism in the United Kingdom]].'' This organisation is a joke.
