Initiate an investigation into Tony Blair for misconduct in public office
I originally attempted to start a petition for Tony Blair to be impeached. This was refused and incorrect reasons given for this. Impeachment was merely 'considered' obsolete but still remains in statute. The briefing paper to consider the offence obsolete was published 6th June 2016. Convenient?
Misconduct in Public Office
Definition of the offence
The elements of the offence are summarised in Attorney General's Reference No 3 of 2003 [2004] EWCA Crim 868.The offence is committed when:
* a public officer acting as such
* wilfully neglects to perform his duty and/or wilfully misconducts himself
* to such a degree as to amount to an abuse of the public's trust in the office holder
* without reasonable excuse or justification
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Criminal investigations are a matter for the police. Decisions about investigations must be taken independently of the Government or Parliament.
