One usually thinks of impeachment as an American thing, but apparently the concept dates back to mediæval British law. Now it appears that impeachment may be coming home as a group of MPs led by Adam Price (Plaid Cymru) are attempting to impeach Tony Blair under a law last used over 150 years ago, but never repealed. Most of the eleven MPs involved are Welsh and Scottish nationalists but two conservatives are also backing the campaign. Boris Johnson, famously eccentric tory and editor of The Spectator, should help to attract some media attention to the historic impeachment attempt.

Back in the real world, it seems very unlikely that Price & co. will be succesful in ousting Blair, but at least it will keep the deceitful case against for war against Iraq in the headlines. No doubt bloggerheads will keep us up-to-date.
