A winning mindset....

[SNOB]

Not true on two counts:

1. Killing a swan isn't a treasonable offense. It is punishable, as swans on most of the Thames are considered to be protected by the crown, but has never been considered treason.

2. Treason isn't a capital offense anymore. The were some remaining capital offenses (treason, piracy and setting fire to a naval dockyard) but the UK abolished the death penalty in 1998.

True but they never changed the wording about the punishment.

So,If the Queen kills a swan she will be hung & colin will have to rename the river developement?

I guess we should be pleased he didn't call it Colin Quay

Managed to find this on Google

"It was also, until 1998, treason to kill one of the Queen’s swans - and the majority of these vicious, hissing white brutes in the country technically belong to Her Majesty thanks to a statute dating from 1186 (reaffirmed by the Act of Swans of 1482 and the Wild Creatures and Forest Law Act of 1971). Only the Dyers’ Company and Vintners’ Company of the City of London have any other claim to ownership, and this only to specific birds on the River Thames. So, a swan attacks your dog on a gentle stroll by the river, you hit it with a stick and it dies, you should technically have been executed."
