If true, then Mr. Gabb miscalculated badly. The U.K. is not America, and HM Queen Elizabeth II is not an elected President. What Mr. Gabb has done, is publicly insult the Sovereign.
Had he been astute, he would have described HM Queen Elizabeth II as a noble and good-hearted but too-trusting Queen, taken advantage of from below by scheming parliamentarians. She and her noble court have been imprisoned by the parliamentary pandemonium.
That's how one does it with respect to the Monarch. The way he did it, he burned his bridge. The only hope he has is the chance that no-one in the court (i.e., the ruling class) will find what he wrote.
I realize I've stiffened up, but what he did was not dissimilar to an American publicly calling a sitting President a traitor. Only, the successors to the throne are descendants of Queen Elizabeth. Mr. Gabb has zero chance of influencing Prince William once the Prince finds out that Mr. Gabb publicly insulted his grandmum.
Plenty of leftists routinely insulted the Queen and the monarchy in the last century. Who is it that is winning?

Obama like Senators Graham and McCain are traitors. They aided the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaeda in Libya.
To quote another Englishman, "Treason doth never prosper: what 's the reason? Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason."
I am an American with a First Amendment right and I dare.
