We should never have entertained deporting that Assange fellow for reporting on terrible abuses by American forces. That deportation treaty is ridiculously one sided. We could not get the motorcyclist killer Anne Sacoulis back here - not for love nor money. We had to go through a complete rigmarole of 'trying her' by video link - her - safe and sound in the United States, and only that after a massive amount of badgering. US citizens are pretty much entirely off limits, but UK citizens are shipped out all the time and often for notional affronts to the US, by people who were acting here in the UK. The Nat West Three are one example and Mike Lynch who lately was acquitted in the USA after spending a year, tied up there, for selling his company, Autonomy to Hewlett Packard, who then got buyer's remorse about the price they paid, and used the US Dept of Justice to ruin his life.
How can the US have a man transported to their jurisdiction because Hewlett Packard didn't do proper due diligence about the value of his company? He was lucky and brave, because the usual thing that happens is that the DOJ make an offer - Plead guilty to this charge or we will try you on one with a thirty year jail penalty. Mike Lynch stood firm and won in a US court, but he might not have done.
That Labour Party treaty needs to be cancelled. We almost never get anyone sent back the other way, but many UK citizens are sent to the USA and their horrible prison system. Blunkett did this! No one is safe here. Blunket also signed off on that Labour Party bill on indeterminate sentences which has left people in jail for more than a decade for petty crimes. They can't get out unless they prove they are completely reformed, but there is no proper mechanism for doing that, so they rot.
