Its about extradition

Fundementally its about the ability of another country, in this case the USA being able to extridite a UK citizen without providing ANY evidence of wrong doing.

I and Gary are UK Citizens, subject to UK law within UK Courts.

I am happy for that. What I am NOT happy about is being subject to USA law, USA Courts in my own country.

I cannot change US law, US Policy, US Courts or US Judges nor can I vote for their government.

So I don't think it should be UP TO THE USA to decide whether Gary or any other UK citizen should be deported.

It should be down to the UK Courts to decide and decide based on EVIDENCE.

The USA have provided NO evidence and I do not have confidence that they can back up their reasons for extraditing Gary. If they could why don't they provide the evidence.

What should happen is that the UK courts should demand and require evidence from the USA and then decide if he should be extradited.

So I agree it should be with the (UK) Courts and this should be reviewing the evidence. But this hasn't happend and the USA haven't provided any evidence!
