The case of Julian Assange has shed some much-needed light on this country's scandalously one-sided extradition arrangements with the United States.
They can get pretty much anyone from the United Kingdom simply by issuing a demand, while we cannot get anyone at all from the United States. Those arrangements simply need to be repealed.
There would of course be resistance to that repeal from within the disconnected parliamentary caucuses that bore the names, but very little else, of the two main parties.
Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it.
It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post.
I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
