Ghislaine Maxwell's suicide will come as a surprise. Primarily to her.
But Prince Andrew is the least of her worries. In any case, he should go nowhere until Anne Sacoolas had been extradited to Britain.
And Julian Assange, 49 today, should be released in a week's time if she had not been.

Agreed. Leaving the European Arrest Warrant was a positive start, because there is no European country other than the Republic of Ireland that has our unique freedoms of a right to jury trial, the presumption of innocence, adversarial courts, an independent judiciary and common law (the very same Anglosphere freedoms being undermined in Hong Kong). America does have these freedoms so that extradition there is not in the same ballpark as extradition to, say, Romania. But nevertheless our extradition treaty with the US is one-sides; it must work both ways, or not at all.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think that they do have on the Continent? Or in Scotland, come to that?
DeleteThere should be no extradition to anywhere with capital punishment. That is a simple means of catching all the worst places.
Well, look at what they have elsewhere. In Italy, or Romania, one can be flung in jail for months without charge (and convicted by a corrupt judge without a jury). On the contrary, capital punishment in a free country such as the United States means you can only be sent to death by a jury of your peers after a fair trial with a presumption of innocence.
ReplyDeleteWhen we had capital punishment we also had an unarmed police.
Utterly delusional. Thank goodness we didn't have to rely on you, or we'd still be in the EU.
