Wrong - I'm British - a 404 is the HTTP (web) error code for 'page not found', which is the result clicking on your BBC link gave me. Nothing at all to do with nationality (although in fact Tim Berners-Lee was heavily involved in that protocol's creation - making it a British code if it has any nationality at all).

No if you read all that has been shown you, you would know that David Blunkett reviewed it all by himself as Home Secretary.
If you'd been paying attention, you'd also be aware that is not the review I was referring to, and banging on about Blunkett's physical disability as if it's somehow relevant seems rather tasteless. I'm no fan of the Labour party - and indeed voted against them in every single General Election since becoming eligible to vote, though living in an SNP seat makes that rather academic anyway - but you can't pin all of this on them.

I don’t think it was ever debated in the H of C, because the whole treaty was brought in the back door in the first place. I’ll bet your House of Reps had a day off laughing at the UKs gullibility.
It's not my House, as I point out above, and it's the US Senate which debates and approves treaties anyway. What "gullibility" do you see in requiring the same standard of proof to take a suspect from Britain to a US court as is required to take them to a UK one, anyway?

Why was he doing that???? was this one sided deal that good?
Since it allows criminals to drag extradition processes out for the better part of a decade even after confessing, and the independent review confirmed it is not "one-sided". You've also dodged my question: if still not being extradited a decade after the crime, having been through virtually every court in the land, is "too quick" for you or not enough court time, what would you want to happen before handing criminals over for trial? Do you think we should copy the French and shelter even the worst convicted paedophile scum if they happen to have a local passport?

Of course the US Ambassador would like to see this nonsense end - it's hardly good for anyone to have ignorant people spreading untruths like the false claim that the US won't extradite Americans.
