The British Government has proven once again what a cowardly. gutless administration it is and how far it will stoop to grovelling to keeping the Americans happy. Gary McKinnon, who has Asperger’s Syndrome, has failed in his attempt to stop his extradition to the United States to be tried for hacking into nine Pentagon computer systems. His legal team worked tirelessly to convince Home Secretary Alan Johnson that it would be detrimental to his physical and psychological well being for him to be subjected to the level of persecution that the US officials are aiming at him – with a very real possibility of decades in a US prison as a penalty.
Alan Johnson turned down his bid to remain in the UK and face trial on home soil – remembering that his so-called ‘crimes’ were committed on British soil and so he should be tried in the UK – and has refused to stop his extradition to the United States. This man, who has a form of autism, hacked into defence computer systems in his hunt for information about aliens and UFO’s and is hardly representing a major danger to the public and yet his crime will be tried as something on par with espionage and terrorism.
Where are Gary McKinnon’s Human Rights…? where is the Home Office’s responsibility to protecting an extremely vulnerable British citizen who is still living on British soil…?
This man is a European citizen and he HAS rights as such. This has to be considered as an ultimate betrayal of a British citizen in his own country when you consider that the likes of the one-eyed, hook-handed Muslim hate preacher Abu Hamza has successfully managed to remain in the United Kingdom for years despite efforts to deport him and using taxpayers money to fund his legal expenses. Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber, was tried and sentenced in Scotland even though he blew up an American aircraft – he was not extradited to the US. It seems that British citizens matter the least to their own government these days – and it aims clearly to keep the Americans happy and placated at all costs.
