Because so many people break the law !

I think having played behind the back 4 today, Boruc will understand exactly how he needs to start bossing them - and let's face it, you wouldn't argue with him.

Unless NC has an ace up his sleeve, I'd rather stick than go with any of the uninspiring under acheivers being touted.

I wnder if the Norwich, Reading, QPR, Wigan, and Villa fans are debating the same theme.

No to McCarthy - he's from the same mould as Warnock. Hoddle ? Redknapp ? Benitez ? Nein danke. I wonder if the Don will pull a curve ball from the continent.

That assumes that the other teams around us stay as bad as they currently look.

2 minutes of madness cost us the game. WTF was said at half time ?

Do we actually have a defensive coach ?

My AV is flagging it as unsafe !

Is that Pompey maths ? "In 2000 I was 12, in 2005 I was 19".

If I had done the quiz 10 years ago I would have defo been in the Spanish camp.

On the Finnish - German boundary.

My youngest was discussing 'The Thick of It' the other day and came up with a new, and appropriate, 'Tuckerism' : a complete fuccess

It isn't a question of 'numbers', it's the 'burden of proof', the level and quality of evidence required to be submitted by one side in request of an extradition warrant served in the other. The Yanks expect to say 'we want him' and for that to be good enough to get their man, whilst we have to roll up with full documentaton and every i dotted and t crossed.

No.

Serious answer, try Google : your starter for 1 : http://blogs.channel4.com/factcheck/factcheck-qa-may-mckinnon-and-extradition-still-unfair/11673 And a letter from the US Civil Liberties Union to David Milliband : http://www.metro.co.uk/news/727683-uk-us-extradition-treaty-unfair

Because this case is an exception - the treaty is still heavily distorted to the Yanks' advantage.

According to Radio 2 this lunchtime they told their investors that they made 15% profit, and filed accounts at Companies House that showed a loss ! Apparently what they do, all perfectly legal, is buy their beans in Switzerland, then sell these on to Holland where they are roasted, and then ship them to the UK to make coffee - the pricing in this internal supply chain ensures all their profit ends up in Switzerland. They also fund their outlets with loans from their own subsidiaries in low tax countries, as the interest they pay is tax deductable. The final part of the equation is that 6% of turnover at each outlet is paid as copyright for the logo, although the rumour is that none of this ever actually reaches the USA accounts.

And what is more I suspect he was fully aware that he was doing so. He worked in IT must have known about the CMA. He has admitted under caution leaving the following message on one of the hacked computers : "US foreign policy is akin to Government-sponsored terrorism these days … It was not a mistake that there was a huge security stand down on September 11 last year … I am SOLO. I will continue to disrupt at the highest levels … ". ( Taken from the High Court judgement in 2007 - http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/2007/762.html )

This is the problem with cyber crime, technically two crimes took place, the first on this side of the pond being the criminal misuse of a computer system to gain unauthorised access to another computer system, the second at the point where the security perimeter of the US DoD network was breached. ( The classic conundrum is a scenario where a computer in country A is used to remotely access another in country B, and as a result illicitly transfer funds between banking systems in countries C and D - where does the 'crime' take place ? )

It's interesting to see the media reaction to this interpretation of the normally despised Human Rights Act.

If there is anything in the US claims, why can't he be tried here under the Computer Misuse Act ?

I wonder if the New Jersey State prosecutor saying he wants to "see him fry" has any bearing on the decision. Regardless of his medical situation, at the heart of this is the question of whether he was genuinely looking for data on UFOs, or acting in a hostile manner intended to cause harm to the USA, ( as the US officials have claimed ). I personally doubt that he's as good as the Yanks claim he would have to be to break into their secure systems, and it's more about them covering up their embarrassment at leaving holes in their network perimeter.

So, you've bought yourself a Pinarello Dogma 2 full carbon road bike, exactly like the one Brad Wiggins rode in the TdF - how do you test it out to find it's limits ?

The 'benefit' to Scotland of independence is that Alex Salmond and his band of minor political colleagues will construct themselves a power base and start to test their peurile policies in 'real life'. What happens if Scotland accidentally votes to secede but then subsequently fails to elect an SNP led Parliament ?
