As for your second question, you would either be arrested 'legally' as described by Ken, or alternatively kidnapped er, sorry, subjected to 'extraordinary rendition'. In either case, you would probably spend a very long time as their 'guest' at Guantamano Bay.<br /><br /> Ken Frost said...<br />"Bliar gave the US the right to extradite British citizens to the US to face trial over there (rather than be tried in the UK under British law) without the need for prima facie evidence of a crime. However, it is only a one way agreement!<br />- removes or restricts key protections for defendants<br />- signed and adopted without any parliamentary scrutiny<br />Under the treaty, the allegations of the US government will be enough to secure the extradition of people from the UK. However, if the UK wants to extradite someone from the US, evidence to the standard of a "reasonable" demonstration of guilt will still be required.<br />No other EU countries would accept this US demand, either politically or constitutionally. Yet the UK government not only acquiesced, but did so taking advantage of arcane legislative powers to see the treaty signed and implemented without any parliamentary debate or scrutiny."<br /><br />And they call this country a democracy! This is the kind of thing you would expect in a police state dictatorship. And what has Cameron and his 'liberal democrat' partners done to rectify this?
