The idea
This extradition treaty with the U.S.A. is a totally inequable and iniquitous piece of legislation which appears to be solely designed for the benefit of the US, in part to carry out vendettas against British nationals who have offended the US in some way(in some cases minor offences). This appears to be particularly offensive in the case of a British national who has caused the US Defence department embarrassment. This would appear to be a one-sided arrangement and as such should be scrapped.
Why is it important?
Because this country should not allow its own nationals to be handed over to another country for such minor offences, where the outcome could cause a disproportionate result – particularly to a country which has such a poor record of civil rights for detainees in recent years
