And long may this continue. It would be all to easy for the UK to
capitulate to US-centric business interests. A really good example of
what not to do is Tony Blair's extradition treaty, where we hand over
bankers accused of white-collar crime under a banner of "anti-terrorism"
legislation, whilst the US parliament refuses to pass their half of the
treaty on the grounds that Irish terrorists might be included in the
"war on terrorism"!
