Patriotic Justice

Few things get Conservative Party gussets throbbing like a chance to apply the death penalty, but as long as the beastly Euro-wogs prevent Britain enacting its inalienable rights of Hangem and Flogham the Home Office is very sensibly attempting to outsource its little fetishes. A prospective agreement with the Trumpster administration, under the safeword-free conditions habitually favoured by British governments when dealing with the manifestly-destined, will permit the USA to imprison and execute British citizens without the UK being given corresponding privileges. It would be uncharitable in the extreme to assume that the whole thing has been scribbled on the back of an envelope in order to protect American hit-and-run drivers, or even to clear the way for indefinitely detaining a whistle-blower or two; especially as the Home Office has gone to the trouble of compelling the USA to provide "credible assurances" that British suspects will probably not be treated like American niggers. Also, the Americans will probably not be allowed to target people while they remain in the UK, so everything will probably be more or less fine for those who don't dirty their Britishness by behaving like citizens of nowhere.
