    Brexit means brexit.

    And if the UK withdraws from the ECHR, which the tories keep going on about, it’ll become even harder to extradite known criminals.

    Which means everyone can visit the UK, go on a crime spree safe in the knowledge the police are underfunded, then take the eurostar and enjoy your ill gotten gains without worrying about ever having to serve jail time.

      You’d still get arrested there would just be a lot of fucking around with paper work before you are transferred. I don’t think this guy’s wondering around free.

      The man was arrested by German police and held in extradition custody.

      Yeah, he’s been arrested so he’s not exactly having a fun time over there.
