"The U.K. would not stand in the way of any legitimate request to arrest anyone suspected of involvement in terrorism or any crime, but we would expect that arrest to be conducted through a proper legal process," said the security official. "That is by way of a proper extradition warrant."

It's this kind of BS that will lose us this struggle. The UK should have told SA we don't want him, go ahead. Now is 6 or 7 years after it's been fully debated in the House of Commons and been through the EU Human Rights Court he might be extradited. This law enforcement mentality is going to lose us this struggle. This is a war not a criminal enterprise we are fighting.
