... David Blunket was 'insufficiently sensitive', as Home Secretary under the late, unlamented, Labour administration, to how European arrests warrants would be used. He was right to impose them, in any case, according to him.
However, there are no surprises in the way these warrants are being used. It was made clear at the time that they would expose British citizens to the lowest common denominator that passes for justice in the benighted ex-states of the Union of Europe. It's not that Blunket was insensitive, it was that he didn't give a flying fuck, drunk on power, using the police as his private security force, guarding his concubines etc.
The Labour administration worshipped at the altar of Bruxellian power, presenting the hard-won liberties of the English as burnt offerings to their Bismarckian Baal. Their replacements from the other wing of the centrist, statist, Keynesian leviathan are 'committed to reviewing' our extradition arrangements. Hmm, tough talk, but Cameron and Clegg are both also committed to our nation's ever-deeper enslavement to the UE, so I wouldn't expect much.

Ta for link TT, much appreciated.
No problem. I saw the story last night, but seeing your post spurred me to cover it.
