          We should start a petition to have his arrest warrant stopped! He's spent enough time locked away on false charges!

          5 years locked in embassy isn't long enough for false allegations?

          If you're accused of a crime, is it okay to run off to an embassy for five years and then walk out as you've done your time?

          He wasn't running to avoid the crime, he invited investigators into the embassy and offered video link. Agreed to leave if found guilty!

          Because he would have been extradited to the US where he is guilty of treason.

          In the £millions. I think another news outlet might have done the calculations. Great to know our tax is being used to enforce a US warrant.

          There are consequences for breaking the law. He will have his day in a US court should he dare leave that embassy.
