While I think it’s unlikely she’ll face the justice she deserves, at least her intelligence career is likely in ruins. It’s hard to be an effective spy when most of an entire country a) is at least passively aware you exist and b) thinks you’re a complete piece of shit to the point the newspapers would know if you so much as fart. She still should be extradited and she still should be in prison, but in the whole heap of bullshit that’s UK-US extradition agreements we should take what comforts we can.

I’m usually quite the Atlanticist but in matters of extradition I think we should simply tear up those agreements. What’s the justice in the US being able to extradite autistic teenagers who’ve never set foot on American soil at the behest of MPAA and RIAA human scum, yet we can’t extradite a literal killer?
