    His point was that if the UK contacts a criminal living in a foreign country and tells them that they should return home and get things sorted amicably because the alternative of being registered as an international fugitive is worse then no one is going to say ‘they probably threatened to torture their family!’ they say ‘well that’s a sensible thing for them to do, better for the person and cheaper for the country…’

    This is a thing the British Embassy do, it’s a thing the Chinese embassy do - yet only one of them is seen as inhuman monsters despite the other having a far bigger history of inhumane acts and breaking laws in other countries - its funny James Bond when we do it, evil incarnate when they do.
