While you are right Steve, and Iains may be right in that he says he doesn't remember it - a very different thing from it occurring - it is totally off the point.

A legal hole exists. It is there and has been confirmed by the Ireland Supreme Court, whether you voted leave, remain or didn't vote at all. Everyone who is accused of a crime and has managed to get to anywhere in the EU may or may not be able to exploit it successfully, but they all have the opportunity and all of their lawyers have the legal duty to try if it is appropriate.

So the sensible thing to do is not to bring in irrelevancies like Guantanamo, or (to following the childish animal noises theme) bleat about 'bashing brexit' but to see what can be done to close it.

The thing that makes us most vulnerable to exploitation of this loophole is to pretend it is just some anti-brexit plot and so refuse to accept it exists.
