Some photos from Thursday march by over 100 businessmen from the Insitute of Directors to the Home Office, against the US-UK Extradition Treaty,
The Independent: A pinstriped protest for the NW3
The Guardian: What do we want? Well, a glass of champers after the demo for starters
The Daily Telegraph: March for justice
Gary McKinnon also joined the demonstration at the Home Office, to show support for the NatWest 3, David Bermingham, Giles Darby and Gary Mulgrew, whose Extradition case is a few months ahead of his own.
1) Steps near the Institute of Directors
2) Steps between the Institute of Directors and The Mall. Is that Conservative MP Alan Duncan ?
3) Karl Watkin, the prime mover behind the demonstration and Shami Chakrabarti, Director of Liberty Human Rights in Marsham Street, approaching the Home Office.
4) The demonstrators pass by an insecure shambles, "unfit for purpose" and also some cable work in progress on the pavement.
5) Karl Watkin leaving the Home Office after delivering the letter.
6) Show us your papers !
The Metropolitan Police finally turn up, right at the end of the demonstration, and make a big show of examining the correspondence from their colleagues in SO11 the Public Order Unit, carried by one the organisers Melanie Riley. Another example of "intelligence led policing" and rapid modern communications systems ?

The Sunday Telegraph reports:
Any change in the Extradition law for the NatWest 3, will also help Gary McKinnon and everyone else.

What a lot of hot air. The guy is a criminal and should be treated as such. This website is little more than a publicity stunt in an attempt at manufacturing a media star for lucre. If he gets off his charges, there will be even more lucrative celebrity in the form of onging book deals, personal appearances and endorsements .
He does not deserve 70 years in prison but he should be accountable for his actions against NASA and his crimes should not be celebrated.
I'm certain you shills won't print this but at least I've had my say.

@ KTL19981 - this website has never supported or condoned any illegal actions or crimes.
Gary McKinnon is not claiming to be completely innocent, and is willing to stand before a British Court and be to be judged by a jury of his peers, under current United Kingdom law.
That may, or may not, result in him going to prison.
The Extradition Act 2003 and UK-USA Extradition Treaty issues which he faces do not just affect Gary, but all of us here in the UK, as the NatWest 3 case demonstration above shows.
At least you seem to agree with most people who comment here, that 70 years in prison is not a just or proportionate sentence for Gary's alleged crimes.
Your claim that
is utter rubbish, and could be understood as libel.
If Gary is found guilty, then there can be no
media deals in the UK, where there are strict laws against profiting from the proceeds of crime.
N.B. Gary has not been charged with any crime here in the UK, and should. like all of us, be presumed to be innocent until proven guilty.
Provided that you use moderate language, then we are unlikley to censor any comments here, but do not expect false allegations to remain unchallenged.

Under the US Federal Sentencing Guidelines, there is no possible way that any of these defendants will ever receive a sentence of 70 years. That is a gross exaggeration of reality. It would be more like 2 to 4 max.
