Russian airliner missing over Egypt

If that's true it's only fair we let Russia level Luton, Peterborough and Birmingham as payment.

If they are indeed British and are caught then I have no issue with them being handed over to Russia. We would expect the same if it were the other way around.

^ We would expect the same, wouldnt happen though ...

Doubt it would happen. All that would happen in an attempt to extradite them to Russia would achieve would be a few new houses for a couple lawyers.

Well they are both opinions. How are they dissimilar?

I doubly whether that would ever happen especially given the state of our current relationship or if human rights lawyers got involved.

Realistically the people who made the bomb aren't ever going to enter Britain again, even if they're British (and I note the source for this is the Express :\ ).

No need for extradition as it would be a short trial if the Egyptians caught them and no life prison term.

Of course its true. Russia's constitution does not allow this.

I think this comes back to home grown terrorists and the like. The mantra of live and let live is an illegal concept to them

The courtroom being part of the walk to the gallows, in fact they may as well walk into court already blindfolded with a noose around their necks to save time as they leave court.

They've got to catch them first and I'm quite doubtful that Egypt has the capability/will to do so.

I have a feeling the only way whoever this is will be reached is by JDAM/Missile or some black-Ops mission, either way, if they are found they don't have the life expectancy of a house-fly.

So if the USA/UK with the most capable intelligence services in the world still haven't found Jihadi John, how exactly is Egypt going find whoever committed this atrocity? I fear you're underestimating how difficult it is for security services to operate in areas controlled by Islamic State, which is why of course, their strategy is based on occupying land.

My worry is over. My Daughter finally got a flight out yesterday and I picked her up from Luton airport late last night. Phew.

A real shame that this has happened and I can see it crippling the economy in Egypt. Such a shame as it is a real nice place.

Glad to hear it. Agree it's a shame - the world is becoming a much smaller place.

Also glad to hear that Gregster. My Auntie is still out there and hoping to be home on Wednesday.

Good job you picked her up, she was at higher risk on her own in Luton

I don't underestimate how hard it might be to find them, I did say.

Like finding a needle in a stack of needles.
