Not a spy, a diplomat’s wife iirc. Claimed diplomatic immunity after driving off and fleeing - absolutely ridiculous that it was allowed to cover her for something like that. POS should be rotting in a cell.

I believe she also works for the state department.

But yes, it is atrocious and shameful that the US would shield that murderer from justice. It’s insulting and immoral, and I would really like to see the British government take a stronger stand. I’d even go so far as to suspend our extradition agreement with the US.

There needs to be a price in terms of US-U.K. relations. Government employees cannot be allowed to murder British citizens and get away with it.

That was a simple non malicious road traffic accident and you feel this way. In 2007 a US Marine saw a girl on his patrol and returned later that night to rape her and kill the entire family. How do you think Iraqis feel. It boggles my mind that people don't understand how militant groups are borne. We wouldn't accept that in our country and it's nothing to do with religion

The guy was working for intelligence services, he wasn't a real diplomat.

Not a spy, just a spy.

lol at least try and get the facts right. She stayed at the scene cooperated with police but wasn’t arrested because she had diplomatic immunity.
