Apparently in China you can be executed for tax evasion.....or
fraud ....over here that could lead to some very interesting scenes in
Parliament but whilst I am inclined to deal harshly with our MP's
perhaps not that harshly

Did you actually take on board what I said? China has executed a Brit
and that is very serious. More than serious. It is so not allowed to
execute a Brit since we had the good sense to make capital punishment
illegal since the 1950's
British laws apply in Britain. Chinese laws apply in China.


I don't think it's allowed to execute a foreign citizen and I think you'll
find Britain is more than annoyed about this.

I am sure Britain is furious about it, but I'm also sure you'll find
out, if you look into it, that the laws of a country apply to all people
in that country - including foreigners. The only exception I know of is
people who have diplomatic immunity. Everyone else answers to local law.
