Dear All,

I've just taken 10 minutes to read through all the responses to Mike's thread. I can't thank you all enough for your support, it's quite overwhelming. It is a surreal situation and we are doing all we can in these last few days to get someone within our government to take it seriously.

Thank you again for your support and for signing the petition.

Neil

We've got your back Neil! Best wishes to you, your dad and your whole family. I hope this ridiculous mess can find some way of being sorted.

Shocking, we can't deport a known risk to security, but we can throw a man on a plane in shackles without trial, i'm afraid this country's become everybody's whipping boy, we've got a spineless government running the country. Good luck, stay strong.

I've just read this and taken the time to read as much as I can about it.

It Beggars belief!!

Words fail me to comprehend what is happening here.

Neil my thoughts are with you and your family, there's still time. Everyone here who's on Twitter or Facebook should Tweet it or FB it a few times everyday, it needs more coverage.

I assume David Cameron has been contacted?

we should all also send the link to our own respective MP's, even if a few raise it or pass it up the line its got more chance of gathering momentum

He 'could' be declared unfit to fly should he experience any ...erm, 'untoward' chest pains in the next couple of days.... I was thinking he looked a bit off colour :whistle:

Just sent to Norman Baker, my Lib Dem MP - he is usually pretty voracious in matters of principle, so here's hoping!

Sorry for the long winded post here guys , heres a mail i sent to about 15 random MP's be intresed if any will reply to me seeing as im not a voter , Madam /Sir,

I am not one of your constituents i am not even from the UK but i have
been reading with intrest the story regarding Mr Tappin ? Is it true can
you tell me that the British Government are just going to hand over one
of their own Citizens to the American (or any other government for that
matter) without very much evidence ? , i see alot of MP's are condeming
it but can i ask what is anyone bothering to do about it . I apreciate
you may well read the 1st few lines of this mail & say well if your not
a voter go away and dont be bothering me , but maybe you should see if
an outsider like myself per say is appaled by this action then how do
you think regular UK citizens feel , i am going to forward this very
same worded messages to some other MP to see if it will be read & if
anyone will actualy reply to me ,

Stop for a moment & ask yourself why would someone who does not know or
had even heard of this Mr Tappin before this story, feel strongly
enough to write to the government about it?
The answer is because what is happening here is WRONG & ye the elected
people have a duty to protect your citizens , Stand up for the smal
people please ..

If you are still reading this Thank You for your time , please help this
man .

Best regards

Bill Martin

Done, and I will search for other places to sign up to the campaign.

It is a sad day when OUR government sees fit to allow extraditions to the US when we don't even extradite certain people to countries where we have no agreement because it might infringe human rights.

Innocent of guilty (of transporting batteries?!), my understanding is that Mr Tappin faces incarceration before the case would make it to court. THAT is an infringement of human rights if I ever heard.

Double standards; protect non-nationals behind the banner of human rights, but then allow the US to help themselves to our people without trial.

Shocked and dismayed. The Gary McKinnon case wound me up, this is OUTRAGEOUS.

WAKE UP UK GOVERNMENT. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Petition signed and link added to facebook.

Tappers, I sincerely wish you and your family all the best.

Another disgusting example of the weak government we have and it's subservient attitude to the US.

Me and the wife have both signed and forwarded on via social media etc.

I've also wrote emails to all the North West MP's & MEP's (link below) to voice my disgust at the extradition and suggest others do the same. The more voices in parliment, the more action hopefully will be taken.

This country some time beggars belief.

Thoughts are with you and your family Neil.

the link should also be sent to every freight forwarding owner/Director as they could be in exactly the same position!
