FS @DominicRaab put a statement into Parliament on 20.12.19, the day #annesacoolas was charged, saying he had instructed his officials to discuss with the US how best to address the "anomaly" at the Croughton annex that gives dependants greater protection than US staff themselves
2/ Here it is hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2019-1…
3/ That conversation would go something likes this:
UK: Will you agree with us that no CIA officer's spouse should ever be allowed to kill us again and just walk away? Please, it's really important. We have to fix it.
US: No way in hell. Now what r u going to do about it?!
4/ 7 months on, Mr Raab cannot even get the US Govt to agree to address the absurdity (not an anomaly) that has arisen following #harrydunn's death. Were it to happen again tomorrow, doubtless the US would seek to take advantage of the situation all over again. Russian roulette.
5/ #HarryDunn's parents have been told that discussions with the US Govt in this regard are not going well. In other words, the US will not budge! It is time for the British Govt to tell the parents and Parliament the truth and what we as a nation are going to do about it.
