It should never be a spectacle. It is a tragic accident. In the area of a court, charges, hearings etc. that can't happen. She is immune from all of that.

All of the UN nations have the same laws for diplomatic immunity. If you have any exceptions to that it degrades the purpose of the agreements. Diplomats have to be immune so they cannot be framed or detained as a political tool.

Many nations will sanction their citizens when they bring them home for crimes committed. In this case I don't see a crime, I see an accident.




Diplomatic immunity can be waived by the diplomats home country. This looks like a case where that would have been appropriate. If it was simply a tragic accident allowing Britain to make that determination would have made sense.


We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
