MPs plan to use a new tactic to stop the torrent of junk e-mail spam that floods in from overseas: extradite the mass-mailers and bring them to trial in the United Kingdom.

Interesting. You never know. Not sure if they would get much luck, I mean they could not extradite the great train robbers due to location so as a spammer you would pick a non extradition country.

It is good they are thinking about this, perhaps someone serious has been spammed ;)

i have heard of people being smuggled into the developed nations. when asked why they do it, they say even the jails of these countries are preferable to the hell we live in.

I guess this means they will no longer have to try to "smuggle" in via over heated trucks or ships. Just spam some big shot , make sure you are easily traced. And hitch ride by airplane and free food and stay for a couple of years. Courtesy: The British Tax payer.
