That's the first I'd heard of any UK politicians trying to help Gary McKinnon. The whole situation is an absolute farce.. What Gary really needs is support on the US side, if anyone reading this would like to get involved please message me and I will help give you information from his family with how you can help. Cheers.
It's easier to prosecute a "hacker" and portray them as an evil terrorist, than to admit your 'security' absolutely sucks.
