Former Diplomat Ian Proud Says UK Now Treats Diplomacy as a Crime

Original: Diplomacy is Now a Crime in Britian /Ian Proud

Ian Proud, a former British diplomat, argues that diplomacy has effectively become a criminal offence in Britain. The claim, discussed at length with analyst Daniel Davis, contends that British laws and political climate now penalise the normal work of engaging with foreign officials. Supporters call it a warning about the erosion of diplomatic practice in the West; critics are likely to dispute the characterisation. UK authorities have not responded to the specific claim.

Why now: The striking claim by a former insider that Britain has criminalised normal diplomatic work is drawing attention amid tensions over Western-Russia contacts.
