I thought he wasn't even in the UK to be arrested. Did he go back?
Edit:
Brand has not been placed under arrest, the Met tells NPR. The agency says he was interviewed and then charged via "postal requisition" — a court summons informing him of the charges.

I guess the OP thinks he got arrested by mail since that's not even the article title.
You'll be hard pressed to find lawyers who are both competent and willing to directly lie to a judge.
Sure but shoggoths have a lot more eyes.
Dude actually looks like he could pull off short 80s jean shorts if he tried.
Exactly. It seems people really need it spelled out to them: he's saying protectionism works in the long term but they're old and will all be dead(a keynes quote "The long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead"). He's wrong though. Protectionism, which are essentially self sanctions, can develop an industry as much as not. Nothing's a vacuum.
I agree, though increasing snowpack seems to be the most plausible idea, though still a greatly wasted effort.
Florida doesn't particularly need cloud seeding(they get plenty of rain and don't need to increase snowpack on the mountains they don't have), so it's kind of a useless exercise. The places that do do it mostly seem to be wasting their time though. The climate change attempts to increase albedo and thus lower temperature are just research exercises at this point.
How likely do you think it is that he'll actually return to the UK to face charges? Or that Trump still extradite him?
April O'Neil has seen some shit in dimension X.
That's actually a good summary.
Everything's in soft focus with some aha song playing the the background as the grinder keeps grinding.
He wasn't detained either. He was charged by mail with a summons(postal requisition) and told to show up for his court date in May. In the US an investigative detention means stopping you in one place while in the UK detention generally only means bringing you to the police station and holding you for a charge. In the UK they call the former a stop. You'd have to necessarily be arrested for the later. He didn't have either happen. I don't even think he's in the UK right now(which is likely why they did a postal requisition for a crime as serious as rape without issuing an arrest warrant and starting the extradition process). They want him to come in on his own.
Supposedly they did interview him at one point but that's about it.
