Assange in London Ecuadorian Embassy Seeking Asylum
He is on £240,000 bail put up by a coalition of right on types including; Michael Moore, Jemima Khan, Ken Loach, John Pilger, Tariq Ali, Sir Phillip Knightley; magazine publisher Felix Dennis, Nobel prize winner Sir John Sulston, former Labour minister and chairman of Faber & Faber publishing house Lord Matthew Evans and Professor Patricia David.
@iankatz1000 Yes. I had expected him to face the allegations. I am as surprised as anyone by this.—

Oh well, it is only money…
UPDATE: This in from the Embassy of Ecuador:
Statement on Julian Assange
June 19, 2012
This afternoon Mr Julian Assange arrived at the Ecuadorian Embassy seeking political asylum from the Ecuadorian government.
As a signatory to the United Nations Universal Declaration for Human Rights, with an obligation to review all applications for asylum, we have immediately passed his application on to the relevant department in Quito.
While the department assesses Mr Assange’s application, Mr Assange will remain at the embassy, under the protection of the Ecuadorian Government.
The decision to consider Mr Assange’s application for protective asylum should in no way be interpreted as the Government of Ecuador interfering in the judicial processes of either the United Kingdom or Sweden.
Last month Assange sympathetically interviewed the socialist Ecuadorean president Rafael Correa for his TV show The World Tomorrow, broadcast on Russia Today. Ironically Ecuador has a poor record on human rights and freedom of the press…
aint he wanted for rape?
Not by anyone I know. They have their own rapists, thanks.
How much money has been spent protecting this wankers “rights” in this country?
I read an article where he snatched a blokes girlfriend right from under the unfortunate blokes nose. Assange walked away from her and when challenged by the boyfriend, immediately adopted a boxing position.
This cad deserves a good hiding-or better send him to the US for possible death sentence.
Option 2 please.
The one who deserves a spanking is you, for stupidity. Assange exposed slime and that is why he is being set up. Maybe you are some of that slime?
I’ve been very stupid, spank me!

Chicken noises heard outside the Ecuadorian Embassy.
Yep, often Guido is like a non pressure aware barometer.He coughs and splutters, sometimes entertaining, other times such as this……..NOT !
Assange was your hero ……but like the dead tree press you despise ( ha ) you now belittle him and abandon him to the US authorities. As a right winger, I say good luck to him ……….he did us all a favour by exposing the pathetic truth of modern democratic governments across the globe !!!!!!!
Shame on you Fawkes for being such a patsy and ‘dropping him’ !!!!!!!!! Showing your colours now Fawkes ??????????????
He is wanted for sexual assault
Do you believe all the propaganda put out by the Yankie government when they want someone bad enough?
If you start taking peoples rights away because of something you’ve read it won’t be long until nobody has any rights to take away. Already in the USSA there is no right to trial if you’ve annoyed some bureaucrat. In fact you’re lucky not to have a Hellfire missile through your window killing your family as well. Check out the facts before you flap your mouth and lose us all some more liberty.
So Mr Asshat ISN’T a nonce?
*confused face*
I think the word you’re looking for is Yankee Mr “Nothing better”
What rights is it you’re on about? don’t give us any of your vague bullshit about rights being taken away.That the trouble
Do us a favour and find something a tad better to do rather than boring us to death with your plastic paranoia
Talking about something better to do Y don’t U take that Hellfire missile up your doubtless rather large ass?
Please try to grow up, Jethro. I expect you believed fully in Blair’s ‘Weapons of mass destruction’ just as easily.
He’s a fan of Dubya, so he probably would rick, anything extreme right wing probably thinks that daft ex governor of Alaska would make a good president, the GOP would have more trouble controlling her than Dubya
Are 100% of rapists in Sweden foreigners?
Piss off! The fucker is a raping coward and should fuck the right off to Sweden to face the music like a man.
Secondly, he is a West hating traitor…hanging from Tower Bridge would be too good for the clown!
Finally, do you really think the moron would be walking around today if Uncle Sam really wanted to make him go away?
Mailman
You sound like a pubic sector employee, useless leech.
Well said , Mailman !
In my experience that type turn into wailing crybabies the second the fisticuffs starts. They’re too used to their tactics working.
I gave a Scottish estate agent a right fucking hiding in a pub toilet once. Fascinating to watch the gobbiness and faux-intimidating stances just melting away under my trusty boot.
By right ducking hiding I assume you mean bumming. And by boot you mean tiny knob…. Thought so…
Ooooh do fuck off and have a wank over at bigbuffedtwicks.com or some such you kilt wearing poofter!
You are Eric “The Groomer” Joyce and I claim my five quid.
Jethro, how does someone ‘snatch a blokes girlfriend’? Was she plastic?
I think you will find that he is worried about being nabbed by the yanks on some half baked Swedish allegations and held for years in a yank prison.
Be worried it could happen to any of us.
If the yanks were that desperate to deal with him, he would have been kidnapped or assassinated months ago.
I should think he has made “arrangements” for uncle Sam to get fuccked over properly with more truth if anything happens to him.
Foggy, some people don’t have proper girl friends they have blowup plastic girl friends, so that is what meant by snatched away, trouble there is they could be filled with the wrong gas
I don’t think that Ecuador is big enough for this idiot’s power-tripping ego!
Gangway ! Let me on that bandwagon before anyone else !
Ah but didnt he go all Pro Hollande yesterday ……….
Hope he hasn’t skipped a striking doctors meet to watch the footie.
He probably thinks they’ve won the tournament! Piss of Ed….we don;t need another curse from the left
I love the way you kinda took the credit for England’s victory there. Are you a closet FibDem ?
So Ed Miliband thinks the linesman showed good judgement. Doesn’t that just show what Miliband stands for. Miliband is a tosser.
‘Credit to all the players and Roy Hodgson.’
Haven’t you been paying attention ? There’s no money left.
Why is a Russian immigrant supporting England?
He wants your vote
Why is this unutterable shit, traitor, spoilt rich Hunt, torture supporting wank stain permitted to speak in public?
Is there a reason you don’t like corruption exposed?
I bet Ed has never watched 90 minutes of football in his life. He clearly hates freedom.
Hang on a fucking minute, lets just get this logic right.
So if a Burmese immigrant turn up on our shores that couldn’t speak any English at all they would be undignified, weak minded & uncultured?
Well…I think most English peeps would rather have this foreign lady living next door than most English “ladies”.
Self loathing racism is not a particularly attractive personality trait. Seek help.
Christ, I let ‘er indoors go out as she hasn’t been out of the house for ages and I am repaid with having to make my own supper!
You talkin’ ’bout us WAGS and ‘having a larf?
Jordan was never a wag, she was just Dwight Yorke and Teddy Sheringham’s cum hole for a little while – only Peter Andre, Alex Reid and potentially some Argie were dopey enough to marry the old slag.
Perhaps it’s due to the fact that she has an Oxford PPE BA and a SOAS PhD so plus her facility with languages. Or perhaps it’s because she went to a Methodist English School in Burma and not a crap comprehensive sink that Labour forced the majority of English people to attend. Not everyone can go to “comprehensives for the Labour nomenklatura” aka public schools.
And the London Oratory, don’t forget that one. Technically it’s a state school but all the pols come over Catholic to get in there. BTW, their annual dinner for old Oratorians has been cancelled. Anyone know why?
Very true – have nothing but admiration for her
What do you expect after Labour running the education system- civil servants, politicians ,academics , senior teachers , Guardian journalists( P Toynebee) since 1965?
Kin L. Aung San Suu Kyi at 67 looks better than most British bints at 27. What’s more she has not been touched up and all her bits are OEM parts.
Even I am tempted.
“aint he wanted for rape?”
Not quite in the way you mean, but no doubt a patriotic welcoming party for Ass-ange will be arranged, and his new long term boyfriend awaits in a federal jail cell in the USA…
It’s the Sash My Father Never Wore.

Very good.
Comment?
La saucisse a été caché auparavant
What a wanker.
I rather hope the Ecuadoreans do give him sanctuary, and I’d imagine the US do as well. Once he’s in Ecuador, he’ll be a lot easier to kidnap using some CIA squad and get him back to America, and as Ecuador and the Septics don’t get on very well, they can afford to turn around and the the gringoes to poke off.
I read somewhere that Ecuador has got an extradition agreement with the USA.
I read somewhere some hearsay anecdote and thought I’d repeat it in here
The whole thingies a set up so he can be strung up by the Americans.
AND it’ll cost the likes of Pilger, Loach, Ali and Fatty Moore some money. Win/win.
You are Jemima Khan and I claim my £5 and cheeky blowjob
Blowjob?
For £5, you’d be lucky to get a posh wank off a Goldsmith, and then it’d be Zak…
Would you want to follow Imran in after the slime?
If it was Ben you’d get tweeted as an added bonus.
For all you’re doing on my behalf, Julie old buddy old pal, fuck you very much. I’ll do the same for you someday.
Wikileals is NOT phone hacking. It doesn’t concern Tories or Murdoch so just ignore it.
Fucking right. Forget the bloody football. Let’s get back to Brian’s Inquisition.
Dunno why he didn’t just give the verdict on day one instead of all this charade.
LOL. Wonderful !! And the scummy Guardianistas will lose a load of lolly !!
Won’t bother Jemima – she has plenty of nice (but perfectly legal) tax avoidance schemes in place to keep the family fortune safe. Like all of her ilk, she likes lecturing the little people on how they should conduct their lives, but doesn’t believe it should apply to people like herself.
The Guardian leads with Assange flees from Tory cuts.
The BBC agrees.
Smug pillock takes smug pillocks for a ride! Ha Ha!!
Leaving aside the right/wrong of Wikileaks, the man is an egomaniac, a Svengali.
Heather Brooke (the FOI campaigner, not the porn actress IIRC) wrote a damning description of his creepy behaviour towards her, and I’d trust her word above any politician or Assange’s.
Dame Helena Kennedy on R4 Toady claimed that those who stumped up bail may not forfeit their money because technically Assange is still on British soil.
How does this square with Teresa Mays statement that Assange was out of reach of the British police?
Technically an embassy is foreign soil but once out side the embassy is UK soil so Assange could be there for a very long time, depending how long Ecuador will keep him there. There is a a probability that some very embarrassing information will be released should Assange be sent back to the US, his organisation has been very quiet lately
Is the Goal line official from Azerbajain ?
Dirty rapist! Should have his knackers chopped off!
Harsh but fair.
And the charges?
I’m available.
http://dogthebountyhunter.com/
How good are the relations between Ecuador and the USA? Any chance of them handing him over to them or a plane flying to Ecuador being intercepted?
Technically he has escaped to another country now so any bail payment should be kept by the court and any appeals should be ended. You cannot appeal against a case and escape to another country. If Ecuador rejects his application then he should be handed over to the Swedes immediately.
You’d think they’d tell him to fuck off otherwise any hoon could just turn up claiming they can’t be arsed to pay their rent.
Ecuador’s in with the Venezuela/Cuba/Bolivia anti-American mob, something he probably researched on tinterweb beforehand. I wonder why he didn’t seek asylum at 73 Gunnersbury Avenue, Ealing instead (PRK Embassy, btw).
How can he claim political and diplomatic asylum when he’s not a diplomat?
Can anyone accused of rape and sexual molestation turn up at an embassy and claim asylum?
Only if they have a big wad of cash,
or have buttered-up the President of
that Country on a Networked TV Show.
Assange should have taken Guido’s advice and bogged off to the Irish Republic and becoume an Irish citizen like B’Liar and Guido
Just give him yor fooking moneeeee!
I don’t like Mongdays
Blimey charlie I hadn’t realised what a bunch of angry chaps you are. Freedom of speech in other posts yet here you take a different view. Carry on sheep, follow your leader!
Nope. Sorry mate. Didn’t understand a word of that.
I love the way freedom of speech is trotted out to defend abuse of freedom of speech. However, in this case I fail to see what freedom of speech has to do with him answering a charge of rape. The allegation of rape occurred before the wiki leaks it got swept up in the whole debacle. Those shouting about freedom of speech seem to have forgotten that there is a possible victim of a vicious violent degrading attack. But I know that that couldn’t compare with the rights to leak sensitive information which endangers our soldiers and security forces.
A rough translation: You are a gang of fascist running dogs. Mr Asshat is a tireless campaigner for the leftist version of free speech and should therefore be given total freedom to rape whoever he wants. I read the Guardian.
Spot on!!
Spot on!
It’s kind of creepy to answer your own post using different monikers and pretending to be someone else. It’s the sort of thing the nutter tWat would do ad infinitum.
lokking at posting times is a clue.
The 240k should be used to buy some beer and porn for our soldiers, that would really piss the lefty mongs off.
If only he had gone to the Embassy of Argentina…
The man is a creep
Now I am free to go to my club again
Win
Looks like we are 240 grand up on the deal then.
Ferorro Roche time with the Ambassador
The charges against him stink
The yanks can be so unsubtle sometimes, they can’t kill him so they discredit him in a way that will stick whether they are found guilty or not.
Had some spook been a Blakes 7 fan perchance ?
Assange discredited himself, long, long ago.
Yanks unsubtle? Perhaps even they realised there would be a stink if they nabbed him, or even sent in a drone to wipe him out like they do in Pakistan.
discredit is the least – it is all the other dirty tricks like instructing banks to stop wikileaks funding and so on
clinton witch
My offer of bail was turned down!
£2,400?
No. That was his tax bill last year.
You have a mountain to climb on that line ……. tra laa (k2 geddit oh well Ill get me coat then )
I tend to agree with Zippy. The man has displayed the dirty underwear of those who promised us they were clean – skidmarks and all. Good on him.
Stop posting to yourself. It’s just desperate.
Tomorrow I shall join Rebekka & Charlie Brooks in the Ecuardorian Embassy in London.
It’s very close to Harrods as well
Tomorrow I shall be mostly eating sausage rolls
Assange claims it woz all Fatcher’s fault.
It IS all Thatchers fault.
For the period of 1979 to 1990 Thatcher existed.
For those of us spasticated leftward persuasion thats all we need to shout down any question, any argument, any issue.
Its bascially the law.
Thank you, Mr. Paxman.
But did you give orders to sack that man?
A Bit like ” Keys ” I win
The Red-knobbed Coot is sometimes found in Ecuador.
At any given moment there is a positive probability that Assange is in Ecuador (as I’m sure you well know). Sit down and wait.

Some of you posters here let yourselves down – with your preconcieved bias and agendas. The Alleged Charges are of Rape – he is guilty or not guilty of that; that’s it.
But why should the US be ‘allowed to grab him’. He has only done what Gary Mckinnon did – Embarrass the cfuk out of the numbskulls & boneheads – in the US.
Some of you people need to get your heads together … on “the bigger picture” – of states concealing secrets; states aka Commie Russia locking down “Lawful dissent” – such dissent being against States who practice ‘double standards’ – but who rally – numbskull members of its own public to back a bent and corrupted state. Numbskulls who rally to proclaim that their states’ ministers are honest and true!!! ….
Where is this embassy I am reading about ?
I assume the £ 240k bail money was being held in some lefty’s offshore account and is therefore outside this Country’s jurisdiction ?

Leaving aside what a tosspot he is for a moment, the decision reached in the Supreme Court on how to interpret British legislation (which now, of course, becomes case law), is utterly appalling.
Agree. His knobheadedness (in a manner of speaking) should not affect anything.
Well, quite. It’s a total disgrace that he wasn’t deported two years ago.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha The Guardians rapist hero runs away. The man who feels its his right to release secret documents doesnt feel its his responsibility to face up to his actions. What a wanker.
If he was a wanker he wouldn’t need to seek asylum.
But now even the Grauniad has turned against him.
Have they turned on Gary Mckinnon yet? Ponder that.
http://eyebeam.herokuapp.com/result/09bcd6f11543297baf01ef8e97885f1097be2382
Hmm. That went well
I’m assuming the rape stuff is a fit up by the masonic/p4/alien wankers to stiffle any knowledge that might scupper their master plan
Our men do not rape women, they just reveal all their inner secrets.
Assange and his mates can afford the best lawyers money can buy.
Why’s he afraid to go to Sweden and prove his innocence?
Because it’s a blatant stitch-up. God knows what the Americans will do if they ever get their hands on him. It’s difficult not to view them as the real terrorists these days.
Of course that doesn’t mean that all the countries that hate America aren’t adverse to taking the money hey give them. Unlike a lot of countries who call down the wrath of god on the States, it is a democratic country which has more laws protecting freedom of speech and do not stone people for puerile reasons.
A democratic country ? I seriously doubt that. They seem to have no qualms about fixing elections. There have been some very odd goings-on over there in recent years.
A damn site more democratic than many other countries. We have our own pecidilos in voting but unlike the countries I bet you support the politicians don’t hang on to power by use of an army. Both here and in the USA there is rule of law. People can demonstrate without being killed or disappearing. Christ we’ve allowed the most disgusting, racist and vile people to demonstrate and the most they can expect is a public order ticket. If given a choose I would rather live here or America than anywhere in the middle east.
Whilst I certainly do NOT support Assange and I know him to be a first class asshat and egotistical, dishonest dickhead, What you say about the USA is not true.
They are a military police state. They can take anyone and make them disappear into a lawless limbo, just like any third world tinpot dictatorship. The NDAA law passed by Obama, removes ALL legal rights from ALL Americans. Obama has the power to decide, without any sort of due process of law, or any fair judicial process whatsoever, who can live or die. Obama can order anyone to be put to death.
Some land of the free?
Their election system is entirely corrupt, broken and undemocratic. The GOP has repeatedly and overtly broken, not only their own rules, but the law, right throughout the primary season and continue to do so with impunity to create a fake competition for president. In November, Goldman Sachs will win the election, whatever the name or party of the president. The people will lose.
As for Assange, his partners in wikileaks left and took the code with them, because they felt he was a traitor to their cause and a total prick who deserves all he gets. They blocked him out of Wikileaks so he could not take further credit for the code which allowed people to leak “anonymously”. Which was only fair as he did not code any of the parts which made that work, but took full credit for all of that code himself.
Anyone, left or right, who support Assange, are lending their support to a charlatan, crook, conman and sexual preditor and will be let down by him.
He is not, nor ever has been, a “hero” for freedom of information. He is massively paranoid about his own personal data, which he guards very closely, and still held back loads of leaked data which he personally decided was not fit for publication, because it did not support his own personal political agenda to leak it. He is a hypocrite of the highest order and deserves everything that is coming to him.
I am proud to say that whilst I supported the initial efforts and mission of wikileaks, I have never ever supported Assange himself and was glad when they dumped him.
More evidence that America is NOT democratic:
The code to rig the election voting machines:
http://www.bbvforums.org/forums/messages/7659/82111.html
That is not true. Assange is not worth a bean, his Guardianistas protectors are the ones who can afford the best lawyers and given that he is now fleeing to Ecuador then one must assume the Polly class have dumped him.
I predict he won’t make it to the airport.
I was reading earlier that his(?) lawyer claims he has not broken his bail conditions because they know where he is! So a criminal can jump bail and live in a five star hotel in a nice sunny clime in the knowledge that he will not lose any bail paid?
The police disagree and he will be arrested at the first opportunity to do so.
Remember how Megrahi was blatantly set up?
I see the BBC is back to promoting homosexual teachers fucking children again.
Shut the fuck up and get back in your grave…
Must me innocent then.
Ecuador? With its special regard for journalists and freedom of speech? Good God!
Or to put it another way: “EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! Julian Assange IS a Hypocritical Piece of Shit!”
Oh wait… that’s hardly news, is it?
The Useful Idiots ™ (r) who put the money up, well they’ll whine and other people will fund raise and probably raise well over the £240,000 required. So here’s an idea. The rest of the money they can send to a rape crisis centre in Sweden.
Surely if the US want you the last place you go to hide is South America? Don’t the CIA treat everywhere south of the border as free fire zone?

What a wasted opportunity he could have hid out in Polly’s villa and wrote his diary from her broom cupboard.
Polly’s broom cupboard is of such a size he could have lived out the rest of his days there.
Surely you meant her maid’s broom cupboard.
I do not wish to offer an opinion on this issue, and that is my final word on the matter
The Pikey fuck Fawkes wants the world to be run by yank vermin
Once Assange arrives in the heart of darkness, otherwise known as the USA, he will never see the light of day again
Irony.
The excuse used by TPTB (State controllers) – to close down and tighten control on “the public speaing out” is that “If you’ve got nothing to hide then you’ve got nothing to be fearful of”
So how does that square with the US in particular its clear evident and oh so OTT “reaction” to wikileaks? It’s the ‘reaction’ to it all that nails those who live in glass / white houses.
Errrr because they have got something to hide like national security and millitary secrets etc you know stuff that youd expect a responsible Government to keep shtoom about
Thank God we have Leveson to ensure our press have the freedom to say what they like. Haha!
Thank fuck for that

For once I’m looking forward to this week’s edition of 8 out of 10 Cats.
I do not recall seeing any action taken along these lines in the papers, but if the Swedish authorities wished to interview him why did they not take advantage of the usual bilateral “Mutual Assistance” arrangements under which officers from the requesting country can seek permission to visit their “suspect” in the country wherein he/she is residing? Permission from the receiving country is rarely refused. Once these officers have interviewed the person concerned they can decide whether or not there is a case to be pursued and appropriate follow up action taken. If, on the other hand, they decide that there is insufficient evidence to take matters further, their case can be dropped – and everybody’s time and money can be saved.
However, there is clearly some political malice afoot in this case.
Or maybe the Swedes think they already have all the evidence they need amd that his evidence would add nothing or take nothing away?
Still, we have to bear in mind that the Swedes can be just as arrogant as anyone else at times.
As an Aussie I hope Kathy Lette lost money on this too. There was a vomit inducing interview on the ABC when she was saying his biggest fault was that he was “messy at breakfast”! Please keep her in the UK. If you judge Assange by his supporters then he gets the thumbs down from me!
You would tho wouldn’t ya? She is pure filth, nosh you off in the restaurant so you can get back to the important work of the crossword rather than listen to her banal gibberish. Just sayin’
is that her with the big mouth?

Npne of his sureties were not warned. They wanted, for their own reasons, to take on the onerous responsibility of standing surety, in order to ensure he complied with the conditions of bail and they did so following legal advice. The will have heard what the crown had to say about his flight risk at the hearing, and if not, been informed by his lawyer.
They had a bet with the state that they knew better, and they have lost.
Or theyjust needed their daly dose of guilt assanging (sic) which in this case was double bubble because they were given publicity for it too.
I’m sure AlJaBeebya will pay them all a coincidentally similar sum for something no-one will watch.

Let’s say the Equadorians give him asylum, which they may well not, but even if they do: How is he gong to get from their embassy in London to Equador? The British will not recognise his status as a refugee, and he won’t be entitled to diplomatic immunity.
The diplomatic ‘bag’ isn’t just a ‘bag’. You can stick him in a diplomatic c*a*r (a very big diplomatic ‘bag’), dr*i*ve him to the airport and stick him on a diplomatic plane (an even bigger diplomatic ‘bag’) and it’s off to sunny Quito.
I think the guy is as creepy as hell but the ‘rape’ charge seems to be based on some Swedish law whereby if the woman wakes up three or four days and decides that, on balance, she wishes she hadn’t shagged him even though she was an enthusiastic participant at the time then she can claim ‘rape’.
Christ, the jails would be full over here if women could decide that their one-night stand was, on balance, ill-considered/carried out under the influence of alcohol/wish-I-hadn’t-shagged-that-bloke-cos-now-my-boyfriend-has-found-out and decided to report it as a ‘rape’.
Assange has not been charged with any crime in Sweden

Dissemination of information and possible insemination via a broken condom goes to show that all leaks should be avoided.
Jgm2 admit it mate youve never had an enthusiastic participant
The WIMMIN would have it so.
He’s probably only there for the wikidrugs.
Julian Assange gives me the wood.
Then again, so did rendition.
Now here’s my rendition of an old hymn from my father’s kirk:
“Bringin’ in the sheaves, bringin’ in the sheaves,
We shall come rejoicing, bringin’ in the sheaves…”
Today I shall seek asylum in Chipping Norton.
Good Morning
Breaking news:
USA invades Ecuador.
Stitch that!
Assange seems a bit of a prat – trading on his celeb status to pick up the chicks. Does this mean he should be carted off tho the US to be water boarded and bum fucked – no.
I think he’s stupid, the offence that the Swedes want him for will never go away he will end up going sooner or later, while he fought his extradition he may have had sympathy, now he’s cost the people that helped him, as far as the Yanks are concerned if he’s peed off them come what may etc etc.
Two women in Swe*den claims to have been rap*ed by him. Don’t they deserve a fair trial just as much as him?
Complicated!

Very!

“Amid the claims by Mr Assange that the sexual allegations against him are an American plot, it has been forgotten that when Mr Assange went to Sweden last summer, he said he believed he would be better protected from arrest for leaking America’s secrets there than in Britain, and that Sweden would be the ideal place to base the WikiLeaks computer servers.”
Is Ecuador safer for criminals than Sweden and the UK?
Well at least Ecuador is not (yet) in the Eussr – or subject to the iniquitous Yuropeen arrest warrant conditions which demonstrate precisely just how much of a police state the whole of the Yuropeen continent has now become.
Lock up your daughters folks before some peeee brained tit in Romania takes a fancy to one of them and issues such a warrant which MUST be executed by the receiving country with no further legal intervening legal process.
You have been warned.
Let us not forget, Assange has not been charged with any crime in Sweden
Mrs Khan claims to be ‘surprised’ by this development. Well that just shows how stupid you are.
Headline: “Person who believes in magic invisible skyfáiry turns out to be a bit thick and gullible.”
Fascinating. Has he run because he fears conviction in Sw e d e n or is it because he thinks the Swedes are acting as secret agents for the Yanks and he will be deported to the U S of A?
I suspect it’s the latter. If I was looking for asylum think I’d want somewhere more comfortable that amazonian ec ua dor.
The President of Ecuador had already offered him refuge two years or so back. They may not be so keen now. Whereas I do not hold a particular brief for the rather seedy Assange, I am hugely concerned at the way America unilaterally regards its law as valid and enforceable worldwide. The Founding Fathers would surely not have approved.
Yes. Am er ic an underhand aggression here does seem to be the driving factor.
RT isn’t a bad source of news, as long as you don’t mind waking up from the matrix and having your nice secure little bubble shattered.
War by yet another means.
Of all the embassies in all the world you have to walk into mine.
No need to panic Your Excellency. Just pass the request back to Quito where some poor little uninformed slob will have to make a decision. All you have to do is arrange safe passage twixt London and Quito. Who knows, you might even end up with another gong to hang on your jacket.
Noticed the visual similarities between Assange and Breivik?
Both foreign?
Arms, legs, two eyes, nose and a mouth. Good Lord, it’s practically the same person!
An uncanny likeness
Both creepy albinos with piggy staring eyes and an inflated sense of their own self importance.
Are you suggesting that the UK should apply for the extradition of Mr B? Do you think he could make any positive contribution to the daily life of the indiginous natives?
I am delighted to announce that “Wham” will be re-forming to celebrate 30 years of the group forming.
Hat-tip to George Micheal .
30 Years of hits for George Michael, the last one being that cornershop wall.
and wasn’t his last release down the back of some public toilet door?
“Sir Phillip Knightley” – when was that buffoon knighted?
Google is the word you seek.
Which tells me that he was awarded the Order of Australia but is not one of the two living knights of Australia which would seem to make him plain Phillip Knightley. £20,000 lighter one hopes.
He He! It looks like Guido has a covert fan club in the Beeb………. R4 quoted him this morning……… but claimed the quote as theirs……….
Surely that should read “Wanted for Swede jumping” ?
Bugger the Vienna convention, send in the boot boys and extract Assange and stick him on a plane to Washington DC.
As for the bailee’s, they owe, they owe, they owe and they will pay.
Put him on a flight to Quito – since there are no direct ones the flight via Miami should be the most direct!
Ah, politics at it’s tribal worst.
Because some lefties put up Assange’s bail money – it means he has to be a hate figure for the right!
Christ, how depressing.
So all the right can see is bad in Assange; totalling ignoring the fact that what Wilileaks has revealed in the nefarious goings on of certain countries is classic right wing libertarianism at it’s best.
No wonder we never get anywhere with anything if acting like squabbling schoolboys is the level of sophistication at which debate is dealt with.
I thought Guido was a liberatarian. But you don’t have to look very far to see in him and his cronies the same knuckle headed triabalism you see in 99% of the political class.
Free Bradley Manning.
Free Beer !!!!
Click My Name !!!!
IS this about anal?
Are they also tax avoiders? Would be funny if they were. David cameron wouldn’t know whether to laugh or cry!
Imagine being stuck in a lift with Michael Moore, Ken Loach, John Pilger and Tariq Ali.
I think I would top myself.
Jemima Khan, on the other hand ……..
If the yanks do ever get their hands on him, maybe they can crucify him – it will appeal to his messianic complex.
It has to be the ultimate pose, the Last Prank before the Gates Clang.
He must know that whatever the Ecuadoreans do they can’t get him to Ecuador. He might just reach an Embassy car and get to the airport – but then he has to get out . . . and Mr Plod will be waiting.
Silly bugger.
Coombah Ya M’Lordy

in Australia we use YouTube to identify “HOONS”
then we can deal with them appropriately
you POHMs are too slow about dealing with
Hoons, and Huhnes. That’s two of them
you’ve had in government now.
