Cameron’s collective govt need to see an analyst re diplomatic status issues raised on both sites.

There is a plot to hand Assange over to the US and the other snakes in the grass are in Sweden.

The Swedish sex charges are a joke, full stop. Put simply, Assange had it off/took advantage of a couple of willing political groupies who were later manipulated into regretting their actions.

OMG, he didn’t respect me in the morning.

So, big deal, he is no male role model.

Whatever, I predict that a new generation of Anon hackers will go after Cameron like a tong lord, and there will be a lot of dirty laundry there for a public airing.

This is asymmetrical warfare.

Dream on, Tai De.

Can they really not know what the effects of this will be?

I believe that the European establishment – not just the British – is somewhat disoriented, Foarp. They are lacking an ethical compass. The online edition of a traditionally liberal German weekly – Die Zeit – has published two articles yesterday: one that criticizes Ecuador’s political leaders, and one that suggests that the issue of the embassy’s status was “basically irrelevant”, because Assange will be arrested anyway as soon as he leaves the embassy. The remarkable thing is that journalists at the paper has a tradition of insisting on liberal values and on integrity. It seems that you only need to drop the name “Assange”, and all critical faculties gets suspended at once – not only in Britain.

It’s probably advocacy journalism of another kind. “Only free governments under the rule of law are entitled to break the law”, so to speak. A dubious trend.

Maybe the Ecuadorian government is shit, but at least tienen cojones.
