So, I can lock myself in a room for three years and then get the UN to declare someone else locked me up. Ha ha ha ha!

Exactly Chris, John as usual defends the R soles of the world? Assange is a bail jumping narcissist lacking normal human values and any trace of empathy for all those he uses up or places in harm's way, fleeing his earned day in court and justice!

What is they say, birds of a feather flock together. How appropriate, an unconscionable R sole defending an unconscionable R sole. Oh my aching ribs!

In Assange's defence,

Why do all the rednecks keep picking on Assange ? The man's an obvious genius, he's done so much for the world, and surely there are some people who should be immune from such trivial charges as sexual assault and rape [on Swedish girls, for god's sake, who cares?], and allowed to keep doing their good works.

He might be a slimy bastard but he's OUR slimy bastard.

But maybe one has to be careful trying to be ironic. I look forward to him being on the next plane to Stockholm. Another irony: if he had done his time for rape, he would be probably out by now, free to get his hands on other innocent young women fighting for the cause.

Bilger's sort of hero.

Cheers,

Joe

Amazing isn't it?

THe UN says there is no cause for his detention, yet the slimey toff Cameron still wants to spend millions harrassing him, for doing no worse than telling the truth.

He showed up the oligarchy and it is unforgiving of whistleblowers who report on what really goes on behind the spin and image making.

Yes Joe and Rhrosty

To be blessed by Pilger git makes all those years of palatial self imprisonmernt worthwhile.

Master Julian Assange, being above the law that governs us mere mortals, has now managed to make himself a UN cause. This certainly boosts the UN's credibility.

Those poor London Bobbies noted that even poorer Julian still gets visits from hot barely legals seeking a tryst in his little digs.

Meanwhile poor "Chelsea" Manning, enticed by Julian's Wikileaks to leak 100,000s of documents, rots in a real gaol, for no result.

Loudmouth, nobody deserves to be immune from charges of rape, but surely everyone deserves to be immune from trumped up charges whatever the allegation?

Did you read the article? If he'd been jailed in Sweden, they'd have extradited him to the USA. He certainly wouldn't be out by now, and possibly wouldn't ever.
