He's a hero and worth more than any amount of any countries tax payers money.  What is an absolute disgrace is that Julian Assange is being persecuted, vilified for telling the truth and exposing the war-mongering criminal scum in the US government.

Tatchell is as liberal as anyone could be but is a ******** too. Could you clarify what the missing word is please? It's hard to understand what you're saying about Tatchell without knowing.

Phanerothyme   12 #90 Posted April 12, 2019 Worth noting that Blunkett signed a US/UK extradition treaty that, according to statewatch, "Under the new treaty, the allegations of the US government will be enough to secure the extradition of people from the UK. However, if the UK wants to extradite someone from the US, evidence to the standard of a "reasonable" demonstration of guilt will still be required. No other EU countries would accept this US demand, either politically or constitutionally. Yet the UK government not only acquiesced, but did so taking advantage of arcane legislative powers to see the treaty signed and implemented without any parliamentary debate or scrutiny." Assange has good reason to fear extradition to the US, without the due process and open court hearings that the Home Secretary was banging on about.

Assange's defence is that he has done nothing of the sort. He can only claim he is clean if he has not solicited or been involved in the capture of any of the leaked information hosted on servers for which he had overall control of.  It's the job of the US to prove that he knows more than he has let on, which is why they think it's worth taking him to court.
