Innocent before the courts until judged guilty by a jury.

 

Which is why I’m delighted he has now been arrested and will face trial.

[dick dasterdly]

Pointless discussion?

 

It's very clear now that the brit. authorities wasted millions pursuing Assange because they hated the truth revealed by Wikileaks.  Please don't try to pretend that it was because they were purely concerned that he had jumped bail....

 

Assange and his supporters have said from the beginning that it was all about getting him extradited to the US, and this has now proven to be true.

 

Those of us on opposing sides will never agree with each other, despite the truth now being made factual.

"Every single other concern that people are throwing into the mix about Julian Assange is designed to get us talking about anything else other than the fact that Trump is currently attempting to extradite a foreign journalist for exposing war crimes."

I'd add that the Swedish 'rape' charges are nothing of the sort in the uk.

'I know nothing' - Trump changes his tune on WikiLeaks

 

It was a far cry from "I love WikiLeaks!"

 

US President Donald Trump has declared that "I know nothing about WikiLeaks" after its dishevelled founder Julian Assange was hauled out of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London to face charges, a stark contrast to how candidate Trump showered praise on Assange's hacking organisation night after night during the final weeks of the 2016 presidential campaign.

 

Well at least the heading has some truth to it.........he really does know nothing!! Mindless muppet.

I've no doubt they did ????.

 

I can't be bothered to look it up again, but seem to recall that it all revolved around not using a condom, and although they'd had consensual sex previously, he 'raped' her whilst she was asleep?

 

I'm a female, and know full well that no-one could rape me whilst asleep....

Anyway he has been found guilty...

Quote

Dressed in a black suit and black polo shirt, he waved to the public gallery and gave a thumbs up. He pleaded not guilty to the 2012 charge of failing to surrender to the court.

Finding him guilty of that charge, District Judge Michael Snow said Assange's behaviour was "the behaviour of a narcissist who cannot get beyond his own selfish interest".

He sent him to Southwark Crown Court for sentencing, where he faces up to 12 months in prison.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47891737

pressum the reason he was not sentenced at Westminster Magistrates Court was the judge can only pass a maximum sentence of six months in a Magistrates Court and was minded for a longer sentence so to passed the crown court for sentencing.

"Finding him guilty of that charge, District Judge Michael Snow said Assange's behaviour was "the behaviour of a narcissist who cannot get beyond his own selfish interest"."

 

I'd like to find this funny, but it just proves that the judge was anti-Assange in the first place.

 

Not that this matters, as we all know that judges are incapable of moving beyond their own bias.

 

It's only interesting in this case as the judge (on a 'bail jumping' case!!!) found it necessary to come up with "the behaviour of a narcissist who cannot get beyond his own selfish interest".".....

I suppose this guy could have done with an expert witness in his defence team...

Quote

Cricketer Alex Hepburn has been found guilty of rape after attacking a sleeping woman.

The ex-Worcestershire player assaulted the victim at his Worcester flat after she had consensual sex with his then teammate Joe Clarke on 1 April 2017.

Prosecutors at Worcester Crown Court said Hepburn "dehumanised" women, rating them in text messages.

Have to admit that I haven't bothered reading the article, but did the asleep victim wake up when he attacked her?  Of course she did.  Not to mention that he raped her after having sex with her flat mate.

 

How can you not realise this and try to confuse it with the Assange case??  How desperate do you have to be to conflate the two????

 

The swedish case against Assange is that he didn't use condoms when asked (and as a female I know very well that someone who refuses who to use condoms is not going to be 'entertained'), and yet she still had sex with him.

 

No indication of genuine rape according to uk law.

Very strange innit, btw this is much bigger than Mr. Assange and his sleeping sexual partners, this is about the sacred right to tell the truth, even when the dirty politicians don't like it.

I am sure I read that he actually did and removed it... (please do not ask me to quote, it was years ago I read that).

Do you keep checking???

I thought you to be more intelligent than to call a judge biassed when clearly by the letter of the law of the land "6.-(1) If a person who has been released on bail in criminal proceedings fails without reasonable cause to surrender to a custody he shall be guilty of an offence." [The Bail Act 1976] the guy was guilty.
