The issue is extradition not "sex crimes".


Metropolitan Police officers have been stationed outside the Ecuadorian embassy in Knightsbridge around the clock since June last year. It has cost taxpayers £2.9 million.




Julian Assange


 We seem to be loosing sight of the real issues here, and the British media and television are instrumental in leading the diversions. The fact of the matter is simple. The United States want Julian Assange in the dock standing next to Bradley Manning. It would be easier for Assange to be extradited from Sweden than here, therefore the objective is to remove Assange from the UK and get him to Stockholm.
If Assange has sex questions (no charges have yet been made) to answer, then the Swedish authorities should come here to carry out an interview. There have always been contradictory features surrounding the allegations but the smoke and mirrors created by the American, British and probably Swedish "authorities", have already succeeded in turning this circus into an "Assange is a sex criminal avoiding justice by hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy" story, which too many people in this country now accept as truth. The "cost to British taxpayers" is an un necessary cost which the government has incurred and is being used as an embellishment to the "hiding in the embassy" story line for public consumption.
There may be some element of truth in the allegations, and I certainly would be amongst those demanding justice for the victims, but let us not loose sight of the fact that this situation is not about sex crimes, it is about extradition to the United States for a “show trial” because the American government and its excesses have been exposed though Wikileaks.





 Ecuadorian embassy: London



 "The Ecuadorian government is concerned by the significant cost to the taxpayers of London of policing the embassy at the present time. However, we believe this expenditure could be avoided if the UK Government would provide the undertakings that the Ecuadorian government has sort that there will be no onward extradition of Julian Assange to the United States.

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
