The new government is more centerist. They've also just received a huge loan from the IMF to bail them out of the economic hole the previous government left them in.<br />The irony is that had Assange been extridited to Sweden he stood a good chance of beating the rape charges. Secondly the very Liberal Swedish legal system would have probably opposed extradition on humanitarian grounds. Instead he chose self imposed imprisonment for 7 years, he how faces charges and possibly prison for jumping bail followed by extradition to the USA!

Right after the Mueller Report completed. Assange is an Aussie, so that may come into play as well. If he is sent to the USA, I'm certain he will be completely safe because he KNOWS SO MUCH THAT PEOPLE IN HIGH PLACES want to know. It's all politics.

It might be double-bluff with Corbyn. Whatever he recommends, the current government are going to do the opposite. Maybe he hates Assange. One thing I don't like about the U.S.A. is that they demand extradition of anyone from this country, but I am not so sure it is a reciprocal agreement.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-2574733910174027692019-04-16T09:36:43.612+01:002019-04-16T09:36:43.612+01:00Yes, as I said above, there's certainly a plac...Yes, as I said above, there's certainly a place for exposing political scandals, but not so much for (alleged) sexual abuse.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-33560105701197828252019-04-16T09:24:03.877+01:002019-04-16T09:24:03.877+01:00There is an awful lot we would not know if not for...There is an awful lot we would not know if not for him.

They do not want him for anything else. There is no evidence of any Russian agent stuff that's wildly banded about. He did Trump a service by revealing the shenanigans in the Clinton camp against their candidate Bernie Sanders. Other publishers notably the Guardian, New York Times, Washington Post, the Telegraph - the list is endless have published Wikileaks information regarding things Iraq, US election and Vatican pedophelia etc., etc. Are their editors to be arrested too?
