Indeed! Beggars can't be choosers, and if I was a guest anywhere, espeically one to whom I was highly beholden, I'd be going out of my way to do everything possible to make my stay less a burden on my host. Cleaning up after my own cat and paying for phone calls would be givens, naturally.

Toxoplasmosis affects the brain and is caught from cats (crazy cat lady syndrome has a very real cause).

Ungrateful wanker.

Seems a good time to request him to vacate.

This sort of behaviour might indeed trigger an eviction of the ingrate.
He's no fool, so perhaps he's playing a game of chess here.

send him to Gitmo for being a complete wanker

The word prat keeps coming to mind.

Upon eviction he becomes 'involuntarily homeless', so the council is under obligation to rehouse him....sorry, not much of a chess player.

I expect there's a copper parked around there somewhere.

There was always one up the road from Finsbury Park mosque trying to look like he was undercover and doing a shit job of it. We always used to wave good morning to him.

WikiLeaks' Assange says Ecuador seeking to end his asylum

QUITO (Reuters) - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said on Monday that Ecuador is seeking to end his asylum in its London embassy and hand him over to the United States, but a judge rejected his lawsuit over embassy living conditions.

Assange spoke from the embassy via teleconference at a hearing in Quito of a lawsuit challenging the Ecuadorean government requiring him to pay for medical bills, phone calls and clean up after his pet cat.


He took refuge in the embassy six years ago to avoid extradition to Sweden in a sexual assault case that was later dropped. He remains there to avoid being jailed by Great Britain for violating the terms of his bail, which he has said would result in his being handed over to Washington.


During the hearing, Assange said the new rules were a sign Ecuador was trying to push him out, and said Ecuadorean President Lenin Moreno had already decided to end his asylum but had not yet officially given the order.


“If Mr. Assange wants to stay and he follows the rules ... he can stay at the embassy as long as he wants,” said Attorney General Inigo Salvador, adding that Assange’s stay had cost the country $6 million.


Foreign Minister Jose Valencia declined to comment on Assange’s assertion that Ecuador sought to hand him over to the United States.


Judge Karina Martinez rejected the lawsuit, saying the Foreign Ministry was in charge of determining his living conditions.


Assange’s legal team said it immediately appealed the ruling.


Embassy staff had complained of Assange riding a skateboard in the halls, of playing soccer on the grounds and behaving aggressively with security personnel.


Ecuador’s government also objected to his making online commentary about sensitive political issues in other countries, including publishing opinions about the Catalonia separatist movement in Spain.


The new rules were meant to address these concerns, Salvador said.


The United Kingdom in August had assured Assange that he would not be extradited if he left the embassy, Salvador told reporters last week.


Valencia told Reuters last week that the government was “frustrated” by the lawsuit and that it would no longer intervene with British authorities on Assange’s behalf.







U.S. federal prosecutors in Alexandria, Virginia, have maintained a long-running grand jury investigation into WikiLeaks, which according to one source includes a probe into leaks of Central Intelligence Agency documents to the website.

Just clean up after your cat and pay for your phone calls, you spoiled SOB.
You did the world a big favour, but you can't expect the people helping you stay away from injustice of US retribution to clean up ypur cat shit. FFS.

They can't "hand him over to the United States" he's in Britain.

When he leaves, he'll get his collar felt by the rozzers.

WikiLeaks: Julian Assange to be expelled within hours to days


Australian-born Assange has been in Ecuador's London embassy since 2012 after he sought refuge from extradition to Sweden.




Julian Assange will be expelled from the Ecuadorian embassy within hours to days, according to a "high level source" quoted by WikiLeaks.

Assange has been in Ecuador's London embassy since 2012 after he sought refuge there following a British judge ruling he should be extradited to Sweden to face sexual assault allegations.

Sweden dropped the case in 2017 but Assange remains in the embassy as he fears being extradited to the US to face charges over the WikiLeaks website's release of sensitive US government files.

A Met Police arrest warrant is also still in force as he absconded after being released on bail in 2010, so as soon as he steps out of the embassy's grounds he will most likely be arrested.

Late on Thursday, WikiLeaks claimed that a senior source in Ecuador's state department had told it that Assange would be expelled.

Good that both WikiLeaks and Ecuadorian officials announce it beforehand in case the British police was not aware of it.

If my experience of Finsbury Park mosque is anything to go by, there is probably a plain white saloon car parked near it with an embarrassed undercover police officer on permanent shift trying to pretend they aren't working.

We used to tap on their window on the way to the match and make sarcastic comments about how no-one would ever spot them.

that should be fun to watch,

^^
it's a decoy

Let's smuggle him in a hot air balloon, when the wind is blowing towards France. What are they going to do....shoot him down ?

He's been nicked.

if he had been smart, he should have left in the middle of the night before the public announcement

they probably asked him to leave quietly and he refused in his typical arrogant way

Cunning disguise but it didn't work.

Julian Assange: Wikileaks co-founder arrested in London




Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange has been arrested at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.


Mr Assange took refuge in the embassy seven years ago to avoid extradition to Sweden over a sexual assault case that has since been dropped.

The Met Police said he was arrested for failing to surrender to the court and following a US extradition request.

Ecuador's president said it withdrew his asylum after repeated violations of international conventions.

But Wikileaks tweeted that Ecuador had acted illegally in terminating Mr Assange's political asylum "in violation of international law".

What "theory"?

The blonde rapist spent months deliberately leaking GRU-supplied hacked emails about the Democrats.

Fuck the little Putin lapdog, now he's getting it right up arse like he deserves. That's probably why buttplug is so excited.

Som num na.
