I'm not little and i'm not sad, my self esteem seems ok to all that know me.
Look into your mirror, change right to left and then your post to me may make sense.
Have a nice day.

Fucking hell bro', what is it you are smoking ?,
The stuff i'm on aint that strong.

The fucking leach has cost us UK taxpayers another £3 K today.
A bullet is only 50p. - no logic here.

For those who still beleive Sweden has no previous form on extradition.

"Why does Assange and others fear that Sweden would repatriate him to the United States, where he could face the rest of his life in jail, even execution for publishing leaked official documents? Because in November 2006 the United Nations found Sweden guilty of violating the global torture ban. Swedish officials handed over Mohammed El Zari and Ahmeed Agiza, two Egyptian asylum seekers, to CIA operatives in December 2001, to be rendered from Stockholm to Cairo. Both were tortured in Egypt. And, as Seamus Milne wrote in the Guardian, because of reports of a secret indictment against Assange by a U.S. federal grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia."

Where are you getting these numbers from? The UK does not need to be spending any money on him.

But your wish to kill him has been noted, several times.

he's been counting the policemen and adding up their overtime pay

Assange arrest plan revealed

Assange arrest plan revealed

Foreign office has since scotched this, no doubt some red faced Bobbies around.

The later article below also perhaps reveals some of the motives Equador may have for sticking it's nose into this affair? Revenge for Pinochet?

BRITAIN has withdrawn a threat to enter Ecuador's embassy in London to arrest WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, President Rafael Correa says.
Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa said he believed his country had overcome a diplomatic spat with Britain over its threat to enter the Ecuadoran Embassy in London in order to arrest WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
"We believe that this unfortunate incident is over," said Correa."It was a mistake for the British Foreign Office to say that they would enter our embassy."
"It's good that the United Kingdom has given up its threat.
"Now we act as if we never received it. We must seek a mutually acceptable solution of the case of Julian Assange through dialogue."
The president added that he was glad the two countries "were returning to the path of dialogue and were looking for a consensual solution without abandoning our principles."

The 34-member Organisation of American States declared "solidarity and support" for Ecuador on Friday, rejecting "any attempt that might put at risk the inviolability of the premises of diplomatic missions".
In an earlier interview with the British newspaper The Sunday Times, Correa said that the sex crime allegations against the WikiLeaks founder were "not a crime in Latin America" and had played no part in Quito's decision to grant Assange asylum.
He also blasted the British government for its "contradictions" in wanting to extradite Assange to Sweden, when it did not extradite former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet after his 1998 arrest in London on an international arrest warrant issued by Spanish judge Baltasar Garzon, who is now heading Assange's legal team.

Nothing has changed exept from Britain retracting their blooper of a threat to forcibly enter Ecuador's Diplomatic mission for the sake of Assange, the Police outside will still arrest Assange on sight if he tries to escape.

Oh's post info in 383 makes the wrong conclusions it is another untrue spin on the present facts.

It describes mishandled cases with asylum-seekers in 2001, rules have since been changed, and Btw. uninvited asylum-seekers has a slightly different legal status than an extradited prisoner in a criminal case.

Present EU arrest warrant treaty was made in 2004, and the extradition agreement between all EU nations and the US is from 23/10 -2009.
Agreement with the United States on extradition


It is still a fact that Assange can not be extradited from Sweden to the US without Britains approval, in case Assange is extradited from Britain to Sweden at some point.

It is also still a fact that no EU nation can or will extradite anyone in a case where the death sentence will be used and ultimately carried out.

It is also still true that all serious experts on this say it would be easier for the US to get Assange extradited from Britain alone! without the complications of the more difficult Swedes that would in this case be only middlemen.

Same with OH's info in post 381 , it is actually an added protection for Assange, and can by no means be made out like it is actually the Swedish Government that decides on Extradition in it's negative sense.

If a Swedish Supreme-court judge decides an extradition can not happen, the Swedish Government just has to accept that fact.

If a Judge on the other hand say Yes to an extradition, the Swedish Government can still chose not to extradite.

But naturally such a promise can not be given in advance carte blanc to anyone, first there has to be a case and the crimes considered, then an extradition request, and finally a Swedish court case to decide on extradition or not, first then can the Government step in if they deem they want to stop a court-ordered extradition, but that can only be done on case by case basis and not in advance of any fictitious claims.

The Swedes owe the US big time over all that Pirate bay shit. This is their payback.
The Brits don't want to extradite a commonwealth citizen to a US Gulag over whistleblowing, so are leaving the Swedes (who no one really gives a fuck about, especially Australia and the Commonwealth) to do the dirty work.
The Australian government, not wishing to lose their lickspittle title, is predictably saying and doing nothing.

It is EU extradition laws and the EU treaty with the US that will decide on an extradition, and it remains the Brits that have the final say, so no wiping anything of is possible, speculations like yours Necron99 will remain just that, it might be true some of it but it will have no influence on extradition.

Lets try not to forget there still is no US extradition request.

Plenty has changed , POM's are firmly on the back foot re invading the embassy

that British government is really a giant pile of steam shit, disgraceful, as usual with the British officials poofters. We should really consider kicking them out of the EU along with Greece.

They never intended too, and you know it, but it is OK to enjoy their political gaffe a bit, it really was a big clumsy blunder in every way.

But as far as we know that changes nothing for Assange's situation, please if you know different lets have it ?.

Of course it changes Assange's situation the threat has been removed .

Of course, Amnesty Int'l wrong, Lardichr right.

Of course not, they aren't completely stupid to advertise what they will do once he is in Sweden.

Why can't the Swedish police interview him in London and get his side of the story before they decide whether or not there is a case to answer?

And yes, before you state the obvious, it's because they have been told not to by the higher ups, everyone and his auntie knows why Sweden want him, and that is simply as an excuse to hand him over to the Americans.

I would give him a Nobel prize just to piss off the Americans like they did China a couple of years ago.

The document, pictured under the officer's arm by a Press Association photographer, appears to advocate arresting the WikiLeaks founder whether he leaves the building in a diplomatic bag or in a diplomatic car.

I would like to see that. Some bag that would be.

Let's say he surrenders to the British, is sent to Sweden, get's his sentence, suspended, I'd guess,.....and is asked to leave the country

Do Sweden have direct flights to Ecuador ?

There never was a real threat, just a stupid diplomatic fumble, R Correa is playing for the crowd and getting the most out of it.

The actual statement from the FCO sent in a letter to Ecuador on friday say "at no time has the UK government made any threat against the embassy of Ecuador."

"Respect for, and compliance with, international law is at the heart of the conduct of the foreign policy of the United Kingdom."



And Correa makes that, Britain has "given up it's threat"


But the FCO also maintains that Assange will be arrested if he try to leave the Embassy.


So Assange is inside, and the Police is waiting outside, yes Mid ? so IMO that is not much of a change from the last two months.
