Flora MaDonald Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Don't see the point of this. It's not legally binding, and he'll still get nicked as soon as he sets a foot over the embassy door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jailender Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 There was a bit about this on the John Beattie show at lunchtime. Apparently the UN ruling is not legally binding in the UK. He doesn't sound like a particularly likeable person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 There was a bit about this on the John Beattie show at lunchtime. Apparently the UN ruling is not legally binding in the UK. He doesn't sound like a particularly likeable person. I heard that today. It's usually a good listen with Cosgrove and that other fella (can't remember his name). But today they went on a bit about him not being a very nice person. IMO his likability was totally irrelevant to the story they were discussing. This story is much bigger than his personality traits or mental condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flora MaDonald Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Scandalous waste of money. Indeed. Sturgeon should resign. It's Eamonn O'Neil, by the way (John Beattie Show). Agree, always a good listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McExpat Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Is he paying digs to Ecuador, or are they putting him up gratis? There's no such thing as a free lunch! Assanage will be aware of this but not quite as much as Snowden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaid Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Apparently he was staging a dirty protest in the Ecuadorian embassy which, to me, doesn't strike me as the wisest course of action in not convincing your hosts to throw you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParisInAKilt Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 https://www.globalresearch.ca/who-is-behind-wikileaks-2/22389 “ Even before the Wikileaks project got off the ground, the mainstream media was implicated. A role was defined and agreed upon for the corporate media not only in the release, but also in the selection and editing of the leaks. In a bitter irony, the “professional media”, to use Julian Assange’s words in an interview with The Economist, have been partners in the Wikileaks project from the outset. Moreover, key journalists with links to the US foreign policy-national security intelligence establishment have worked closely with Wikileaks, in the distribution and dissemination of the leaked documents.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
