Wiki raid doesn't fool me
DESPITE the accusations surrounding Julian Assange, it could be interpreted that the UK government is the subordinate of the USA.
THERE are a surprisingly large number of people – most of them with Twitter accounts – who think it’s just a coincidence that America’s public enemy number one, Julian Assange of WikiLeaks, happened to be the subject of sex allegations in Sweden.
These are allegations over which no charge has been brought, no officer despatched to London, no video-link interrogation and absolutely no Swedish undertaking not to extradite Assange to the US, where the electric chair may await him.
This idea, you would have thought, would have been dispelled by the sight of British Foreign Secretary William Hague despatching a huge phalanx of Metropolitan police around and even into the building housing the sovereign territory of Ecuador, namely its embassy, where Assange has sought refuge.
The open threat to break international law and storm the building would, of course, set British embassies alight in many parts of the world, including across Latin America – one of the most happening places on the planet where you’d think Team GB would be trying to win friends and influence people.
Now, either the Tory-Liberal Democrat coalition has done all this in the name of sex allegations by two of Assange’s admitted consensual girlfriends. Or it is, in fact, demonstrating that actually Team GB is subordinate to Team USA, where a secret grand jury has been preparing an indictment against Assange for revealing America’s dirtiest laundry? Hmmmm. You decide.
For me, it’s WikiLeaks, stupid.
