Commonsense prevails, Assange is a filthy wretch who needs to face court for his alleged sexual assaults:


London Police have reportedly entered the Ecuadorian embassy in London where Australian Wikileaks publisher Julian Assange is holed up after his request for political asylum.

WikiLeaks tweeted this morning that two large police vans had arrived ‘‘to surround the Ecuadorian embassy in London’’.


For all you loopy conspiracy theorists, there's nothing stopping the US from extraditing him from Britain if they want him that badly.

Apparently the uk govt is going to rescind the sovereign status of the embassy to get him out. Thats like declaring war.

The sex charges are fabricated. Everyone knows that.

SOB

It may sound sexist for me to say this but, the PM, because she's a woman is less likely to be accused of raping a man.

I don't think it really matters. It's still Assange's fault. He should have been more careful. It's so easy to blame this on the women we would like to demonise and label as "evil" pawns of the U.S. The powerful men in this world need to start taking better care of themselves and their women.

If you want to have sex with a woman, marry her. I think this was the whole point of marriage, to promise to look after someone with sex as a reward and benefit. Julian Assange didn't promise a lifetime of support and care for this woman and was therefore exploiting her, regardless of whether she "consented." It was never about the puritanical reasons that Christian Bible Belt fanatics say marriage is about. Marriage was always for more practical reasons.

It isn't important if you're an unimportant tradesperson or some other working class, blue collar employee, but if you become as influential as Julian Assange, watch out. Everyone else can have sex with anyone they want, as long as they aren't hurting anyone, but if you're a high profile person it doesn't matter if you didn't hurt anyone. The threat of a law suit is bad enough.

What do Bill Clinton, Craig Thompson, Peter Slipper and John Edwards have in common? One word: sex.

You don't become a political activist or politician and continue sleeping with women who aren't your wife. Political activists like Julian Assange should know that they have enemies and not risk the controversy of sleeping with the wrong woman.

Even if the charges are eventually dropped, Julian Assange is still an idiot and whore for doing what he did. We need to stop pointing fingers at the women involved. If we kept pointing fingers at the women for being pawns of the U.S. what would that prove? That's like double exploitation first by Assange and then by the U.S. and therefore double rape. That just throws the dignity of womanhood out the second-storey window.

Britain is merely asserting the sovereignty of its territorial native law over that of international law.  There is no lawful reason why Britain cannot enter the Ecuadorian Embassy to arrest a fugitive from justice.  This is not a victim here, this is a wanted man who has the same opportunity as everyone to answer for his actions and be judged by his peers...

Assange is a coward.

The way how Australian authorities responded without any intention to protect own citizen is another proof that Australia is nothing else than a little colonial Pome puppet.

Australia will not interfere in the course of British justice other than to observe, assist and advise Mr. Assange in anyway they can within the parameters of British Law...We have full confidence in British justice...
