As an Oz born UK National I find the whole Julian Assange saga positively shameful. A case of the UK brown nosing the Yanks without a condom. In the Wake of Brexit the British Foreign Office is both determined and terrified to keep its “Special Relationship” zombie alive with any kind of voodoo. The classic Establishment move would have been to release Mr Assange ever so discreetly many years ago and to deny all knowledge once the Americans caught wind of it. An apocryphal conversation between Sir Rupert Chinless-Wonder FO (Kenneth Williams) and Hank Thrust CIA (Sid James). Other parts played by Bernard Bresslaw (Assange) and Joan Sims (Stella Assange):
“Ah you don’t say so Hank…..that’s rather unfortunate Old Boy, nothing absolutely to do with us you understand. Rather thought it was your people that had the chappie under tabs or so we were led to believe. Your hard cheese rather donchathink?..But dear dear Hankypoos, no need to take it like that old heart, you know us….anything we can do to render assistance….would be our pleasure to drop our pants and bend over.”
Clearly when steered by America the FO can still act with swift duplicitous secrecy – classic British diplomatic skills never die, they only smell that way. As evidenced by the hush hush surrounding the Assange release today or whenever it took place. Doubtless we would still be in the dark if Assange’s own people had not released their own footage of the farrago. So far as UK news management goes this is the perfect moment to pull the stunt and have it largely buried in the endless election news cycle.
At any other time it would be major news but now you hardly notice Mr Albanese (Australian PM) throwing the blame (in my view totally justifiably) on the UK Gov. This for the extraordinary incarceration of Assange (an Australian national) for alleged crimes (not committed in the UK) in the high security nick of Belmarsh.
Mind you considering the totally flakey and allegedly whiffey (due to a lack of personal hygiene) cunt has managed to hook and land a very personable new wife name of Stella of Swedish extraction (nudge nudge) and produce two children in a tiny room in the Ecuadorian Embassy (nudge nudge nudge), Julian has not done too badly. Stella is a mouthey Hooman Rights Lawyer and his second wife so we shall see how long that Carry On lasts.
Nominated by Sir Limpy stroke.
