The Met have now delivered a billet-doux (presumably concerning Sweden, though it doesn't specify):
BBC News - Julian Assange sent extradition notice by Met PoliceThe man o' independent mind,
He looks an' laughs at a' that.

Based on the articles I have read, a good move. I think this is a prerequisite for the forfeiture of the bail that has been posted and now Michael Moore, Ms Khan etc will lose their money. YAY!! Originally Posted by Democritus LeoRoverman likes this.Nuair a chacann caora, cacann siad uilig

The twat is refusing to come out of the embassy.
So, its OK for him to put other peoples lives at risk by publishing unredacted names on the internet, but its not OK for him to face the consequences of his actions.
What a slimy piece of work Assange is...

Moore is so full of shit. Preaching about socialism and equality whilst rolling in money.

OK lets cut to the chase, literally.... How is Assange going to get out of the Embassy? Is there any practical means of him getting out, and on to an aircraft out, apart from plod being asleep at the time?
First they came for the Communists but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists but I was not one of them, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews but I was not Jewish so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.

I'm speaking out before they come for me.
