I hope he's not planning to go down in history as a hero still?  | | | | | Not sure under what rock you spent the last seven years, but Assange did not waste them… he published the DNCs emails he was leaked by the Russians to help Trump become president… maybe he will get some favors in return now.

US & UK doing what they do best, subverting justice & truth - this time through rendition in broad daylight when the UN had already ruled his detention arbitrary, a violation of human rights and repeatedly called for him to be able to walk out freely

Dark times | | | | | Or alternatively: The UK successfully arrests a man accused of rape so he can be bought to justice.
Which I think has a bit of a more positive aspect to it.

Alternative truth? Then yes, it will fit very well into the current climate of fake news considering the rape pretense has long been exposed -even dropped by Sweden for years

look, this guy isn't some anti establishment hero, he's a scum bag, he used his fame to bed as many women as possible while getting the people who thought they could trust him thrown in prison. he's a user, a self promoter, a rapist (in the swedish definition) not some knight in shining armour trying to right the wrongs in the world.
just read up how he treated the Ecuadorian embassy, and how much he's cost everyone, sorry I hope the americans do get hold of him and throw him inside.

Tom | | | | | yes but only after starting with protected sex and whipping the condom off during proceedings, which the women didn't agree too. Totally reckless thing to do.

Tom | | | | | They didn't consent to it, so in the world of #metoo yes it is, where do you draw the line? if the woman consents to a snog then all bets are off?
apart from anything else they could have caught something or got pregnant so its a real bastard thing to do.

I am in no way saying that his behaviour is acceptable, but the wording and spin to the story has been extreme.

Top prosecutor Marianne Ny said his arrest warrant was being revoked as it was impossible to serve him notice.
Mr Assange, 45, has lived in the Ecuadorean embassy in London since 2012. He fears extradition to Sweden would lead to extradition to the US where he is wanted over leaks.>>
they didnt drop it because he didnt do it, they dropped it because he hid for years. He should still be brought to justice and its brilliant he's been nicked. i hope he gets 25 years in solitary in the US.
