Assange is a fugitive from justice. He jumped bail and if he leaves the Embassy he will face the consequences of doing so. He may have avoided Swedish justice. He won't be afforded that possibility here. And frankly, after the way he has behaved I'd happily see him extradited.https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/1020395275939180544 …

The only one obsessed on this is you.

Assange has said he's happy to go to court to deal with the bail issue, even though he's already served any possible sentence. All he wants is a guarantee his asylum will be respected. To date, UK has violated international legal obligations & will likely continue to do so.
-
He has not served any sentence. Putting himself somewhere he can’t be touched and then making demands doesn’t work in this country. He’ll get what’s coming to him
-
I can see you are in some irrational vengence space. Even if you don't count the time in the embassy (over 6 years), standard UK sentencing credit would apply to the 550 days under restrictive house arrest ('qualifying bail conditions') and 10 days in prison prior to the embassy
-
The courts should count the 6 years, not least because the UN has ruled so. But to count that would be mean UK courts having to acknowledge they've kept him in arbitrary detention during all this time. It's moot anyway, because he served all the time before entering the embassy.
-
Ridiculous. He has been free to leave at any time. Any imprisonment is of his own making.
-
You could say that about an open prison. You’re really not good at being objective are you.
-
A ridiculous analogy.

So what is the thread was started stating he is a fugitive from justice. He is. That’s what. I don’t give a flying fuck if he is extradited to the US
-
You should. If he is extradited for something that isn't a crime in the UK, wasn't committed in the US, and wasn't charged at the time of detention, then that's a real extension of US judicial power.

It's a similar situation to the EU arrest warrant - where no evidence is required and all nations justice systems are regarded as equal
