Guys, guys. The fact that bad stuff happens in Ecuador doesn't have any bearing on the legitimacy or otherwise of its protecting Assange.
@adambanksdotcom @dariengs Agreed, but you were arguing the opinion of the accused should be taken into account. It's entirely irrelevant.

@bazzacollins@adambanksdotcom I was arguing the human rights record of the Ecuadorian government is irrelevant to this particular question. -
@DarienGS No, it's entirely relevant in deciding whether Ecuador is behaving in the interest of human rights, or to merely piss off the US. -
@bazzacollins Probably both: has no bearing on whether or not Assange has a legitimate claim to asylum. -
@DarienGS@bazzacollins You're both ignoring the fact that he looks odd, and so must be guilty. That's British justice isn't it?

@bazzacollins@dariengs Oh, no, just meant both Assange and Ecuador will take their own views, not a given that US is no threat to him -
@adambanksdotcom As I said before, he's under no greater threat in Sweden than he is here. Every court in the land agrees. -
@bazzacollins No court has agreed that. The Supreme Court has agreed that Sweden's extradition request is lawful. That's all.
