    In the summer of 1938, small ads starting appearing in the Manchester Guardian from Jews in Nazi-run Vienna looking for families in Britain to take in their children. My dad was one of them and was saved. I set out to find what happened to the others.

    Why journalists should be defending Assange. Powerful piece by Laura Poitras: “I am guilty of violating the Espionage Act....if charged and convicted, I could spend the rest of my life in prison.”

    Powerful piece in NYT Laura Poitras in defence of Julian Assange. If Assange can be prosecuted, so too can other journalists. Her opening paragraph: 'I am guilty of violating the Espionage Act..... I could spend the rest of my life in prison."

    Great to see such an unequivocal Guardian editorial opposing extradition of Assange to US.

    It would be nice to think that the return of (a handful of) fans would make the football authorities and the TV companies realise just how essential they are to the spectacle and the atmosphere. But I don’t hold out much hope.

    Continues to stagger that most US media is so indifferent to (if not supportive of) US's attempted extradition & prosecution of Assange even though it's by far the biggest threat to their press freedom in years, all because he's not one of them & published docs that hurt Dems.
