Priti Patel is going to extradite Julian Assange to the US to face spying charges . Any chance of her being on the same plane with a one -way ticket

One day you’ll get the hang of this

It might help people who want to discuss it.
I don’t really have an opinion as yet.
I detest Assange but am at the moment uneasy about extraditing him

// Priti Patel is going to extradite Julian Assange to the US //

err, no she isn't. it's the USA that will do the extraditing, under the US/UK extradition treaty. All she has done is approved the US request.

11.44 Err, If Priti Patel signed the extradition request then she in theory is extraditing him, he certainly ain't extraditing himsef is he.

He was going to be extradited, no matter where he was taking refuge. Govts don't want clever people like him being able to expose their uselessness and incompetence. Not to mention corruptness.

[10ClarionSt]

^^He was always^^^

Does that mean Sue Gray is next then?

[10ClarionSt]

Nah! She only did partygate etc. Assange was able to embarrass any govt. Can't have that! Lock him up in a penitentiary somewhere in Wyoming/Montana/Guantanamo!

[Khandro]

It is outrageous; all he ever did was tell the truth. Liars remain in power, truth-tellers go to jail (probably for life).

12.44 Spot on Khandro... B/A.

[Spicerack]

Ditto, Khandro.
Didn't have to send him either.

[gulliver1]

I think Boris should have Kept Assange in the UK and recruited him to his cabinet .

[davebro]

if he'd exposed Russia in a similar manner he'd have been long dead

[fender62]

get him on the plane costing tax payers ermm how much so far.

I love it when gully tries to reason with people who have an IQ larger than their shoe size! Hilarious!

[anneasquith]

She’s determined to get someone /anyone on an aeroplane !!!

[david small]

For shame. The UK is the lickspittle to Uncle Sam.

// she in theory is extraditing him,//

incredz - since he was being extradited, I thought Priti was complying BUT

hand over (a person accused or convicted of a crime) to the jurisdiction of the foreign state

she is extraditing him

Assange leaked 320 000 seccret documents ( so what) but they contained names of agents
and this really possed the Americans
hence the application

anyone remember Polly Peck ("What about Polly's neck den? an AB wordsmith effortlessly coins) he spent 7 y on the run and it is like being in prison for that time
