Seizing back control: The ILX lol brexit is how we're all gonna die thread.

it's part of a covert lefty bbc plot to subtract credibility from him.

poor old yackety yax

The TR base will 100% approve of that behaviour

Which one's Yaxley-Lennon-McCartney and which one's Tommy Atkinson though?

it will go down fine with the TR base, but it begs the question can just any old pissed up violent degenerate get a platform on the bbc these days. Just start asking some random pissed up numpt who got arrested for headbutting a statue what he thinks about the big picture of EU immigration!

that is putting aside his white supremacy hate speak for the purpose of that post!

They used to have Charles Kennedy on tbf

we don't see so much of him nowadays tho tbf

I often think of his pissed up appearances on QT when I'm needing some succor and inspiration to help me continue dogging on through this marvelous journey of life.

i knew about his drinking but dogging too? christ

Well, shit - I go to a verdant bit of north London for a few hours’ forest bath’/fuss of other people’s dogs and all hell breaks loose! Excellent work, chaotic world!

now suzy too, how many doggers post on this board ffs

*taps the 'Everything' in the board description*

Scru you too, BG ;-)

Do we reckon that, if Marc Francois had lost the run of himself on Parliament and called for a VONC today, whether Labour would feel obliged to vote for it, or obliged to vote against?

I mean, Kate Hoey would vote against, but y'know.

Mensch was on that celebrity SAS thing on ch4 but retired hurt at the end of the first week after falling awkwardly out of an helicopter and being pummeled by two other contestants.

disappointing of DA to minimise the assange rape charges on today this morning

it doesn't really contrast well with Alan Johnson washing his hands of Gary McKinnon back in the day. I know there is the whistleblower/journalism angle, but jc I wouldn't want to expend too much energy defending this pos.

The line on Twitter has been fairly consistent - that Assange shouldn't be extradited to the US but should go through the standard processes in relation to any potential charges in Sweden.

Corbyn's tweet about it was highly misjudged as well, you don't need to want him to be extradited to the US to at least acknowledge the rape charge.

It appears that the Swedish arrest warrant was rescinded two years ago so I'm not sure what the standard process would be in this scenario.

resist extradition to the US, prosecute him for bail skipping, & hold him until the swedish resubmit a warrant for his arrest/extradition

I don't think there's any real prospect of him not being extradited to the US, tbh. You can disagree with it politically but there is no practical way to stop the process. The US reserves the right to charge non-US residents for acts that took place outside of the US and are not crimes in the countries where they took place. The extradition treaty means the US doesn't really even need to provide substantial evidence.

think we've worked out by now that a lot of the old school left really doesn't get intersectionality

But Julian Assange isn’t being extradited or charged for rape - he’s being charged for helping Chelsea Manning distribute video of US war crimes. You can say about him needing to face charges for rape or any of his other alleged crimes but this is like one of the only good things he’s ever been responsible for?

And I hate to point out the fucking obvious, but nobody cares about rape and most rapists are never charged. That goes double if you’re famous.

If Sweden has dropped the charges that’s disappointing but otoh if I was one of the accusers I probably would have too.

It's procedural from the Swedish side. They can bring the charge back any time they like but there is a time limit on open investigations.

xp oh never mind, it’s only ~women~

This is a bad take when you don’t know anything about the person you’re speaking to.

Mensch was on that celebrity SAS thing on ch4 but retired hurt at the end of the first week after falling awkwardly out of an helicopter and being pummeled by two other contestants.

this was hilarious btw, a+ would watch again

Still interested in how I think women aren’t important, suzy!

You can say about him needing to face charges for rape

Well yeah I can, but so can Jeremy Corbyn. And when he doesn't, we get people like this charmer turning up in his comments:

Right. But those charges were dropped and there are rumors it was a CIA operation. He was never charged, which means, not guilty

Didn’t ask you, AF, and Corbyn has tons of cunts in his comments. Are you expecting him to sit on twitter and refute them individually? JA should have been charged for rape, but he hasn’t and he shouldn’t have been charged for what he was charged for. I don’t know why this is controversial or why not saying the obvious should make it any less true.

When this guy is whiling away his days in SuperMax, whats the charge it will be for? Does it matter? And will we cheer as loudly when the next person is someone we like? I don't see whats progressive about this.

When we throw away any protections for Assange, Shamima Begum, or anyone else, they aren't the only people we throw them away for

gyac otm

he shouldn’t have been charged for what he was charged for

am I missing something, I was under the impression Assange was arrested for skipping bail on the Swedish rape charges, why shouldn't he be charged for that?

thats not what he's going to do the time for

xp it’s supposedly god helping Chelsea Manning to leak the videos

*for

Which, as you said, is like the only good thing Wikileaks ever did.

Also I didn’t listen to Today, but is this true?

Shadow home secretary Diane Abbott told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that "this is all about Wikileaks and all of that embarrassing information about the activities of the American military and security services that was made public".

But she said Assange should also face the criminal justice system if the Swedish government charged him.

xp I think the diplomatic cables have value as well! But those videos were legit public service.

might nominate gyac's phone for ile poster of the year

had a feeling that god hates america, but the great deity will surely press the yellowstone erupt! button when they decide to get vengeful!

(xps) I knew they had done something else worthwhile, but couldn't remember what.

gyac, (which my phone autocorrects to ‘guacamole’ btw) you can be female and still make statements that another woman can find a bit minimising of the importance of seeing through rape charges at trial.

Interestingly, if extradited to Sweden to face these charges, both the UK and Sweden could prevent the Trump administration’s extradition request. Sweden were not informed of the planned arrest by Ecuador (the US was) which is dodgy, but they’re already taking steps to re-open the case less than a day after the event. Hooray, Sweden’

That’s not what I’m talking about (that you don’t know who you’re talking to online), but I do live in hope that you’ll at least pause before levelling some shit level take like that at me again.
