geared Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Whats that cryptic rubbish supposed to mean? Where do the police intend to draw the line, they've spent 3 million now, will they spend 5, or ten?? We've never spent so much to honour one arrest warrant before, we don't spend a fraction of that to find and arrest genuine murderers and rapists with European arrest warrants.

That value could be the protection of freedom, the pursuit of equality, the eradication of injustice or any one of a whole host of possibilities that are not linked to cost. Regarding Assange, I don't really have an opinion one way or another. I was just keen to point out that there could very well be important angles to consider rather than just cost.

Dick Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 He's not wanted for anything in this country. If the Swedes want him so badly send them the policing bill or let them police it themselves. Considering that our judges are quite happy to let foreign convicted criminals loose on our streets, it seems a bit strange to spend millions trying to deport this guy!

Anna B Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 It's obvious the authorities are very afraid of Julian Assaange, to put all this time and expense into keeping him quiet, even though he poses no threat to anyone other than the establishment. Meanwhile real robbers, rapists and murderers are at large. Please will the powers that be get their priorities right and put the effort into getting them off the streets.

andygardener Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Do we have 5 million quid spare to protect an alleged nonce from the evil human rights abusers of..err Sweden???? No. Kick the door down, drag him out and put him a plane to Stockholm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bloom Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/karin-wasteson/julian-assange-swedish-rape-law_b_1247247.html So, in reality, examining other cases that have been tried and sentenced in Sweden, Assange would serve 16 months at the most for the crime. He's been under house arrest for 804 days now. How long will it go on? Isn't it time Sweden and England got their heads together to put an end to this costly mess? What would happen if Sweden said he'd paid for his crime and they had no further issues with Assange? If he left the Embassy would we arrest him for extradition to the US now?

Eater Sundae Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 The solution would be to stop wasting police time and resources and arrest him if he tries to leave the country or is seen out and about. There are worse people than him walking our streets. Yes, I agree. They should just reduce the police presence to whatever it would normally be outside the Ecuadorian Embassy (probably zero). Then, if he happens to be seen out and about or he tries to leave the country he should be arrested. There’s no way he would be able to keep a low profile – he will want publicity. He’s sure to break cover. But even if he doesn’t, he’s still imprisoned, but it wont cost us anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hots on Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 He needs to face the music over the alleged rape of a woman, but the far left dont consider rape a serious offence; I'm suprised he isn't hiding out at Martin Smith's house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
