Always the case though isn't it? Fuck with the justice system and they throw the book at you. Still, its hard to think of a worse case of skipping bail, at least your common crook will high tail it to Spain or Brazil. He just hid is plain sight sticking two fingers up. He was always going to get close to the maximum sentence.
Ecuador would like Julian Assange out of their embassy by the sounds of it.

Petty revenge?
He broke the law by breaching his bail conditions, costing taxpayers about £16m, he's frankly lucky to only have got 50 rather 52 weeks.
Besides he needs to be kept under lock & key pending whatever extradition hearings are to come, otherwise he could just skip bail again.

Yeah, I don't care about Assange, it's just the British state is doing him for jumping bail in a case that is no longer live (though, of course, it was him jumping bail that stopped the Swedish case progressing). I'm commenting on no more than the huffing and puffing the judge was doing and the inclination to defend the British justice system. As I say, my view is that he should have ended up in a Swedish court. All this is a 7 year sideshow.

She didn't huff and puff today. Are you referring to the previous judge who remanded him? He certainly told him what he thought of him but nothing less than the truth. And the Swedes haven't requested his extradition so that's on them. Hopefully they'll get their shit together in the next 6 or so months so that'll be his next appointment. Otherwise let him serve his sentence then pack the conceited wanker off to Nine Elms.

Well, there may be an irony in all this. If the Swedes don't put in a further request, his jaunt in the embassy might leave the American's first in the queue when it comes to extradition.

Yeah, it does seem like his unwillingness to face trial for rape in Sweden has made it much more likely he ends up in the US.

Which of course is quite funny. Almost as amusing as one of his dickhead legal team this morning insisting that extraditing him to the US would be "a death sentence".

I'm not sure there's a significant 'pro-Assange' element of the Tory party to appease or curry favour with. As long as the Septics say that they won't string him up he stands no chance.

Yeah, it's like a game of pass the big white turd.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking really - and all at the point in time when we will be seeking a trade deal with the USA.
I read somewhere that the maximum was around 5 or 6 years, it was certainly less time then he spent in the embassy.
The twat.

Yes, but he'd have been labelled a rapist for the rest of his life. Unlike if he hid himself away and avoided the charges.
Oh wait ...

apparently the prison officers took one look at his cell the second day he was inside and thought he'd gone on dirty protest. they were not relieved to find out that the daubing of shit on walls wasn't in fact a protest but his preferred environment.

sweden also likes to keep its prisons clean and his shit-smearing antics would make him persona non grata

Still, should deter some of the more persistent from trying bond over their shared interest of 'being a bit rapey'

since his departure from the ecuadorian embassy, and the subsequent deep clean necessitated by assange's abominable personal hygiene morale at the embassy has shot up and staff who'd transferred to other diplomatic stations to avoid ja are now very keen to return.

There's some irony there, given his alleged problems with understanding the concept of consent as it applies to others...

Oh ffs. He is not going to claim his legal name doesn't exist and the law only applies to people on ships (or however that bullshit goes) is he?

It's a sign of what 2019's all about that I can't tell if your post is serious or a joke.
