Creep
At this moment I am sat, gob-smacked, listening to Julian Assange whine to a hand-picked media audience about the effect on his health of two years’ enclosure within the Ecuadorean Embassy. Fact: at any time during those two years, he could have walked through the front door. Fact: he didn’t. Fact: as soon as he leaves his diplomatically protected hidey-hole he is liable to arrest and extradition to Sweden to face questioning on allegations of sexual misconduct.
Iraq. Syria. Ukraine. There are many important things happening in the world right now. Poor Julian must have been feeling left out. I’m sure we’ll hear from him again the next time we’ve forgotten he exists.
