Julian Assange police guard cost nears £3m

The cost of a round-the-clock guard outside the Ecuadorean embassy in London, where Julian Assange took refuge last June, has reached almost £3m, the Metropolitan Police have said.

Scotland Yard estimated costs of £2.3m in pay that would have covered normal duties, and £600,000 on overtime.

The Wikileaks website founder faces extradition to Sweden over sexual assault allegations, which he denies.

Mr Assange, 41, fears onward extradition to the US.

He believes he could face charges there over the release of top secret documents by Wikileaks, whose publication of a mass of leaked diplomatic cables has embarrassed a number of countries.

Sweden wants to question him over allegations that he sexually assaulted two female ex-Wikileaks supporters while he was in Stockholm to give a lecture in 2010.

Send the bill to Assange and if he dose not pay up send the bill to Ecuador and if they don't pay up kick the door in and drag Assange's sorry arse out and shove him on a plane.

A popular opinion amongst the British public I suspect.

Send him here.
He's a national hero for exposing some embarasing secrets about the servile nature of our goverment.

I'll see if I can fit him in a jiffy bag.

Just imagine what really important work those guards could have done in those watchdog hours, and what really important issues those 3 million could have been used for.

This comes from trying to think by emotions instead by intellect.

No empathy from me over this.

What I mean, is this: it's peanuts by today's perverted standards, and the hype is hopelessly blown beyond proportions. We let others commit far greater crimes and damages, and then even reward them with 1o times and 50 times as much gold than this operation so far has costed.

And Tchocky, a warrant on basis of a staged plot, is no legal warrant in serving principles of the law and justice system, but is only part of the plot, serving the function to make it a successful plot. and it works like that since one year now: Assange is effectively put on ice, with Wikileaks being marginalised.

Mission objective achieved.

The objective was to but him on ice, or to get him under total and irreversible control and into custody.

Well one thing is for sure...he certainly aint going no place soon and a cell will be his eventual location.

Tchocky · 02-17-13, 08:54 AM

Again, Skybird, if you have any evidence of this being staged please post it.

Calling it a plot doesn't make it one
