Julian Assange’s bid for diplomatic status rejected by Britain

So why take up court time on a pointless formality ?

Because justice is not "pointless formality". We don't know what a magistrates court will do against Assange if/when he faces them for the criminal offence of jumping bail. The offence does carry a custodial tariff, but he may get "community service", or be let off, or fined. We don't know. The principle should be that no-one is above the law, even a celebrity.

Secondly as I stated the case was not thrown out of court which makes a fundamental difference in the argument.

Same thing, my dear ... the State Attourney laid down the case, as there is no case. There are numerous presedence ...

It is not the same thing and the Prosecutor said she can restart it at anytime.

Yes, as I said ... you are an uneducated political buffoon.

You really think this is a "wait out game"? You think Assange, is the only Village Idiot to run to south American in Sweden? There is no problem in Sweden, to prosecute and judge people 'absente reo'. In sweden, cases are "indefinite" ... people return decades later, for a holiday and get arrested ... as they were judged in absentia.

But, before you bring it to court ... you must have a case. They didn't.

a reply to: bjarneorn

No they have a case otherwise an arrest warrant never would have been issued. It is why the prosecutor placed the investigation on hold. It is also why Julian Assange is blaming anything under the sun in a desperate attempt to get out of it.

Believe what you want.. Assange is free to leave the embassy and has never been arbitrarily detained there. That was a lie and one that goes along with his lies about his reasons for not going to Sweden.

Charges -
Sweden has charges
The UK has charges
The US has charges

It is only a matter of time before Assange is forced to be hosed down to clean the stench or he is kicked out of the embassy. Since the bogus granting citizenship and then trying for the diplomatic immunity stunt failed he has run out of options.

Good luck with that.

When you decide to catch up to whats going on feel free to come back and join us. Unless you would rather just attack people and call them names since you have no valid argument.

Your choice.
