Angry Assange starts 5th year cooped in London embassy

[Zorro]

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange started his fifth year camped out in the Ecuadoran embassy in London on Sunday, an occasion his supporters were to mark with events celebrating whistleblowers.

Supporters said they were planning to stage songs, speeches and readings in several cities worldwide at 1830 GMT.

Assange was due to speak to his followers on a live video stream from inside the embassy.

The 44-year-old is wanted for questioning over a 2010 rape allegation in Sweden but has been inside Ecuador's UK mission for four full years in a bid to avoid extradition.

4. Thirty five would work for me.

He is delusional.

[WhiteTara]

2. He's so bored that he tried to generate

attention with his "new leak of Hillary emails" as though they haven't been sifted through with a fine tooth comb.

3. Great, recent Assange interview here:

.

As usual, he shows keen insight into various situations, including Brexit.

6. His mental health is probably deteriating after 5 years.

9. 5 years in a mansion on Hans Place (one of the more prestigious addresses in London)

isn't exactly hard time.

That said. I think he's always been bizarre. It's not that I'm not grateful to WikiLeaks, but Assange himself has always creeped me out a bit.

10. Listen to what he has to say, and learn.

5. Why

is he so afraid to answer to rape charge questions?

7. Let the whiny rapist asshole rot in there.

8. Better headline: "Accused rapist begins fifth year as fugitive from justice" (n/t)
