As a British taxpayer I do not agree with our taxes being spent on 24/7 policing outside the Embassy where Julian currently is. The police being there on the off-chance Julian might leave the Embassy! What a waste of resources.
The UK can't even extradite Abu Hamza, who is more of a serious threat than Julian.
Anyone can see he is being fitted up, UK government are an embarrassment.
As British taxpayers I'd say you would have a right to demand why such an exorbitant amount of money is being spent on the strength of 'allegations of rape'...you don't spend that amount of money on one person for no reason...of course, there is the possibility that CHC is being provided by other agencies...oh hang on...the U.S. is also interested in him...where are all the hard-earned tax dollars going?...obviously to keep an 'alleged' rapist from being brought to justice...sounds right to me...NOT...

Money is being spent upholding the rule of law. Assange exhausted the legal process and the Supreme Court held that the law required he be extradited to Sweden. How could anyone trust a justice system where decisions of the Supreme Court are only enforced when it's cheap and easy ?

How can we trust a Justice System? Give us a new one. I can tell you right now, the current is owned and paid for by big business and intelligence agencies.
If you think there is True Justice left in this world then I feel very sorry for you. You need to open your eyes!

Got any evidence for that as regards the UK judiciary ?

Yes, the case against Julian Assange springs immediately to mind.

You're OK with this scenario?
...while, I imagine that in the same breath, the government is raising taxes, ministers salaries...reducing unemployment payments...etc...I'm not from UK, but, tell me these things are NOT going on...then tell me where the money's going...

I am not happy with this expenditure of police resources but I blame Assange and Ecuador.
I would be a lot more unhappy if he was let go because it was all too much trouble. What message would that send out to others in the future.
Personally I think we should break off diplomatic relations with Ecuador. They are abusing the use of their premises in London in sheltering a fugitive from criminal proceedings.

JA was wanted for questioning. He wasn't charged with anything. The authorities however refused to question him. They wanted him detained incommunicado indefinately in sweden. It's not just Uk who should've instantly refused the extradition based on this single fact alone, it's also the swedish authorities who refused to question him so they can have an excuse to detain him.
