About bloody time too

I wondered if it’s in exchange for Assange…

Rinoachicken · 13/12/2021 20:25

The US REALLY REALLY want him - I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the deal.

About time

Not according to her lawyers.

Who the fuck is voting YABU

She won't be coming here. Presumably they have seen a way to use Covid as a suitable excuse. She would have been charged just after it happened if she hadn't skipped off home.

When are people going to realise the USA bullies us all the time; they deny our extradition requests but demand theirs are met.

the penalty (if she is found guilty) is from one to 14 years in prison - so would have to be heard in a higher court after the initial hearing in a magistrates court, so makes sense to to the initial hearing by zoom or whatever.

I hadn;t made the connection with Assange; sounds plausible.
Could still throw Prince Andrew in as a kind of BOGOF deal.

I am relieved she is facing justice and I think it is the right thing. I am one of the YABU and I've done that because the Prince Andrew thing has nothing to do with this. Each case needs to be seen at its own merit not in comparison with others. Whilst I don't care for PA I do hate how so many have just assumed his guilt how will he be able to get a fair trial if that's how people react.

In Anne Sacoolas case media reporting has been limited to give her a fair trial. I think that is a good thing to do.
