In my opinion, he should be allowed out of the UK. The last thing the government here want to do is screw up diplomatic/economic relations with South America, they've caused enough trouble and they know it, so I think, eventually they will have to cave into giving Assange a safe passage out of the UK. If they do not however, the consequences for the British economy could be huge, potentially, we could lose vital trading with South America.
I think that what Assange has done with WikiLeaks is a very brave thing and it is for the greater good, governments hide things that they don't want to be seen by the public, and by exposing some of the hidden documents, the public have been able to see what their governments are up to.

So, Ecuador have granted Julian Assange's request for political asylum, much to the outrage of the British and Swedish authorities. Assange is wanted in Sweden for questioning over allegations of sexual assault made by 2 former WikiLeaks volunteers, but Assange believes that if he is extradited to Sweden on the basis of the sexual assault charges, that he will be further extradited to the US where he could face prosecution over WikiLeaks and he could ultimately face the death sentence. Although Assange has been granted asylum, he still has to travel through UK territory to reach an airport, and he could be detained by authorities in the process of doing so. Earlier in the week the UK government threatened to remove the Ecuadorean embassy's diplomatic immunity in order to gain entry to the building an arrest Assange.
What do you people think about the Assange case?

Hunting for Witches by Bloc Party
I was sitting, on the roof of my house
With a shotgun
And a six pack of beers,six pack of beers,six pack of beers.
The newscaster says, "The enemy is among us"
As bombs explode on the 30 bus,
Kill your middle class indecision,
Now is not the time for liberal thought,
So I go hunting for witches
I go hunting for witches
Heads are going to roll
I go hunting for..
90's,Optimistic as a teen.
Now its terror
airplanes crash into towers, into towers, into towers.
The Daily Mail says the enemies among us,
Taking our women and taking our jobs,
All reasonable thought is being drowned out by the non-stop baying, baying, baying for blood
So I go hunting for witches
I go hunting for witches
Heads are going to roll..
I was an ordinary man with ordinary desires
I watched TV, it informed me
I was an ordinary man with ordinary desires
There must be accountability
Disparate and misinformed
Fear will keep us all in place
So I go hunting for witches
I go hunting for witches
Heads are going to roll

The BBC coverage of the Olympics was fantastic, it was back-to-back on most BBC channels everyday! And they always showed the medal ceremonies no matter who won it, but I suppose we were the host nation so good television coverage was a MUST!

Recently got back from France (again!), but this time I went with my family, here's a few pics!

Just chilling out in Cannes

)This was after the parasailing when we landed in the water
At some viewpoint in Nice
Me and my bro once again!

Just got back from my school's French trip, here's a few pics of moi:
Me on the Arc de Triomphe with the Eiffel Tower in the background!
I didn't know that someone was taking a picture, thus explaining the very weird mid-speech facial expression
and finally:
Me, quite literally, chilling on the deck of the ferry in rain and wind!

Pic of me and a couple of my mates after County rugby trials, spot me
(Oh, and by the way, in case you were wondering, we weren't feeling very photogenic after 2+ hours of shattering rugby) -
These made me laugh:

We are just a small state in Europe, no one gives a toss about the UK, the rest of Europe must think we're a joke, we have literally NO say in what happens in the world, we're not some massive empire anymore. I say we let the queen finish her reign and then we stop with the royal family. And you said about the Armed Forces, of course we'd have the Armed Forces without a monarchy! The French revolted and got rid of their monarchy, they have some of the most advanced technology in their Armed Forces. The monarchy are nothing to be proud of, the way we treated our overseas territories in the empire, disgusting.
You want my honest opinion? F*ck the queen.

So it's all okay for the US government to go around air striking the locations of supposed terrorists, causing a great deal of collateral damage and killing civilians in the process, and it's okay for the CIA and MI6 to go around torturing prisoners that are being held WITHOUT trial, and it's okay for the governments to spy on civilians but it's suddenly "wrong" that WikiLeaks to publish leaked documents on US air strikes?
