In the news

A rooftop helicopter escape was mooted at one point...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/11836843/Julian-Assange-Fancy-dress-plan-to-escape-embassy.html

He escaped dressed up as Nigel Farage a few weeks ago. He's been back and forth to the US since. He's just taking the piss really.

Maybe the man we know as Farage is just a rubber suit who is donned by whichever facist happens to be on the rota for that day, and Assange drew the duty recently?

Couldn't they just make a body bag into a diplomatic pouch and put a few air holes in it?

He's kind of obsolete now that Trump is in office and leaking everything himself anyway...

They considered it...

Superb

^ Expecting a Skoda,
got multiple images of Trump in shitstained golf slacks.

"Assange defiant as rape probe dropped"

BBC probably had that one lined up for whether he went to prison or not...

just ewww!

Assange, what a fucking prick.

Why aren't the headlines more like this:

Trump-supporting (alleged) rapist with messiah complex escapes one charge, but continues hiding from another.

Personally, I think the bloke shouting "what about the cheesemakers?" at @JulianAssange captured the theatre of the absurd beautifully

A few years back a massive pipe shipping gas across Switzerland to Italy was shut down because the Alpine permafrost melted, which obviously the original engineers hadn't anticipated. Took months to build reinforcements to protect it from landslides. I thought that was a bit ironic.

After explosions, Greater Manchester Police have just tweeted about 'a number of confirmed fatalities and others injured' at Manchester Arena, Ariana Grande show.

Looks nasty...

Fuck.

Greater Manchester Police confirm 19 dead and 50 wounded.

Fucking grim. Kids at a concert. :(

That's some cowardly shit. Don't normally comment on these types of things but as above, it's it's just children it a concert.
