A couple of quotes from a BBC article on Assange..
How have people have reacted?
Prime Minister Theresa May told the House of Commons: "This goes to show that in the UK, no one is above the law."
Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the arrest was the result of "years of careful diplomacy" and that it was "not acceptable" for someone to "escape facing justice".
Really?
It’s good how one of the arresting officers appears to move out of the way to be sure that the camera gets a good view of Julian holding a book by Gore Vidal. What’s that about?
