Julian Assange's extradition from UK to US approved by home secretary

Priti Patel has approved the extradition of the WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange to the US, a decision the organisation immediately said it would appeal against in the high court.

The case passed to the home secretary last month after the supreme court ruled there were no legal questions over assurances given by US authorities over how Assange was likely to be treated.

While Patel has given a green light, WikiLeaks immediately released a statement to say it would appeal against the decision.

"Today is not the end of fight," it said. "It is only the beginning of a new legal battle. We will appeal through the legal system; the next appeal will be before the high court."

    I must ask though, how many millions have been spent on this while my kid does more and more lockdown drills at school?

    Your kids get lockdown drills in schools because of some value guns more than life. But it's ok, nothing can be done about it, says the only nation in the world where this is a regular occurrance.

    So, Assange is something that can be done to harass and "warn" others. Like Putin's poisoning of his enemies abroad, but this is American equivalent. And this was going on how long? Obama? Trump? Biden? so, it's not one party thing. But hey, what do I know.

    But don't equate that to reason your kids need to learn to smear blood of dead classmates on their body to pretend to be dead. That's 100% internal to your own problems you have created and pretend that nothing can be done about it. And has NOTHING to do with Assange or spending money on anything or not spending money on something.

    Seems like we could fix that by getting school administrators that value kids more than guns. We do have those in the US somewhere, right?

      I love when your rightwinger attitude just can't help shining through. What can school admins do if they just cared more about the kids???

        Drop the hysterical lockdown drills for starters.
