So the smear job continues with Wikileaks regarding Assange and Netflix is amongst the big guns being utilised.

The US won its appeal against a January UK court ruling that he could not be extradited due to concerns over his mental health. Judges were reassured by US promises to reduce the risk of suicide.
What else can we expect from British “justice”
Wednesday marked Julian Assange’s 1,000th day of imprisonment in London’s Belmarsh Prison
When Johnson smeared Starmer in the House of Commons he said that Starmer had prosecuted journalists but not Jimmy Saville. One newspaper report of the incident yesterday when a jeering mob surrounded Starmer said that there were shouts of “Assange”. Does anybody know if, when he was Director of Public Prosecutions, Starmer prosecuted Assange? Is that what Johnson was referring to?
ALB – I think this link to Craig Murray’s recent post will answer your question:
Thanks. There could be something in it as this is being spread by the Labour left and not just Johnson and the far-right.
According to this when the mob was shouting “traitor” they meant “traitor to the working class”.
Also:
“Traitor to the working calss
Men could be heard bellowing “traitor to the working class” before police stepped in to rescue Starmer and walked him to the safety of a police car.”And here’s Ken Loach on the subject.
Labour Heartlands seem to be a leftwing Corbynista blog? I think they are still in the Labour Party. Can anyone confirm this?
Should we consider asking Murray to have an interview in the Standard, we have done before, Tony Benn and Im pretty sure we had an interview in the early days with Paul Lafargue. It doesn’t mean that we agree, but I’m sure it would add a few copies to the Standard.
You’re right – it doesn’t mean that we/they agree on everything, but truth tellers are few and far it seems. So much of our daily news is contaminated by journalists answering the demands of their masters. A breath of fresh air is good for all.
Just read another one worthy of a read on this subject:
Didn’t those enraged at Boris Johnson’s ‘smears’ of Starmer defame Corbyn at every turn?
Jonathan Cook (ex-Guardian) – another potential intervewee?
Today’s Times says that the person who shouted about “what about the working man”.
“One man approaching Starmer was Eillism Coleshill, a former Tory councillor who is co-editor-in-chief of the anti-lockdown YouTube channel Resistance GB, which made a recording of the incident. Coleshill, who was suspended from the party making racist remarks, shouted at Starmer : ‘Why aren’t you standing up for our constitution? Why aren’t you standing up for Labour, for the working-class man?”
Doesn’t sound like a Corbynista, at least not a Jeremy one.
Assange has moved a step closer to a US trial on espionage charges after the UK’s highest court refused to hear his appeal against extradition.
Assange’s lawyers will have four weeks to make submissions to the home secretary before her decision.
Given the current war hysteria he doesn’t stand a chance, quite apart from Priti Patel being keen to kick one more foreigner.
The hypocrisy of highlighting the censorship and jailing of journalists by Russia and treatment of Assange for his reporting is astounding.
It is due to WikiLeaks that we know of the foreign interference in Ukraine’s internal politics during the 2014 coup.
