Assange catgate hearing halted as Ecuador hunts around for someone who speaks Australian WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's efforts to tip a bunch of rules allegedly imposed on him by his Ecuadorian hosts into the kitty litter tray have been suspended owing to interpreter difficulties. According to reports, the world's most annoying housemate reckoned that the court-appointed interpreter was not up to snuff. Alas …
"playse stawp yoah caht crahppin in ahh embahssy"
That just comes across as UK Black Country accent to me.
Original:
Buenos días señor Assange. Le agradeceríamos mucho si pudiera abstenerse de dejar a su gato defecar en nuestro piso.
English:
Good morning Mr Assange. We would very much appreciate it if you could refrain from letting your cat defecate on our floor.
Aussie Translation:
G'day mate, stop letting your cat shit on the floor.
There, FTFY.
Is he actually paying any rent?
He is bringing a lot of free publicity in for Ecuador. How many people knew their Embassy in London was in Kensington before Assange stopped by?
Wouldn't you think that the Ecuadoreans are a very hospitable people just because they have put up with all the grief that their guest has given them.
Illegal immigrants typically flee from rather worse issues that being called out for being an unwashed git who can't keep his appendix in his pants. Have you considered the Human Rights of the girls, or the asylum seekers who need asylum for /actual/ humanitarian reasons?
who can't keep his appendix in his pants. Have you considered the Human Rights of the girls,
I should think we should consider everyones rights in the face of someone who waves their internal organs about, erm, willy-nilly.
Usually, a surgeon is required to remove appendix from pants.
I think you meant appendage A/C.
In the same way that blocking unregulated immigration is a human rights violation despite the fact that any illegal immigrant can leave if they don't like how the receiving country runs the show.
Give me your address.. I'm coming to kip in your spare bedroom.
For true Strine you have to insert the c-word that rhymes with Jeremy Hunt somewhere in the sentence.
Noting that it only rhymes if you keep it in Strine, because in that language there is no "uhhh" syllable that rhymes with the UK or US word "truck".
Lucky we're taking the piss out of fellow Anglophone nations. If this debate involved just about any other language/nation, pathetic whiners would have escalated it to the status of a diplomatic incident.
In addition to the intended Australian, and the already mentioned Black Country, I can read that sentence in a Texan or a Scottish accent, so I'm wondering if the author hasn't stumbled on something of great importance here.
However, try as I might, I can't turn it into Geordie......
This is the most obvious thing to do at this time. I don't understand why the Ecuadorians haven't done this yet, or even why the British Government hasn't offered them a swanky new place for a month - rent free - since this will be cheaper than the police presence outside the current embassy.
I agree as a basic courtesy he should be nice to his hosts. However, I remain to be convinced they are sheltering him from anyone or thing apart from a UK prison sentence for skipping bail.
I wish people would stop with this James-Bond fantasy that he's somehow "marked". He's not, and (controversially ?) he never was. In fact, it's arguable that the only reason he is STILL holed up, is because he knows when he finally comes out, all the worshippers of St. Julian will see the feet of clay, as no one in the US gives a toss.
"Julian .. who ?"
Two years ago he might have been a person on interest in the US, but under the new regime anything Obama did is wrong so Julian's going to be free to go. The worst thing he could do is stay holed up until the 2020 election and find himself with a Dem in office looking for issues to display the restored vigor of the DOJ.
"Two years ago he might have been a person on interest in the US, but under the new regime anything Obama did is wrong so Julian's going to be free to go."
I suspect it's the other way round. The previous administration would have had the wit to realise the biggest punishment they could inflict would have been to ignore him. I think the current administration lacks wit.
The original offense was unwanted sexual contact in Sweden, right?
President Trump has said that's acceptable conduct, if I understand him correctly (and I admit, that is often somewhat difficult, as he speaks in 140 character bursts, not all of which are comprehensible).
So...no harm, no foul...no black helicopters, right?
// still, word may not have made it all the way down to the "snatch team" yet...
Who actually wants him? Ecuador doesn't anymore. Sweden has dropped the arrest warrant but "could" reassert it before the statute of limitations expires in August 2019 and probably won't. The USA doesn't seem to want him. Even his cat won't as he fails to look after it. This leaves just the UK justice system who wants him for bail jumping. The best thing to do there would be to follow the time honored tradition and deport him to Australia ....... after letting him spend a couple of nights sharing a prison cell with someone who is friendly but not kind to chaps who treat women or cats badly.
.... from Greater Destinations of Immersive Dimensions
Is the real panto villain of the piece and disturber of the peace, HMGovernment, whatever/whoever/wherever that be playing at the Great Game in these Ages of Greater IntelAIgent Games Plays?
Surely Julian is a Seriously Serially Abused Asset which HMGovernment and its Crony Intelligence Services are Guilty of Remotely Restraining and Restricting? It's a Pan National Disgrace and Dark Dank Blot on International Copy Books/Public and Private and Pirate Aiders and Abetters?
A few questions there for truthfully answering with a fuller understanding of wider plays at play.
Such deserves certainly full government protection not ineffective faulty sanction.
What say El Regers, now that we know a lot more about such as are Ultimate Shenanigans?
hes not staying in the embassy because the US will try to nab him once the british have lost interest (about 3 days after fining him £100 for jumping bail), but hes staying there because hes hiding from the people who DO want some harm to come to him.... I.E the people he stiffed for 1 million quid when he jumped bail...
Pity he hadn't taken refuge in the Saudi embassy..... couldn't see them putting up with his cat crapping on the carpet for long.... ;)
While I mainly support the activity of Wikileaks I strongly disagree with leaking documents of a LIVE MILITARY OPERATION. People can be killed because of this.
There is a detail that is ignored:
1) I leak documents with the intent of damaging/destroying a certain Nation.
I disregard so much that nation that I don't care my actions could cause the death of people involved in military operations.
2) After this super cunning act I expect that the counterpart gives me all the rights and guarantess provided by the system itself. The system I hate so much and I want to destroy. I expect also the system pays the legal fees.
I am disgusted. Assange is a horrible human being.
You have go it all all wrong
Must dump a Secret Ecuador memo on Wikileaks site.
Cat not recognised by Ecuador. Cat will be removed if it cannot defecate in kitty litter provided and mess cleaned up by its owner, Assange.
Childs electronic cat to be substituted for Assange's mental health.
Here's a copy of his pre-wikileaks site: https://cryptome.org/iq-org/IQ.ORG.htm.
Turning that into english is hard enough, let alone spanish. Amanfrommars may have found his antipodean... well, his antipodes.
