Fucking come on Wolves!
Despite having lost interest in the game over a decade ago and being an Everton supporter, I have of course always had a soft spot for my home team (my Dad is obsessed with them and had a season ticket up until 2013 / 14, after which my mother became too disruptive to allow him to go any more) and have probably spent as much time over the years at Molineux than at Goodison Park....

Good to see where I live is the cannabis capital of the UK & the cops are now just letting you walk if you are caught with some. I doquestion if they will let you walk if they kick off your door & find several 600w HPS blazing away though, yeah I have a gut feeling they're not pro Percy Thrower.
With any luck they may raid a BHO/DAB factory & as the freezer kicks on all the Butane in the air will catch & blow the cops right through the wall, we can only hope & pray I guess. Mind you there has been at least 3 BHO/DAB places blow up due to the amount of butane in the house over the last several years.

alright eadd. well you are probably all doing drugs because you're allowed to and i am not.
my life has reached new levels of tragic. i have to bribe myself with biscuits to make myself do my cushy paid work. when i went to rehab 25 inch waist jeans were baggy on me, now i barely get in them. i need to find a new way of motivating myself to do things that normal people just seem to be able to do. that also includes not doing heroin cos its fucking killing me right now.

Well, there are a few things about the Julian Assange case that don't quite add up, aren't there?
Are we supposed to believe that someone smart enough to uncover evidence of industrial-scale human rights abuses is not smart enough to watch where he dips his wick, for crying out loud? If you're carrying information that could bring down a powerful government, the last thing you want to do is take stupid risks like having casual sex with strangers, even if your reasons are more selfish i.e. not wanting to risk getting yourself into trouble with the law or trapped in a room with a murderer, as opposed to not actually wanting anybody else to suffer. Unless you believe that the information that you are carrying makes you worth protecting. Then you might be tempted to see if you could get away with a crime; but even so, there are classier crimes, ones more likely to endear you to the public, than rape. Art or jewel theft, for instance, if done with no harm to life, tend to court a good measure of public sympathy for the thief; since the original owner was obviously just showing off their wealth, and everyone loves a Robin Hood character. Even shoplifting a bottle of vodka from a supermarket is mostly going to inspire pity, as opposed to outright revulsion.
On the other hand, if you're in bed with someone who knows something you're desperate to conceal, why not just kill him there and then? That would have made every James Bond film a fair bit shorter. Get into a Cowgirl position, then stab him straight through the heart with a dagger, right in the middle of the vinegar strokes. Job's a good 'un. Your bosses can deal with the clean-up. But once the target is dead and the secret isn't coming out, that makes you expendable ..... So maybe you can use the target, alive, to your own advantage and double-cross your employers? Convince him that you're his only hope, half the money is better than being dead and the only way he can get that is by trusting you? If I'm going to kill you, I will do so whether or not you trust me. But if you don't let me help you, I can't stop anyone else from killing you. So have we got a deal?
Is the timing significant? Invading an embassy to take a prisoner, even one wanted for rape, has the potential to start an International Incident. Waiting until the last minute before the UK would have provoked another International Incident by crashing out of the EU without a deal suggests someone might have been hoping for one lot of events to divert attention from the other lot of events. And if the UK could no longer practice Extraordinary Rendition from anywhere in the EU, our usefulness internationally would be diminished.
Have multiple, over-complicated plots failed at once?
Of course, the most boring explanation is that what Julian Assange actually knew was not really worth very much; but he was arrogant enough to assume that it made him invulnerable, and tried to prove it by getting away with rape. But of course, that is exactly what They want you to think .....

Personally I thought Assange was a wang with or without the rapey shit. Lost all good faith with me when he got Trump elected. Geezer was decent.... right up and till the point he took the wrong turn. Did he fuck a couple girls he shouldn't have done? Probably. Was kinda a rock star... as far as such folk go. Then he went deep, deep into the "Deep State" and went and dropped tens of thousands of inconsequential emails that put the world in the state it is today. Then didn't bother cleaning out his cat's litter tray. Apparently. I'm frankly past caring. Geezer's a wang. But the cause may still (eventually) have promise.

Considering the amount of shit he was facing, it's almost surprising he didn't take the coward's way out -- with or without framing someone for his murder.
How does someone manage to get hold of potentially world-shattering material, and then go and blow it with an indiscretion like that? If he genuinely was just a lecherous creep who couldn't keep his flies fastened for ten minutes, how did he not get busted long ago? Did all the power just go to his head and make him think he could get away with anything? He must surely have known from the outset that any public sympathy would be lost with the merest hint of any sexual impropriety. Doesn't matter if you stopped someone from pressing the Nuclear Button; if you were so much as caught wanking into a condom in a lay-by on a deserted country road at three in the morning, you'll still never be anything but a sex offender. (On the other hand, some people might prefer to be remembered for having sex with a pig's head than for selling an entire country to a bunch of carpet-baggers.) What was he even playing at, having sex with anyone at all? And why arrest him now, mere hours before the UK was about to leave the EU? (The October extension was not known about when the first moves would have had to have been made.)
But that's the difference between truth and fiction, I guess. Authors have to make fiction make sense. All the loose ends get brought together and tied up in the final chapter or scene, and you're blaming yourself for not spotting the connection much earlier rather than the author or director for deliberately leading you down the wrong path around the point in the story where they thought you might make the connection. (Or else you throw the book at the wall, or storm out of the cinema in a huff.) Real life isn't constrained to a page count or running time, and doesn't care whether or not the audience end up feeling entertained.
I suppose we're just never going to find out. Whether that is because there is nothing to find out or because of some elaborate plot to conceal the sort of unimaginable human rights abuses alongside which even sexual assault pales into insignificance, ultimately won't make a blind bit of difference anyway.

Who cares? Maybe the surviving family members of the victims of human rights abuses perpetrated in the name of the USA care. The women he is accused of sexually assaulting certainly care. If there is any oil underneath Ecuador, the US fossil fuel companies probably care. Do the CIA care (about Britain possibly sacrificing the ability to arrest anyone, anytime, anywhere in the EU and bring them to the USA)?
At any rate, not enough people care.
