As far as the left is concerned, Assange is a russian spy.

Anything Trump did to help Assange would be hailed as proof of Russian collusion.

then again, anything Trump does is hailed as proof of Russian collusion, so this would be no different

but still

Whatever he does it's "collusion" so he might as well just do it.

The Deep State has it out for him, though

I don't really think he'd be safe here.

I feel he won't be very safe with the UK government either.

Assange's whole point is transparency. If you're going to hide your motivations from the people, you'll have to do it in a low-tech way, because WikiLeaks may find it.

There's not a government in power on the face of this planet that would really want to shelter that.

especially not a superpower.

Tommy is banned from the US apparently

Is he?

He got sent back when he came to the US

He got recalled by the British government

Mother Britain won't let him leave.

It's what he said on the Crowder interview

Poor guy

I wonder how his family is doing

Happen to know when it was talked about in this interview?

Apparently he discovered a ton of shit about what the police is hiding

@RyeNorth About the latter half I believe

It's been a few months since I've seen it

I'm pretty sure I remember him saying that he tried to flee to the US

but since the US and UK are allies, he got extradited

I remember him saying he was coming here to give a speech or something

Lemme find the interview

Apparently, according to Wikipedia [mileage may vary]

He actually was banned from the US on a 'drug charge'

@RyeNorth

I dunno, his account is different...

```In October 2012, Robinson was arrested and held on the charge of having entered the United States illegally. Robinson pleaded guilty at Southwark Crown Court to using someone else's passport to travel to the United States in September 2012, and was sentenced in January of 2013 to 10 months' imprisonment.``` -Wikipedia

```2010... 2011``` -Tommy Robinson

I dunno. I really want to believe in the idea of Tommy Robinson, but he's too inconsistent on principles...

Holding a free speech thing, and then silencing someone who he disagrees with, I'm not big on him after that.

@Revan Sorry?

Do you do VC?

@RyeNorth He didn't silence anyone though. Ali Dawah wasn't supposed to be booked

The person who did it was fired after the event, and according to the other people associated with the event, has been trying to extract money from his family

I forget her name though
