https://twitter.com/bbcbreaking/status/865494974703452161 Key reasons for dropping the case include the fact that Ecuador were being intransigent in providing assistance and the prosecutors could not justify spending any more resources. So if you ever want to get away with anything, just hide in a box room in London for seven years and everyone will just give up.

LemonDrizzle posted:No, it will not meaningfully affect anyone passing down around the median level of wealth. In the worst case "around the median" scenario - where the dead person's property wealth is a few grand above the median for the oldest group - the inheritor would have to take out a tiny mortgage of a few grand to secure the house. Since the cost of servicing that mortgage would be vastly lower than any rent they might realistically be paying pre-inheritance, they're still coming out miles ahead.

Assuming that the rendition to Cuba thing was false. Of course it was false. It didn't make sense on even the most superficial level because most extraordinary renditions don't normally start with a polite request from the Met to pop in and have a word with them.

It's important to note that Assange never disputed the alleged course of events in court, only that they weren't rape. The court disagreed. Assange v SPA is, as a result, controlling precedent on sexual assault cases.

Assange is a narcissist, through and through. He got all the attention he wanted by playing the victim and hiding in that cupboard. £5 he's gonna spend the next couple of months flailing around desperately now he can't pretend he's on the run from the eeeevil globalists.

So we just received our Liberal Democrat flyer... It states "Send them a message they can't ignore"  After reading the leaflet carefully and admiring the quality of the design, combined with the use of comic sans font... My message is "Why is there a black sticker on the front? Oh... was the printer stoned?"  Vote Liberal Democrat on November 8th.

This morning I wrote my dad (living in Corfu) a long email urging him to either vote by post or by proxy to stop the Tories. His mother has been suffering from dementia for a few years now and while she and my grandpa are fairly well off I imagine they'll still be hurt by the proposed policy. I've also pointed out to him that they'll be taking away free school meals from my daughter, and making it even more difficult for me to ever escape the private rental market. I'm trying to work up the courage to ask my grandparents themselves to vote Labour after what I assume is a lifetime of Toryhood. They live in East Hampshire where the Tory+UKIP vote is around 70% so there's precious little point, but if I can do anything I will. I urge everyone in the thread to talk to your families and friends in the next couple of weeks if you can. Any changed opinion is a win, and if those people can be sufficiently enthused to talk to others then the cascade effect might just help to turn the tide. On the other hand, hope is a lie.

Assange was interviewed by the Swedish police 6 months ago, remarkably efficient that it only took them 6 months to make a decision compared to the British police.

But they are extremely open to graft as anyone who's ever bought or sold a house will tell you, and if you don't think there's going to be a cottage industry of sharp-elbowed 22 year old graduate scheme bankers working in collaboration with surveyors to extract the most money possible from the emotionally and financially drained unpaid carers whose parents' houses are getting sold up then I have some PPI/equity mortgages/small business administration services to sell you.

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! LemonDrizzle posted:There is no reason whatsoever for an estate agent to be involved in the transaction if the buyer is the inheritor. If granny's family inherits her £150K house and £50,000 of that needs to pay off her care bills, they either need to produce that money from somewhere or sell the house. So for the people who'll struggle to meet that expense, that means an estate agent is getting involved no?
