I gave my sister Jose's phone number so she can let him know when I die. Not to tell SA really but just the few goons I've befriended.

I bet Jose would just forget to tell them though lmfao

RIP Loafer. I hope you get access to toilets wherever you are
If you're expecting Jose to commemorate your death you'd better bequeath him pics of your butt

I have a semi-relatable train station poop story that I will bring up in honour of Loafer, seems fitting to share it now.

I was in Copenhagen after Roskilde festival one year with some friends, we had a flight to Amsterdam the next day and we'd arrived at Copenhagen train station at night. They let us onto the platform to wait for our train to the airport and I really needed a poo poo. They wouldn't let me back in to the station to poop but luckily the platform had an exit right onto the street into central Copenhagen. I spent around 10 minutes running around deserted streets at like 3am looking for a suitable place to drop trou and found a back alley where I let it all out and scooped the majority of it into a dustbin with the toilet paper I brought with me. I have never felt so disgusting yet relieved.

What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)
I really don't want to accept Loafer's really gone until there's ironclad confirmation. That's probably an unhelpful attitude to take but it's one more thing I'd rather not have to deal with right now :smith:

The embassy is apparently liaising with UK police, so he'll be arrested as soon as he steps back on British soil. After that, who knows?

quote:

Man down. Again. Ministers are now resigning quicker than Theresa May can get round to finding someone to replace them. But Chris Heaton-Harris, the junior minister in the Brexit department who left government on Wednesday over the Leader in Name Only’s decision to appoint Jeremy Corbyn as interim prime minister, will be missed less than most. Not because he was particularly bad at his job but because his job never really existed in the first place.

The Brexit department has become the government’s meta joke. It exists purely so it can be seen to exist. A metaphor for the absence of power. The sole function of Stephen Barclay, Robin Walker and Kwasi Kwarteng – the three remaining Brexit ministers – is entirely decorative. Their jobs are non jobs. McJobs. They may get smart cars, large offices and phones to play games on, but in return they are expected to, wherever possible, smile nicely and say nothing. Something they by and large do very well.

The McMinisters know it, everyone knows it. There was a time before everyone wised up to the existential futility of the department, that several hundred MPs would turn up for Brexit questions. On the morning after the Commons had passed Yvette Cooper’s bill to force the government to seek an extension to article 50 in the event of no deal, there were barely a handful of Tory MPs in the chamber to hear Barclay explain how the government planned to react.

No Grand Wizard of Mogg. No Steve Baker. No Bill Cash. Not even Mark Francois, the bloated blowhard of the paramilitary wing of the ERG who has yet to find something he can’t get red-faced about. Just a few stragglers who hadn’t had a home to go to when the Commons adjourned the previous night. The opposition benches were rather fuller. Just for the entertainment value.

Probably not? He'll be arrested for breaching his bail conditions but most likely just going to be fined for that, it's unlikely we'll even deport him back to Australia.

He'll get done for skipping bail, probably receive a fine or light custodial sentence, then the Americans may ask for him to be extradited, all of which makes a total mockery of his and his supporters claims about forcing him back to Sweden so he can be black-bagged.

Nobody should be extradited to the US until they get their loving horrorshow of a prison system under some semblance of control.

I'm pretty sure there's nothing concrete that the US would want him extradited, just a whisper campaign by Wikileaks types? I would not be surprised if he walks out, gets a slap on the wrist by a UK court, and fucks off to wherever he pleases.

edit: and whatever he did, isolating yourself in a small embassy for seven years and then finding out it was for naught is a nice, mythologically ironic punishment

He was arrested and questioned under caution by the Met multiple times, who also made an appointment for him to surrender for his extradition the day before he decided he was defintiely about to be rendered.

The guy's a rapist trying to avoid consequences for his crimes, gently caress him.

She already had that chance when he was in the UK, sitting in a UK jail. Jesus loving Christ, that's the whole part of his story that just makes no loving sense.

No wait, better to trap him on a rape charge in Sweden, make the UK extradite him to Sweden so he can be whisked off to the US.

After that it became "Oh Sweden will just extradite him to the US" but as far as I know there has never been any move made by the US to have him extradited. I am happy to be proven wrong!

Edit: Oh yeah, there is a sealed indictment, right
