All It Seams

No, there is no seamless garment that requires supporters of Tom Watson to oppose Julian Assange.

The print and broadcast media outlets accessible in the United Kingdom that have been, and remain, most supportive of Assange have been the Morning Star and RT, especially the Sputnik programme.

That paper, that station and that programme have also been, and remain, the most open to the indefatigable work of Exaro News.

By contrast, at today's Prime Minister's Questions, Assange was tediously denounced by Victoria Atkins MP.

Her behaviour towards Tom when he appeared before the Home Affairs Select Committee was disgraceful enough at the time, never mind knowing what we know now.

How does the Government Whip still extend to her?

Apparently, she is a barrister. Imagine being represented by her in court.

All attempts to track down anyone who had ever been represented by Tony Blair proved fruitless. Perhaps RT or the Morning Star should try and track down any past clients of Victoria Atkins?

There ought to be plenty of them languishing innocently in prison.

  1. To think the seat she squats on was occupied for 49 years by Sir Peter Tapsell, Keynesian anti-Thatcherite, Tory anti-neocon, Eurosceptic from the start, and sponsor of Sputnik's presenter when he was sworn in as the MP for Bradford West in 2012.
