Wiki-Wank

Room for one more, lads!

Talking about being given a large dose of the willies, Julian Assange has been extradited to Sweden. That's what allegations of rape and sexual assault bag you. That and the fact that he constantly stares knowingly into the middle distance while being really fucking irritating. The latter's not exactly an allegation though. From what I've seen of the bloke it's completely and utterly fucking true.

Now, Assange hasn't been found guilty of anything official so this blog might be worth shit soon. Yet I'm gripped by the celebs who so stridently declared his innocence when his tag nuts first hit the fan. Jemima Khan, Tony Benn, Bianca Jagger, Ken Loach...some of whom admit to never even having met the bloke, for Christ's sake. All that fucking indignance, all that placard waving, all that outraged jaw-setting...it's a fucking miracle that the bandwagon didn't career into the deepest ravine (but let's leave Jordan's ladyparts for another blog). 

What the fuck is wrong with these people? Were they really so desperate for a cause? How bored must Khan and Loach have been the week Assange first crawled out of the Wiki-woodwork? 

Aye, well they're not so fucking supportive now that Assange is getting bundled onto the first flight to Stockholm, are they? There's been no sign of Khan offering to pack his pants or Jagger bagging him an upgrade. I haven't noticed Benn escorting him from court or Loach promising an appeal either.
So where the fuck are they? Were they just too busy to be in court today? Or have they realised that the bandwagon they've been clinging to has a wonky wheel or two?
Can't wait to see how supportive said celebs will be from here on in. Or perhaps their press gimps will have little to say for once. Looks like they've had Stockholm Syndrome in more ways than one.
