@thinking_panda We do celebrate it in the U.K., but we celebrate it on the first Monday in May, so not necessarily on the 1st. This year it will be on the 5th.

JULIAN ASSANGE IS FREE

Julian Assange is free. He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of 24 June, after having spent 1901 days there. He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the UK.

This is the result of a global campaign that spanned grass-roots organisers, press freedom campaigners, legislators and leaders from across the political spectrum, all the way to the United Nations. This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the US Department of Justice, leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalised. We will provide more information as soon as possible.

After more than five years in a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours a day, he will soon reunite with his wife Stella Assange, and their children, who have only known their father from behind bars.

WikiLeaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions. As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles, and for the people's right to know.

As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.

Julian's freedom is our freedom.

@mayemusk More people should visit China

Well I suppose it would depend on if you stood for the continued genocide of their people. Or if, like thousands of Jews around the world, you were standing up for the victims of this atrocity!

Meanwhile, in London…
Ask yourself if you would walk through this mob wearing a kippah or Star of David.

@Sungilsm_ A successful reunification would drastically improve the security of East Asia and reduce the instability of the region that’s for sure. The Americans being in the middle of it heightens tensions and the risk of war more than anything NK has ever done.

@jakenbakeLIVE it’s finally happening! China are allowing tourists again! https://t.co/hoUtAbq91a

The Last of Us seems like a pretty faithful adaptation of the original game but I think it was cowardly to leave out the scene where joel gets killed 18 times in the first clicker room and considers getting a refund

[Elliot Walton @EJ_Walton]

@jakenbakeLIVE It will happen sometime soon I’m sure! Hopefully after CNY!

DEBUNK: There have been a few Western media reports claiming China's COVID situation is dire, with fever clinics overflowing and people dying left and right. Let's go take a look together!

⚠️PLEASE RE-TWEET

Couldn’t believe it. I was just waiting for my girlfriend to get off work and I see @AndyBxxx walk by!

[Elliot Walton @EJ_Walton]

@thinking_panda Yeah it’s a massive flaw in our election system that we don’t technically vote for who’s prime minister, we vote for local politicians. The local politicians then choose the prime minister, with the help of paying party members. Yay for democracy am I right? 🤣

@SweetSummerSN @KieHirako9700 Ahh okay, hopefully the soft measures will do the job. China being stable right now is the only thing keeping the world together and it doesn’t bare to think what could happen nationally and worldwide if it gets out of hand in the mainland

[Elliot Walton @EJ_Walton]

@SweetSummerSN @KieHirako9700 Shanghai authorities have said that a lockdown won’t be necessary, I wonder if they are trying to stick to the more relaxed approach as much as possible 🤔 guess we’ll have to wait and see

The Guardian has published more stories about Ukraine just today than it has published about Yemen in all of 2022.

[Elliot Walton @EJ_Walton]

The same year Tony Blair is awarded the highest honour possible and Julian Assange continues his fight from behind bars…double standards on war crimes or what 🙄

[Reuters @Reuters]

UK says Russian commanders will be held to account for war crimes https://t.co/qAP4WyeNLY

@Tom_Fowdy Is it just me that doesn’t really understand why we (U.K.) are part of this? Aus buying subs from US, so that makes sense, but what are we doing that isn’t already covered by other treaties and deals i.e. five eyes, commonwealth etc ? Seems pointless to me
