Your Man in the Public Gallery: Assange Hearing Day 20
Tuesday has been another day on which the testimony focused on the extreme inhumane conditions in which Julian Assange would be kept imprisoned in the USA if extradited.

The antithesis of care
For an NHS psychiatrist working with schizophrenic patients, it’s not unusual to witness people suffering from severe paranoia.

UK: Watch: What you need to know about the Coronavirus Act
Let’s make sure we don’t blame the wrong people here. The police are not the enemy, nor are many government agencies that are operating under difficult circumstances.
