Lots of these Guardian writers seem so ####ing ignorant to me. Looking back, something they seem incapable of; one can see that virtually all of the great political and religious dissenters and cultural rebels, were given the exact same labels as Assange, apart from 'rapist', that's a particular rhetorical device we employ to signal that he's really, Really, Bad! A cooked-up set of accusations designed to silence his supporters and play to the prejudices of the Hollywood, Metoo, generation of liberals, so obsessed with identity and gender labels. That the accusations against Assange are absurd and ridiculous, doesn't seem to worry them for a moment. Accusations so weak and thin, they vanish into insignificance the moment one subjects them to the slightest rational and objective analysis and scrutiny. But, hey ho, rape is rape, for the lobotomised.
