    I would probably, though probably not, support the students in their stance on Assange; if he'd been found guilty of a serious sex crime in a court of law and sentenced. Only he ha'dnt. He wasn't even charged. He was accused of... some kind of sexual offence and was under investigation, but that's all; so the actions of the students was, I think, both hysterical and blatantly totalitarian in character.

    The dreadful power of identity and gender politics is that it's re-established and legitimised the 'justice' and emotions of the witch-hunt and that's incredibly worrying, and I think more of a threat than the crimes the students and others are so angered by.
