    I scrolled down Leigh's feed and he'd RT'ed this report from Press Gazette:

    Julian Assange suffers from auditory hallucinations including hearing voices saying “we’re coming to get you”, a psychiatrist told his extradition hearing today

    Somehow I don't think he's quoting this out of concern for JA, more like trying to discredit anything he says as paranoid ramblings. Inexcusable and borderline ghoulish in the current circumstances.

    A search for 'assange' comes up with no results since February when he was complaining to Jonathan Cook and others apparently about the 'hoax' that he was the one who dropped the Wikileaks password:

    Please don't publish this hoax nonsense: it doesn't help Assange's cause

    Please stop publishing this nonsense. Assange is trying to perpetrate an elaborate hoax about this 'password'. It does not help his cause.

    Other tweets follow the Assange-is-a-bastard-but-free-speech line, eg:

    Although Assange was a bloody fool to help Trump into power, these charges are a grave threat by a would-be dictator to all journalists who publish US secrets.


    Harding hasn't got anything on Assange since the Manafort 'exclusive' in 2018, and prior to that all the black propaganda MI6 was channeling through him:

    He has got this, the most recent tweet below the plug for his latest Russiagate conspiracy book:

    The #Zimbabwean novelist Tsitsi Dangarembga faces imprisonment for taking part in a peaceful protest, with a hearing today. I and other ⁦@FaberBooks authors have put our names to a letter calling for her acquittal

    What an honorable and gracious act to help save somebody facing state persecution! (Multiple swear words spring to mind...)

    jeers,
    I
