Wikileaks' Julian Assange to stay at Norfolk house

Quote:

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange will move from a prison cell in Wandsworth
to a country retreat in Norfolk when he is released from custody.
Ellingham Hall is a 10-bedroomed property set on 600 acres of land near Bungay on the Norfolk-Suffolk border.
The estate is owned by Vaughan Smith, a Wikileaks supporter who served in the British Army
before founding London's Frontline journalists' club.
Mr Assange must stay there as part of his bail conditions,
granted on Thursday by Mr Justice Ouseley at the Royal Courts of Justice.

Can someone bail me out of my parents' house so I can stay there too?
No incredibly subtle biting satire intended - I'd just like a break in a 10 bedroomed house in Norfolk to watch the snow come down.

A charming English cottage would do. The rates per week seem reasonable.

(If you're not paying tax and utilities maybe...)

I'll tell you what Sky - you rent a cottage any time you like, and I'll be your free driver, housekeeper and tourguide.
Well, when I say anytime, that will mean outside of term-time fairly quickly.
Get in soon for a real bargain!

Come now and we might even give you some snow

Ah soddit - come next week and have Christmas right here. We're not charming - at least our house isn't - but we're definitely English.
I've checked the freezer - we have enought to feed at least ten people. Twenty your size!

It looks drafty and cold there.

skysidhe · 12-16-2010, 02:48 PM

geez, I will take you up on that during my retirement years. Except, you'll be married with babies by then and I'll be an old lady. I promise. I won't be a biddie or wear attends. I just need a tour guide lively enough to keep both of us entertained. You'll do.

It can't be any draftier than where I live.

Maybe we can get the CIA to send in a Drone Strike.....

Because you didn't get a piece of the cake?

WikiLeaks needs to target B of A anyway so action was just a matter of time. I'm not keen on the wholesale dumping of information but WikiLeaks does have a positive role to play in our increasingly closed corporate and government cultures.

TheMercenary · 12-19-2010, 11:40 AM

I would say that there is value which may be gained from whistleblowers in closed corporate and government circles when it does not deal with stolen and classified data being dumped wholesale onto the world stage. Wikileaks is a criminal organization and should be treated as a form of internet terrorists.

Griff · 12-19-2010, 11:46 AM

I would suggest that way too much content is classified as shown by the hum drum nature of the bulk of the leaks.

I would agree. But it is not the job of the these criminals to make such determinations. Often the most innocuous bits of information pieced together gives the clear picture. By leaving out various bits your enemy can never get a clear picture about what you know or what you think. This is not the role of some fools who think they know better. So we are stuck with what we have at this point. If we need to make changes from this point forward, so be it. We can make changes.

I just realized Assange looks like Neil Patrick Harris. I keep expecting him to say: these leaks, they will be LEGEND....wait for it...ARY.
