There's a Glenn Greenwald article on the Intercept from just over a week ago saying Assange is about to be kicked out of the embassy and handed over to the UK: https://theintercept.com/2018/07/21/ecuador-will-imminently-withdraw-asylum-for-julian-assange-and-hand-him-over-to-the-uk-what-comes-next/ https://theintercept.com/2018/07/21/ecuador-will-imminently-... Also, there's been a bunch of stuff about anti-semitism in the UK media recently. Interesting timing and content for this story.

Yes the great Jewish conspirators are pulling the strings.... Seriously what has HM come to these days.

  It's "HN", not "HM". Also, it never occurred to me for a second that "Jewish conspirators" are involved. But hey, enjoy whatever you enjoy being angry about.

    No, surely it didn't, you just decided to tie completely unrelated events to Corbin's own antisemitism that was brought to a boiling point in the UK.

      It's "Corbyn", not "Corbin". There are claims that Wikileaks is anti-semitic, at the same time that there are discussions about anti-semitism in the UK media, at the same time as a rumour that the head of Wikileaks is about to be handed over to the UK government. It's an interesting coincidence, and if you wanted to accuse me of being a conspiracy nut, you'd probably claim that I was accusing the UK government of pulling strings in the media. But no, you accused me of claiming that "Jewish conspirators" are pulling strings instead. There is no logic in the connection you made. And even when I told you that you misinterpreted me, you still don't believe it. I mean, what would I gain from making a point, and then denying that very point? There is just no reasoning with some people. Believe what you want.
