Appeals are not a right in the UK and rarely granted. This is a highly political case, so it might get herd. I hope he goes free. Assange is a true Australian hero, even though his own government abandoned him.

I would be frankly _amazed_ if in this case the High Court doesn't allow an appeal. And I'd be surprised if the Supreme Court didn't too. It's such a high profile and politicised case that it's incredibly likely to be viewed to be in the public interest.
