Britain's reputation was already garbage. Arresting and keeping Assange on some bogus US bullshit meant to continue state power that was getting handily thrashed and made fool of by leaks... only served to confirm the fact that both countries suck. The coming next generation of leaks has evolved past the weakness of publishers gatekeepers middlemen lords, and other such redundancies inefficiencies profits filters, the goods will just get dumped onto the distributed networks where their inhabitants and journos can find them, no one to arrest anymore, while the unalterable uncensorable hash index to the data remains bare and beautiful for all to see. Leak at will. #FreeAssange
