What has annoyed me is the number of national commentators, who should know better, wittering on about 'Spanish civil war blah blah, it's just like Scotland blah blah, the end of the EU blah blah' etc.
History is indeed repeating itself, but as the saying goes it's first in tragedy then in farce.
'Political Asylum' in Belgium indeed! Has he ever been to Belgium? I have and I think on balance I'd prefer Assange's cupboard in the Ecuadorian Embassy. I suspect the food is better for starters.
