Assange Says Harrods Assisting Metro Police in 'Round-the-Clock Vigil'

Posted by timothy on from the now-it-costs-us-infinity-pounds dept.

The Daily Mail reports that Julian Assange seems to have yet another foe (or at least friend of a foe) watching persistently while he stays put in the Ecuadorean embassy in London: Harrod's Department Store. The Metro Police, according to Assange, have developed a relationship with the store, and are using that relationship to facilitate their full-time observation of his roosting place in the embassy. When the founder of Wikileaks says, "We have obtained documents from Harrods [saying that] police have people stationed 24 hours a day in some of the opposing buildings Harrods controls," it seems likely that those documents actually exist.

    The clerk at Herrod's isn't looking at you like that because he's spying, he's wondering why you're wearing those GAWDAWFUL shirts and can't take care of your hair.
     
    What are you doing with all your time in that embassy? Not showering or clothes shopping, that's for sure! Is it illegal to look good in Ecuador?

    You shouldn't be worried about fascists coming after you, it's fashionistas who have a real vendetta!

    I propose that 10% of the country's budget go toward watching Assange do nothing and not move all day.

    This is ESSENTIAL to the security of the country.
    Think of the poor politicians the truth is harming.
