Just in case anyone ever doubted it – after rolling over on every US demand to to turn our country into one of their many military bases – Australia is a #VassalState

The US is claiming that anyone anywhere in the world who acts against its perceptions of US interests is able to be extradited to their country & imprisoned for life. Australia’s objections on one particular case, where there was a clear public interest for documents to be published by a non-US resident – not the principle – are brushed aside.
Does anyone doubt that we are now a #VassalState? #FreeJulianAssange

@gwenbot Good. I'm glad. Because it still seems to be somewhat of a toss up whether #Scotland has the guts to cut the apron strings that still tie it to #England. So the more England shows it will override the will of #Scottish people, the more #Scots will say that #EnoughIsEnough of England treating Scotland like a #VassalState and a #DoorMat. Go on England, show us how #RottenToTheCore you really are.
