I see that Julian Assange finally got arrested today. I suspect this will be almost as decisive as Brexit in that many people feel that he is some kind of folk hero and many feel that he's just a criminal trouble-maker. I'm fairly ambivalent toward him, on the one hand some of that wiki-leaks stuff has been useful in resetting the ever accumulating power imbalance between state and citizen (always a good thing) but then again a more smug clever-clogs you would struggle to find! Looking at the images of his arrest though I'm surprised about one thing... I would have expected him to be the size of a house after eating nothing but Ferrero Rocher for seven years!
