21st September 1968: broadcast of second episode of The Mind Robber. Jamie turns into someone else with the same name; team Tardis meet Lemuel Gulliver and end up being charged by a unicorn.
21st September 1986: broadcast of third episode of Time and the Rani. Yet more running around with the Doctor ending up plugged into the machine which will drain his brain.
On the first point, I agree that many of Assange’s supporters are irrational about this. I think his own behaviour is much better explained by a rational fear of what will happen if he faces charges in Sweden. He knows the geopolitics of this as well as I do (which is after all why he went to Sweden in the first place).
On the second point, Sweden’s system is objectively rather better in this regard than a lot of other countries; this is why so many people have difficulty believing that it’s true. If there was one EU country one might expect to use the European Arrest Warrant for this purpose, no matter who the alleged perpetrator, it would be Sweden.
