The UK government is spending millions on a police stakeout of the embassy. While this is nominally about a sex offence, given what has been reported about what happened, is that really a good use of my tax money?

I've had belongings in excess of 5000 GBP stolen. All I got from the Met was a victim support letter, no more than 50p worth of paper, envelope and franking.

So to me there is clearly a political agenda in his persecution; there is a conspiracy against him. In defence of liberty and in opposition to government tyranny, I cannot, in good conscience, not support him, in some way.
