Hearing a rumour we might be getting a verdict in the Julian #Assange extradition appeal in early December.
Not definite of course
The magistrate's court has already ruled that Mr #Assange should not be extradited to the USA as, due to his mental health condition, and the conditions he would be held in, such an action would be "oppressive "
The American government has appealed this to the High Court.
1
A two day hearing was held on the issue last month before the Lord Chief Justice.
You can read full reports of those proceedings, and all the previous hearings here.

Meanwhile, Mr Assange remains in London's, high security, Belmarsh prison.

As .@LouiseMensch is having a wee go at me, a story.
In 2014 I was live tweeting a press misconduct case at the Old Bailey, and Ms Mensch angrily contacted me to demand why I was only reporting the prosecution case with no mention of the defence.
1
I had to gently remind her that I was reporting the Crown's opening address to the jury, which doesn't generally contain the defence position.

:)
I'm making light of it now, but then I was just starting out in court reporting, and having such a high profile person, a former MP, attacking you in public for being biased was quite frightening.

Ok, as a few of you asked, why Tom Newton Dunn doesn't like me, a thread.
1
In 2014 a Sun reporter, Clodagh Hartley, was on trial at the Old Bailey for paying a civil servant for advance details of the budget.

She told the court she was being put under extreme pressure from her immediate boss, Mr Newton-Dunn, to get scoops or she would be fired.

2
She also testified that she had lodged an official complaint against Mr Newton-Dunn for bullying and harrasment.

(For those that don't know Mr Newton-Dunn said I was not a "bone fide journalist,' on national TV when I was reporting the prorogation case from the Court of Session, so I was just being a bit catty there)
:)
I don't speak Latin, but I assume "bone fide," means "making up stories for money."

"Designing spaceships"?
#Newsnight
(Seriously Emily Matliss just asked what about MPs who are "designing spaceships?')

Would you get into a spaceship designed by a Tory MP? Image

The last big international protest in Scotland was the G8 at Gleneagles in 2005.
A couple of stories
A few of us noticed that there was always a large police presence outside Borders bookshop in Buchanan Street.
1
I asked and was told that the police had intelligence that some of the protest groups used the slogan "No Nations, no Borders," so they considered the bookshop under threat.
2
The second one. At the march at Gleneagles itself, a group of about 50 young people, dressed as clowns, (The Clown Army) wandered into a field outside the venue.
The next thing you know.
