Chief magistrate says he is "duty bound," to send the case to the Home Secretary and remanded Assange back into custody.

Would be surprised if Patel approves it, this party is big on optics and it doesn't look good considering the yanks didn't approve the extradition of that stupid Yank who drove on the wrong side of the road and killed Harry Dunn.

Hope she doesn't anyway.

I think I'd be surprised if she didn't, whilst saying she was sending him over for a fair trial

Optics being booze-measuring devices at all the lockdown parties? Entirely true.

But in terms of giving a flying fk about what the population think about them, they're tone deaf. So I'd be amazed if Patel doesn't decide to extradite Assange.

I doubt that the country at large gives a flying eff one way or the other about him or his situation.
