WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange tried to hide his bail address from the public in an astonishing move for the man responsible for leaking thousands of diplomatic secrets.
Assange's lawyers argued that the location - a 10-bedroom stately home - should not be disclosed on grounds of privacy during yesterday's hearing at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court.
But the move was dismissed by District Judge Howard Riddle, who ruled not to reveal the address would conflict with Assange's commitment to open justice.
The judge insisted the address - Captain Vaughan Smith's Ellingham Hall on the Norfolk/Suffolk border - was read out in open court as usual.

I love irony.
This is rich.
What a maroon. Someone needs to get this info and publish it quick.
Payback’s a bitch, ASS_ange.
Whatever happened to transparency???LOL
Hey, go to www.searchwarp.com and read some of articles there, which say Assange is a hero, for his transparency in his search for truth...there is a comment section!
Just another useful idiot liberal hypocrite.
Anarchy is great! As long as it’s getting him laid by the easy hippy chicks. But then it’s bad when he needs it to be.

Privacy? I want Assange to have to swallow those endoscopic camera pills so everyone on the web can constantly watch him inside and out.

MestaMachine : schadenfreude of the year ping!
I’ve heard people say that the crime of murder should be punished with 30 days in jail. Then, in the newspaper, publish their address and the date of their expected release.
Expected result: society will deal with the problem.

Other than making murderous vigilantism America’s other national pastime, it’s great for a laugh.
How ironic. If or when Julian Assange returns home, it should be to a burning pile of rubble.
That would be at least ‘some’ measurement of justice.
Typical leftist!
District Judge Howard Riddle, a hero in my book :)
“So whos paying for these stately accommodations?”
THAT is the BIG question. Could it be...oh, i don’t know....SOROS?????
