Geoffrey Robertson QC: The US is trying to CRUSH Julian Assange to deter future whistleblowers (E911)

We speak to Julian Assange’s former lawyer Geoffrey Robertson QC. He discusses the new indictments being brought by the US against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and why they have been brought at such a late stage, why the US is pushing so hard for his extradition, his belief that Julian Assange would get 50 years in prison if he is extradited to the US, alleged bugging of Ecuador’s embassy in London by the US to spy on Assange, his limited access to lawyers inside Belmarsh Prison and much more!

Finally, we speak to Dragons’ Den star and business mogul Deborah Meaden. She discusses the economic impacts of Covid-19, the turbulent environment small and medium-sized businesses face with coronavirus, as well as a potential no-deal Brexit at the end of the year, her disappointment in the government’s lack of clarity on Brexit, how she believes the economy must be transformed, and how the government must help the industries of the future out of the ashes of the economic ruin caused by coronavirus, which businesses will survive the greatest recession the world has faced and much more!
