Thread: England spends $5.7m on stakeout

I thought something non-US would be a bit refreshing:

Julian Assange stakeout at Ecuadorean embassy costs Met police £3.8m | Media | guardian.co.uk

The cost of maintaining a round-the-clock guard outside the Ecuadorian embassy to prevent the escape of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has risen to £3.8m, the Metropolitan police have revealed.

The amount, which covers the period between June 2012 and the end of May 2013, was disclosed in response to a letter to London assembly member Jenny Jones, who said the constant police presence outside the embassy in Knightsbridge, west London, was stretching resources, describing it as ridiculous.

I have to agree that it is ridiculous the amount of money, manpower, and time they are spending on keeping one guy from leaving a building. As far as the article sounds, they are still going at it too. Hell he even said he wouldn't leave the building even if Sweden dropped the charges (if you believe him or not is another story).



And you thought we wasted money.

Does this Price include the Hookers and room service?

Probably not, London hookers probably cost 5.6 million dollars alone.

Cheaper to import your hookers from France. Just remember to double-bag.
