That court stuff seems like a total waste of time then. Why didnāt the US just ask the Home Secretary to extradite him?
The court is responsible for deciding if a person meets all the criteria to be extradited. If the judge is satisfied this is the case, and all appeals have been exhausted, they must send the case to the Home Secretary for a decision to be taken on whether to order extradition.
The Home Secretary cannot extradite a person without a decision from the courts.

Ah OK, Assange and his team seem oddly relieved then, maybe theyāre unaware of the last few decades of Home Secretaries
You really have to hope this is a bounce from them āsavingā Christmas and the impacts of that decision will start to bite soon.

Yo what the actual fuck? Wales losing 10 parliamentary constituencies to make England better represented? Scotland losing two? Get fucked.
Like, properly get fucked.

hm. Iām kind of in two minds about this, thereās a huge imbalance, even more so when you look at those over the age of 18 (i.e. you include those who have been deliberately disenfranchised, donāt have a permanent address or who arenāt eligible to vote).

Yeah, you may well be right here, just an instinctual response
By 17:30 GMT on Wednesday, the pay of FTSE 100 chiefs will have overtaken the Ā£31,461 annual median wage for full time workers, the High Pay Centre says.
so half the population earn more than Ā£31.4k is that right?
Half of people who work full-fime earn more than Ā£31.4k.
It excludes part time/non workers (and potentially the self employed).

Thereās an inequality gap in that data though, surely? Any average has to account for the long tail of people who earn substantially less than that, and the grouping who earn substantially more
Anon
Full time PAYE workers, do you
- Earn more than 31k
- Less than 31k

No - youāre thinking of the mean income (Ā£37,100) which is affected inequality - the relatively small number of massively high earners skew the figure upwards.
Median is literally just half of people above, half of people below.

Median is the middle number rather than the average isnāt it? So 31.4K is the middle salary of you line up all FTE salaries in a big list

Is it half the people or half the salary values? Apologies, Iāve always had a bit of difficulty getting my head around this. @jarvis, is that what youāre aiming at too? Help an innumerate guy out!
This sort of thing is literally why I work with words rather than numbers
