Last week, the UK announced that South Africa would remain on its travel ‘red list’. The reasoning doesn’t hold up under basic scrutiny.

While Julian Assange, the white-haired founder of whistleblower website WikiLeaks, is busy getting comfortable for what looks like an extended stay at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, hacker activist group Anonymous has been getting busy. Uniting under the banner of “Operation Free Assange”, the group soon rallied their support against the British Government.
