Julian Assange's participation at the Oxford Union Sam Adam's Award, honouring Whistleblowers from the Intelligence Community, made Simone Webb, Oxford Student  LGTQ officer, and Zoe Stavri (AnotherAngryWoman) organise protests outside Oxford Union and the Ecuadorian Embassy, London respectively, on the basis that Julian Assange was evading justice and therefore he should not be given a platform to speak at the Oxford Union Sam Adams award. In the planned London protest, no protestor actually turned up, not even the organiser. 

Outside the Ecuadorian Embassy the well attended Daily Vigil in support of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks saw its numbers swell as ppl hearing of the planned protest went down to Hans Crescent, Knightsbridge to stand in solidarity. Two journalists came to cover the anti-Assange protest witnessed that this was a non event but did not walk away empty handed as my amateur video captures. 

At the end of a previous video, here: http://youtu.be/RVYjG6RgQyE you see my interaction with a young man (Fell) who I had heard speak to supporters while I was filming the  Cherwell journalist. Fell caught my attention because he seemed to be not genuine in his enquiries and his manner of conversation reminded me of a pattern I have often come across on-line by what are often referred to as Trolls, to see the attempts of someone so young trying to lead a conversation, assuming a style of authority to defuse and confuse encouraged me to go over, film him and question him.


In this video, Fell a 'WikiLeaks supporter but not an Assange supporter' tells Maxwell Ward, student Journalist at the City University London Radio & TV Broadcasting, his opinions on the occasion of a protest that never happened.
