1. Assange is not being "held without charge".

He's in voluntary, self-imposed exile waiting for the statute of limitation on rape charges to run out.

Leave it to Julian to try to find a personal silver lining in today's news.

4. He has made pro-Brexit noises for the last week or so and the OP explains that IMO

Julian Assange backs Vote Leave

You are, of course, correct that his extended visit to the embassy does not qualify as "held without charge"

2. Even Julian is using this to get attention

It is strange how everyone is trying to tie this to their particular pet cause. It's like it's too boring itself, so we have to spice it up with how it has to do with the US elections, other economies, etc. Now Julian weighs in. And why would there be any reason to "scrap" the warrant? Is there any legal effect that would do this. Probably only in Julian's mind.
