" ... Today, this small industrial centre, 40 miles west of Stockholm, remains best-known — if known at all — as the birthplace of the adjustable spanner. ..."
" ... one U.S. politician has called on him [JUlian Assange] to be executed for ‘spying’. ... "

" ... The story began on August 11 this year, when Assange arrived in Stockholm.
" ...The most likely interpretation of events is that as a result of a one-night stand, one participant came to regret what had happened.
Jessica [pseudonym for plaintiff] was worried she could have caught a sexual disease, or even be pregnant: and this is where the story takes an intriguing turn. She then decided to phone Sarah [pseudonym for plaintiff] — whom she had met at the seminar, and with whom Assange had been staying — and apparently confided to her that she’d had unprotected sex with him.
At that point, Sarah said that she, too, had slept with him.
" ... By Sunday morning, the news had leaked to the Press.
Indeed, it has been suggested that the two women had discussed approaching a tabloid newspaper to maximise Assange’s discomfort. By now, the authorities realised they had a high-profile case on their hands and legal papers were rushed to the weekend home of the chief prosecutor, who dismissed the rape charge.
" ... Earlier this year, Sarah [pseudonym for plaintiff] is reported to have posted a telling entry on her website, which she has since removed. But a copy has been retrieved and widely circulated on the internet.
Entitled ‘7 Steps to Legal Revenge’, it explains how women can use courts to get their own back on unfaithful lovers.
" ... Step 7 says: ‘Go to it and keep your goal in sight. Make sure your victim suffers just as you did.’ (The highlighting of text is Sarah’s [pseudonym for plaintiff] own.)" ... As for Assange, he remains in hiding in Britain, and his website continues to release classified American documents that are daily embarrassing the U.S. government.

An adjustable spanner or adjustable wrench is a spanner (wrench) with a "jaw" of adjustable width, allowing it to be used with different sizes of fastener head (nut, bolt, etc.). Compared to an ordinary spanner, which is of fixed size, and requires a different spanner for each fastener size. An adjustable spanner may also be called a shifting spanner, shifter, fit-all, crescent wrench or adjustable-angle head wrench.
In Europe so-called French key
In Europe so-called English key
In many European countries (e.g. France, Germany, Spain and Italy) it is called an "English key" as it was invented in 1842 by the English engineer, Richard Clyburn. Improvements followed; on 22 September 1885, one Enoch Harris received US patent 326868[1] for his wrench that permitted both the jaw width and the angle of the handles to be adjusted and locked. Other countries, like Denmark and Israel, refer to it as a "Swedish key" as its invention has been attributed to the Swede, Johan Petter Johansson, who in 1891 received patent for an improved design of the adjustable spanner. Johansson's spanner was a further development on Clyburn's original "screw spanner". And in some countries (e.g. Hungary, Iran, Slovenia, Poland, Romania) it is called "French key".
There are many forms of adjustable spanners, from the taper locking spanners which needed a hammer to set the movable jaw to the size of the nut, to the modern screw adjusted spanner.
Some adjustable spanners that automatically adjust to the size of the nut. Simpler models use a serrated edge to lock the movable jaw to size, while more sophisticated versions are digital types that use sheets or feelers to set the size.
Monkey wrenches are another type of adjustable spanner with a long history; the origin of the name is unclear.[2]
