Get arrested for telling the truth about the worst government in history, impossible other wise me and STEED would have been locked up years ago

The Diplomatic and Consular Premises Act 1987 would work in this case.

It wouldn't work in this case Otto.
The provisions in that Act only cover change of status by the Secretary of State if it is done in compliance with the relevant international law and treaties, which puts it back under the vienna conventions which means it can only do it with Equadors approval.

Britain really screwed up with its threatening letter.
What on earth were they thinking

It could be a while before anything happens though, to be fair, there's the case of József Mindszenty who spent 15 years in the US embassy in Hungary, so Assange might just decide to sit it out, but to be honest, waiting until the limelight has passed doesn't strike me as Assanges MO, the guy is all about being IN the limelight as much and as long as possible. To be fair, his personal survival may depend on it, it's harder to have an accident when the worlds media is watching you...

Go down the road that Steed proposed and it would be a real possibility. Once you take a step on that road, there's no turning back.

Joss Ackland sounds like Palpatine in that clip

Palpatine: "And now, witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational Diplomatic Immunity..."

Vader: "It's just been revoked" *throws Palpatine down the pit*

The sad part is that given the state of the British military they would not be able to prosecute a war against Ecuador without the help of us...

We wouldn't even need to attack Ecuador, we'd just 'discover' vast oil reserves in the region and sit back and let you do it for us.

"So are you sure burying this barrel of oil in the ground is enough?"
"Dig faster!"
