Assange is a c*ck

But looking into things Assange and the Ecuadorean president have been cozy for a while.

Anyway it is all hype and bluster. What I love is how the Ecuadorean government has said that the UK has threatened to "storm" the embassy.

Nowhere in any release from HMG have I seen the word "storm". Just reference to the 1987 law. Talk about blow out of proportion.

BTW EU human rights convention doesn't allow extradition of a person to a country where they might face the death penalty. I don't know if that only applies to EU citizens but on balance it would probably apply to anyone in the EU regardless of citizenship.

Great reading the comments on the BBC page...so many numb nuts there.

Heard a few good comments on various tv news channels during the course of the evening:

A former diplomatic ambassador from Britain has stressed he wouldn't like to see our authorities enter the building after having stripped it of its diplomatic status because that would set a precedent for any other country to do likewise to our diplomats abroad in the future.

Another 'expert' states Ecuador simply need to give Assange Ecudorian citizenship, then make him an Information Attache based in their London embassy and with that position he would automatically have diplomatic immunity.

Finally....Assange has supposedly twittered he will step out of the embassy this Sunday afternoon to make a public statement. (The band played 'Believe It If You Like').
