had to do some digging to bring this guy back from the dead.....
If the US charges are foreplay, then the UK is commencing the forced sodomy. But thankfully Ecuador is keeping Assange in their embassy..... for now.

Quote:
Just before the announcement of asylum, President Rafael Correa rejected British efforts to secure a handover, saying on his Twitter account: “No one is going to terrorize us!” The night before, Mr. Patiño said that the British authorities had threatened to force their way into the embassy, to which he responded: “We are not a British colony.” http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/17/world/americas/ecuado...
Interesting times.
I wonder if Britain plans to trash the entire diplomacy thing?
What Govt would want an embassy in Britain if that happened?
Britain's last surviving skill ... political mediation ... might be going down the gurgler faster than the money and superpower status ran out of the place many years ago.
RIP GB ...
Even the Chinese and the Ruskies always respected another foreign power's embassy and the principles of diplomatic immunity.
As this rate Assange might well be remember one day as the guy who caused a war and was at the centre of the fall of a world political structure... instead of the guy who made public a heap of sensitive documents ... and porked a few Swedish hookers.
