Apparently being pushed hard enough to start an international incident over.
(would be an Act of War)

surely not actually 'police'....

What would UK police be doing in Equador? Whence their jurisdiction?

 

[thoughtomator]

It's the Ecuadorian embassy in London they are threatening to storm... major act of war and colossal breach of civilized norms of international relations. If they go through with it, no embassy anywhere will be safe.

The Equador embassy in london.

The UK government is a piss (pun intended) of shit.

Thanks for this.

I'm getting out of this country as soon as I can. Not much left of the rule of law here.

What connection does Assange have with Equador? I mean, was he just walking down the sidewalk when the UK police spotted him so he ducked into the nearest embassy he could find?

you're late on the news that was hours ago already - apparently two unarmed cops were let in to talk, but they haven't started to storm the embassy

There just emerged a threat to storm the UK embassy in Tunisia if the Brits go through with their threat. These motherfuckers are about to set off World War III.

Thanks. Sometimes the time line is messed up on twitter, with retweets.

just an FYI... Julian Assange has never been charged with any crime in the UK or Sweden.

US/UK are worse than the Mafia... there's no rule of law for the tyrants running the empires.
