        @BBCBreaking Is an "impressive mistake"? Who will benefit? Ecuador needs economic development instead of being fooling around?

        @BBCBreaking Significant victory? More like a Pyrrhic victory. British government will not allow Assange to leave the country.

        @BBCBreaking hopefully our government will now storm the embassy and arrest him and all the embassy workers for assisting an offender.

        @BBCBreaking Before threatning to storm, British Government should think about the safety of our diplomats in Equator or even elsewhere!
