        Usual procedure when you're not happy with your hotel, is to go to another one, or just go home.

        Dear Ecuadorian Government, just remove his protection and throw him out of the embassy. I’ll look after his cat!!

        I look forward to his appearance in Court to argue that Ecuador's Embassy where he has been freeloading for six years does not have Sovereign Immunity under the Vienna Conventions - and on a more balanced note, what a total prick! #JulianAssange #Wikileaks

        GBR has been extremely diplomatic. They should have just gone in and taken him but I understand the courtesy granted to each other’s embassies. If in the US, I would hope we would have stormed the castle long ago. It is their country after all.

        Problem is, if you stop respecting other countries embassies, yours will receive the same treatment.

        Illustrates why, as horrible as the Saudi’s killing their own citizen was, it’s not always as easy as it seems to solve relationship issues between interdependent nations, especially strongly allied ones.

        You couldn't make this up. Perhaps he should try one of the Scandinavian embassies as they're very liberal..... Oh wait.....

        Now, I'm not a legal man, but if I were the Ecuadorian govt, I cited Doorius Nothityouonthearsisus and chuck him out, the photocopier room hogging bell.

        He is free to walk out of there whenever he wants to... unless you mean “free from facing the same legal processes that anyone else would have to face given the allegations levelled at him”, in which case, no.
