        Right on. Leaks revealed Kim Jung was seen as "chubby chap" to UK intel. If this, and rest, is "Top Secret" then world in trouble. @Reuters

        @Reuters In this United Kingdom we use the law not the tank, no British person would ever give orders to rush a London embassy.

        @Reuters where did that come from? no one in this UK, it's not 1981, and it's not the Embassy of IRAN, and J.A. went to them, get real.

        @Reuters They could call themselves #Iranians. The world would blush; & diplomatic rules would dissolve overnight. Brits should know better

        @Reuters Bad precedent. What would be different then when Iran occupied their embassy a few months ago, or the American embassy in 1980?

        @Reuters This would be a clear violation of international law and the protocols of the Vienna Convention. Clearly Britain is in the wrong.
