He's in the Ecuadorean embassy, mate. The worst thing that could possibly happen is the British officers break in and find a woman carrying a crystal ball.

yeah ok. say what you will about assange and not using a condom when you leak your willy, but you can't be ignoring sovereignty and the associated diplomatic agreements.

They are allowed to revoke the diplomatic status of the embassy with one weeks notice.

By expelling them, you mean? Isn't there a law protecting the people inside a closed embassy from being caught as they return to country the embassy belongs to?
