Will Julian Assange ever leave the Ecuardorian embassy in London?
On 18th August Julian Assange told a news conference that he’d leave the Ecuadorian embassy in London “soon”. It’s now the 4th September and still he remains there.
“Soon” means “imminently” or “in a short time”. The Wikileaks founder, however, plainly interprets the word very differently.
Two stories to keep beside you
Let’s be having you
What became of Julian Assange’s pledge to “leave soon”? On the 18th August, Julian Assange announced he’d be leaving the Ecuadorian Embassy in London “soon”. Two months have passed and given he’s still there, he’s yet again proven himself to be a liar and an utter pest.

Mr Steeples,
Is his prolonged stay an imposition on you? I struggle to see the problem with his self-imposed asylum, unless the Ecuadorians no longer are happy to host him.
Thoughts?
Atb,
Tom.
Tom: The bill of around £7m to police it thus far is a bill on us all. It has to end at some point and the sooner, the better.
I think the answer is fairly obvious. As Londoners we pay the Met bill
Blue beard is no bother to me, you see I live in Margate. We operate on a shoe string budget…..It will give Andrew Llyod Webber something to do , compose another rock musical…….
Matthew…….I think you have got this one wrong
I smell the dirty tricks department at work
Assange has been neutered and potentially disgraced
Seven million – what to keep a SWAT team on stand by?
The Police just love a supposed deviant!
‘ It’s their moothers ah blame ‘
The sooner we all see the back of this ghastly self-serving, sanctimonious little prat the better. I sincerely hope that the US do get their hands on him and he rots in jail over there; a forgotten little berk drowning in his own vanity.
Hey man have you seen those diplomats wives and daughter?! Now you know why he ain’t ganna leave anytime soon. Oh yeah did i mention the great cuisine that is served up every day? It makes the Ritz look like a third world BB.
Oh i forgot to mention the Orgy-parties they have once a week at the embassy washed down with two hundred year old vintage wines and whiskeys.
So it is “Up Pompeii shit” Who is the Frankie Howerd character in the embassy? I am going to see the Assange movie after all. Dirty buggers…… No wonder he charges £30000 for lunch….
