| So who exactly is going to pay 'compensation' and 'compensation' on what grounds? Because he skipped bail and holed himself up for 3 + years in the Ecuador Embassy? |

No cheques, please! Cash up front, mate! Julian has a history of shitting on friends, one of whom put up bail and lost his cash, I believe. I´m willing to stand corrected on this and retract my comment if I´m proved wrong. His cheques are rubbery. |
Assange was and still is convinced of his self importance. He's Narcissistic. He's no Whistleblower.
Some of the people on this website might believe in the existence of some Western Evil Empires. Fine go move to and live in and stay in Allah's land. |

I´m no diplomat but I´m convinced that we could break off diplomatic relations with Ecuador if the Foreign Secretary considered it prudent. Closure of the the embassy would then be easy. |

| Given the impending referendum on the UK's membership of the EU, I'd say the question of diplomatic relations with Ecuador is not foremost in the Foreign Secretary's mind. |

I suggest that Assange escape using a diplomatic car (which legally cannot be searched), head to France through Eurotunnel, then head to the nearest airport with an Ecuadorian airline, et voilà, Assange will be safe from the UK's Act 1987.  |

Would you really inflict the misery of Paris Charles De Gaulle airport on him, Gregory?  |

Assange is on the run from the law - there is a legitimate EU warrant for his arrest for bona fide criminal charges.
Assange applied to France for refugee status in July 2015, but the French President refused his request saying ' France cannot act on his request. The situation of Mr Assange does not present an immediate danger'.
There was an interesting article in the New York Times yesterday " How Julian Assange is destroying WikiLeaks", arguing that what we need is a WikiLeaks without the founder of WikiLeaks - his personal politics undermines WikiLeaks' neutrality.
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/08/opinion/how-julian-assange-is-destroying-wikileaks.html
Meanwhile in Australia, an article ' Julian Assange - hero and villain'.

One small problem with your escape plan, 007. In the case of the Ecuadorian embassy the car would have to get up the steps and into the embassy itself, which I suppose, was once a West London mansion house.
Julian should have chosen a bigger embassy with vehicle access. |

| Are the police watching the embassy 24 hours a day? If not, I'm sure he could sneak out and probably has often already. |

Maybe he nips out for a few pints and a curry. Some good pubs in the area. |

British police must earn a lot more than their U.S. counterparts, for the cost of "policing his confinement" to have reached the £3.6 million being claimed.

£3.6 million?
Scotland Yard has spent about £10m providing a 24-hour guard at the Ecuadorean embassy in London since Wikileaks founder Julian Assange claimed asylum there, figures show.

"It is embarrassing to see the UK government spending more on surveillance and detaining an uncharged political refugee than on its investigation into the Iraq war, which killed hundreds of thousands," WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson said.
"[Sweden] is a country of impeccable democratic credentials with a well-respected judicial system that says [Julian Assange] should go to Sweden to face very serious allegations," he said.
