That is what was mentioned today on radio 2 ,declaring the building "not an embassy" removing Assange and then declaring the building an embassy again is fraught with problems and basically makes the idea of Embassies being a particular countries soil worthless and if the UK ever did that it would certainly raise a few eye brows ,
imagine if we ever tried that on the US embassy
