Although I'd prefer Assange to go to Sweden, I would find this solution acceptable...

Foreign Office; ‘Ecuador can keep Assange as long as they take Galloway as well’

In a move that has surprised most but pleased many, the British Government has given Ecuador one final option to resolve the current diplomatic crisis. They can keep Julian Assange, but have to take George Galloway as well.

This is not the first time Galloway has backed unpopular characters. In the lead up to the Iraq War, Mr Galloway sympathised with Saddam Hussain. He told Iraqi State television ‘when a citizen declares he would die for his country, he shouldn’t have to be asked again before testing chemical weapons on him and his village. His initial consent means it’s not genocide.’

However, the ‘2 for 1’ deal being offered by William Hague has not worked as well as hoped, with Ecuador offering to hand Assange back to Britain, as long as the Bradford West MP comes nowhere near the Embassy, or South America. This had led to reports that Police are planning to storm the building to smuggle Galloway in.
