I hope so! My God he's been hanging out there for 4 or 5 years. The Brits want him out of the country but they can't enter the embassy . They have to wait for him to try and sneak out sometime. I think the Ecuadoran ambassador is getting fed up too.

There's been a live feed posted in front of the embassy all day. It's dark there now and nothing's happened. Well, a couple of minutes ago a dude in a helmet tried to deliver a pizza.

The feed is from RT so I won't post it unless I am asked.

"BREAKING: A high level source within the Ecuadorian state has told @WikiLeaks that Julian Assange will be expelled within 'hours to days' using the #INAPapers offshore scandal as a pretext--and that it already has an agreement with the UK for his arrest," WikiLeaks tweeted from its verified account.

If he is ousted from the embassy, he could be arrested by British authorities and possibly extradited to the U.S., where he faces charges under seal.
