Assange has had plenty of time to leave the UK and didn't, my first question on that is WHY didn't he?..
There are a myriad of ways to get in and out of this country, and yet he chose to stay and only at the last moment went to Ecuadorian embassy.. bah..
With his supporters he could have easily pulled a Lord Lucan.. and easy is an understatement.
Really? He's pretty famous, and watched all the time? I doubt he'd be able to escape unnoticed.
Of course he could, there are plenty of points of exit, and a hair cut/hair dye and no one would notice him..
I mentioned Lord Lucan as his car was found here, abandoned, and to be honest there is absolutely nothing to stop anyone entering or leaving the country here, and I know the same is true of airfields/harbors the country over.

If watched all the time, how did he get into an Embassy? if he can elude the Police and get in an Embassy then he can elude them and get out of the country.. which is why I think this smells fishy.

True though I still don't think he'd find it easy to leave, unless the Equadorians had a ship waiting...

Not really, is actually quite easy.. if it was me, and I had a bit of cash (which i don't) I'd be on a boat to France (Newhaven/Shoreham - Dieppe, perhaps a fishing boat) then onto a small private airport, ideally I would aim for what are known as Club airports (club airports exist in and in some respects outside of the system)
From there get flown (in something the size of a single piston Commander) to a small airfield in Northern Spain, second leg to a small airfield in Southern Spain (outside somewhere like Malaga) and then over the Med to Africa.. from there perhaps move to a commercial airline?
Have done similar routes, and know people how use those routes, not the last stage though, never been to South America, and yes, all legit, nothing illegal.
At no point are you asked who you are as a passenger or to produce ID/Passports, obviously, club airports do tend to check the pilot/planes certs if they are not known to them, but given that most pilots fly between club airports all the time, so it is highly doubtful and the requester is usually a member of the club and not the authorities.
And that is something people with money know all about.. Am sure those with real money who support Assange could arrange something better than my lackadaisical plan

UK threatens to storm Ecuador embassy to arrest Julian Assange
The diplomatic standoff over WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange escalated on Wednesday after Britain threatened to raid Ecuador’s embassy in London if Quito did not hand over Assange, who has been taking refuge there for two months.
The Ecuadorean government said such an action would be considered a “hostile and intolerable act” as well as a violation of its sovereignty.
“Under British law we can give them a week’s notice before entering the premises and the embassy will no longer have diplomatic protection,” a Foreign Office spokesman said.
“But that decision has not yet been taken. We are not going to do this overnight. We want to stress that we want a diplomatically agreeable solution.”
Quito bristled at the threat and said it would announce its decision on Assange’s asylum request on Thursday at 7 a.m.
“We want to be very clear, we’re not a British colony. The colonial times are over,” Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino said in an angry statement after a meeting with President Rafael Correa.
“The move announced in the official British statement, if it happens, would be interpreted by Ecuador as an unfriendly, hostile and intolerable act, as well as an attack on our sovereignty, which would force us to respond in the strongest diplomatic way,” Patino told reporters.

Not quite, but it seems it would undermine the whole idea of embassys being soveriegn. Anyway they'll just wait untill they try and move him to the airport because unless they make him an ambassidor he doesn't have diplomatic imunity.

REally? The colonialists think they own everything, eh? For Queen for country? Maybe Argentina will join in, they certainly but the Brits in their place over the Falkland Islands.
