Russia calls out Britain on its hypocrisy. Assange has really poked the hornets nest.

AFP - Russia on Friday warned Britain against violating fundamental diplomatic principles after London suggested it could arrest WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange inside Ecuador's embassy.
"What is happening gives grounds to contemplate the observance of the spirit and the letter of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, and in particular the Article 22 spelling out the inviolability of diplomatic premises," the Russian foreign ministry said.
At the same time, Moscow warned Britain against interpreting the law selectively, stressing that London has given refuge to "dozens of people suspected of committing grave crimes" who are wanted in other countries.
"What to do with a right to refuge for Julian Assange when London turns the observance of this right for this category of people into an absolute principle?" the Russian foreign ministry asked, referring to a number of high-profile figures granted asylum in Britain.
Russia has for years sought the extradition of top Kremlin critic Boris Berezovsky as well as several other figures.
I must I admit that I kind of want the Brits to go for it now. Reading a headline along the lines of "Unknown masked gunmen snatch the prominent Kremlin critic Berezovsky in downtown London" would be most satisfying. Zakaev found with a bullethole in his head wouldn't be too shabby either.
Wow, the level of stupid just got real.

Now I really hope the Brits nab Ass-ange.
The Russians need their mouthpiece to continue acting as a martyr.
No more like Berezovsky falls out of window onto 30 7.62X39mm bullets in the back of his head and rolled onto some wandering Polonium...Isnt that the typical way Regime Opponents die? I mean yeah he isnt a female journalist but its a start, eh?
That is the most retarded thing I've ever heard....7.62x39? Really? Why don't you just plant a "From Russia with Love" card on the body.
Joking aside if you're talking about that well known Female Journalist she claimed that the FSB were responsible for the 1999 Terrorist attack and called the actions of the Fed in Chechnya as state terrorism.
Ontopic:
They are just protecting a tool, but the question is why? He served his purpose and was cast aside. I think Russia is capitalizing on this Diplomatic blunder, just to irritate GB.
U-turning our choppa-freighter and beating us in the Olympics, it definitely calls for retaliation on those pesky Pommies.
Altho image of Berezovsky behind bars makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
All this Ass-ange thing is a fertile field for stupidity, hipocrisy and double-standard, for everybody.
I would have thought Sashkos Idea of sending a Hit team to London in Masks was the most retarded, but YMMV.........
LOL. And Putin makes sure rock band members sit in prison for 2 years. Just amazing!
Cut them some slack, they need him to continue his show on Russia Today.
And at the same time two russian copers intruded into a territory of a Turkish embassy,...to get a young girl in a Pussy Riot protestevent....Russia issues warning to Britain over Assange
