Sorry, this is all old news to us in London who have been listening to the echo chamber freak itself out for 12 hours over a bit fat nothing. Here is a quick pointer to a similar query that went out to /r/London when the first tweets were sent: https://www.reddit.com/r/london/comments/57w670/amy_truth_th... and people on the scene confirmed that contra the Roger Stone claims there was no 'assault' on the embassy. For chuckles I actually went by this afternoon and there was absolutely nothing to see. Verizon (who provides a lot of business connectivity in London) has been having problems in some places for most of the day, and it is a somewhat wet Monday so it is possible some lines shorted, but so far there is no confirmation that Assange has lost internet access and no indication from the outside that this is anything other than another day here in rainy London.
