Staff at the Ecuador Embassy in London grew tired of the whiffing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who reportedly does not attend to his own personal hygiene.
Its that lack of cleanliness, among other things, that fueled Ecuadors recent attempts to end his five-year stand-off at the Knightsbridge embassy, the International Business Times reported.
It seems he doesnt wash properly, a well-placed source told the news outlet, noting the issue has prompted repeated complaints from staff at the UK embassy.
Assange reportedly complained of noise from a loading bay near his hideout, which resulted in a female restroom being converted into a bedroom for him. The move left Assange sharing a single bathroom with embassy staff.
And its not the first time people around him have complained of Assanges questionable hygiene practices.
Julian ate everything with his hands and he always wiped his fingers on his pants. I have never seen pants as greasy as his in my whole life, one of his closest aides, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, told the Times.

(17,984 posts)Plus they go out of their way to accommodate him after he complained about noise.
At what point do they take the hint that he is trash and throw his worthless ass out in the cold? You know they are thinking, "It would violate our oath to give asylum, but he would become someone else's problem."

... Assange has been granted Ecuadorian citizenship in part of an effort to help him leave the countrys embassy in London. He has been in a state of asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy for over 5 years.
The decision was made mere hours after a request for Assange to be given diplomatic status was refused by the British government. Such a status would have meant Assange could leave the embassy while being immune from arrest by British police ...
