Twitter gets fighty over the Assange debacle.

The Political Week on Twitter: Assange special

The Political Week on Twitter: Assange special

The Assange row is the stuff that Twitter storms are made of and it hasn't let up all week.

@DuncanStott – Shooting George Galloway in the face – not murder, just 'bad gun etiquette'.

@ShippersUnbound – Loving George Galloway's attempt to out-vile Assange… 'No I'm the biggest tool on the left. Get me a TV camera. Me, me, me, me, me, me…'

@PlatoSays – Julian Assange threatens to make the EU look good

‏@jayrayner1 – George Galloway on why the charges against Assange aint rape: 'Not everybody needs to be asked prior to each insertion.' Well I bloody do.

@LFFKatie – In politics, all my least favourite people are called George

@wallaceme – I'll give a tenner to anyone who pushes the fire alarm in the Ecuadorian embassy.

@stevenradams – "@georgegalloway: Did you know she had several dates withAssange AFTER the alleged "rape" You useful idiots!" Dear Lord. Somebody stop him.

@jamesrbuk – BTW, around 100 people a month are extradited from the UK on European Arrest Warrants. So around 2,000 have gone during theAssange case.

@lexingtondymock – I don't think I can deal with any more Assange or rape stuff this week, tweeters. Maybe I'll start talking about bunny rabbits or something.

@helenlewis – Google the name of one of the Assange accusers & you see a pic calling her "Slut of The Year". And people ask why anonymity is important.

@JeromeTaylor – Nice little factoid. Ecuador embassy officials had to go to ambassador's house to pick up an air mattress the day JulianAssange turned up

@Heresy_Corner – I can imagine Julian Assange becoming a tourist attraction, like Garbo in her declining years.
