The UK is to expel all employees of the Libyan Embassy, Sky sources have said, in a move likely to increase Muammar Gaddafi's isolation.

There are eight staff members who work at the embassy in Knightsbridge, west London, Sky understands.

Foreign editor Tim Marshall said the Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC) would replace the Gaddafi workers.

"This is the official British confirmation and when all the existing Gaddafi staff are out, the NTC representatives in London will come in, and they will be officially recognised as representing the state of Libya," he said.

The Telegraph has a more extensive article up now:

Britain is to expel the remaining staff at the Libyan embassy in Britain.

The Foreign Secretary William Hague will announce the measure at a press conference in London on Wednesday morning.

Mr Hague is also expected to announce that Britain has taken the decision to formally recognise Libya's rebels as the country's legitimate government.

While other stories indicate the NATO effort in Libya has been an abysmal failure, including one in FR Breaking News headlined “France, Britain seek exit from Libya”.

There is going to be three months of pushing and shoving at the gate. Two months of wrestling at the door. Then they will be back at the gate.

Sounds like the beginning of the end for NATO.

Whole thing is about money i.e. Soros wanting his hands on that $5T which Libya represents, i.e. it's about obama and Soros using NATO to perpetrate a robbery.

Meanwhile, some video....

Lockerbie bomber appears on Libyan TV

'Dying' Lockerbie Bomber Spotted at Libya Rally Abdelbaset al-Megrahi appears two years after he's freed to die from cancer

The real question is why in the hell does any country spend all that money to put an embassy anywhere, this crap dates back to the days of wood sail ships and six month communication cycles. A single room with some date terminals is all that is needed today. Screw the diplomatic parties, the whole world is going broke.

Where is the video of Britain cutting him lose for oil money.

Nobody gives a tinker’s dam about the Lockerbie bomber deal apparently. The ‘Rats for obvious reasons. I’d like to hear the Pubbies’ excuse.

[Jack Hammer]

The supreme irony about all this is that, if Gaddafi goes, everyone will be squawking about the guy who replaces him, who will, without a doubt, be infinitely worse.

Moreover, once NATO endorses war for regime change, as it has now done, every world leader is fair game - including the leaders of those same NATO countries.

From every angle, this whole Libya thing stinks.

The lockerbie bombing was a long time ago, daffy and jorge made a deal on that and daffy paid billions, everyone wants to bitch but no one wants to give his money back. Big oil paid to get the bomber out of jail and Britain does not want to talk about that.

Some people just cannot move on.

[org.whodat]

Yes, I am all in for taking out the socialist in Britain, when do we start bombing.

[mewzilla]

...and Britain does not want to talk about that.

Not just the UK...

[Del Rapier]

Justice may be a while coming for the Lockerbie bombing but it comes not the less, this is the West and not a banana republic-we don’t accept money for the lives of innocents.

In other words, "We don't care what reality is in Libya. We'll create our own reality!"

This is some "no fly zone."
