It isnt a valid historical parallel and is thoroughly irresponsible for a chap who is supposed to oversee our diplomacy. Thoroughly undiplomatic and this is going to be incredibly offensive to Russian people. More **** stirring from a government massively out of its depth.
You and me can say it,a foreign secretary cannot. This is what you get when you give an amiable buffoon a potentially significant job.
:hehe: Have you ever met a Russian, p? It's hard to offend a Russian, given that they are the thickest-skinned of all the barbarians, and they're generally far too pissed to hear what you've said anyway.

Damning with faint praise? I reckon he deserves better than that; he may even be a political genius, a natural.

I'm a lefty. You think I never talk to Russians? Come on, man...where is your right wing paranoia when I need it? :)
I know plenty of russians, have been there several times, including a suspiciously long stay in the early 90s......

If you went there before the liberation, saw conditions under socialism, and still espouse such a system, I am afraid I am going to have to hunt you down and kill you.
Sorry about that.

Of course not. I have never broken a law in my life, outside of our archaic laws regarding drug possession.
I was visiting a friend who was living in Moscow for three years. I just didnt bother going home.

Fvcking hell! This is what's wrong with the world today: you can't even say you're going to kill someone without them claiming it's a death threat. :rolleyes:
