[Dishevelled Den]

As I said earlier,how he walks upright without a spine defies science.He is completely shameless and without any principals or concept of right and wrong,he simply gets through each day by lying about the previous day...........Im going to have to have a lie down in a minute.

Don't get me started A - for frigg sake.

Aah bj, you're entering a very murky world here where, should you attempt to reason such things, the nett result will only be bewilderment

it just struck me as odd when i head it on the radio earlier - why are some countries accountable and not others?

i know libya are keen to bend over backwards (and hence cut oil deals with the west) but asking them to pay up over every incident they've been involved in (or not involved in depending who you believe) seems bizarre.

It's not odd at all when you think about it. If a relative is wiped out by a terrorist, there's usually no one to claim from. However, the Libyan link has been proved by payouts to relatives in the US. Although, over this side on the pond, there have been previous attempts to get the government to back claims, they were rebutted. What's made it happen this time is that the relatives see that Brown has been weakened (how much weaker can he get?) by this whole business with Libya and judged that he will be more compliant now...to save his domestic political skin.

They judged well, it would seem. 

...perhaps on the content of his character Nick but I hope that they're not holding their respective breath for the Foreign Office to be of any tangible assistance.

"Foreign office tangible assistance"? Must add that to my list of oxymorons. 

It will sit nicely alongside "fun run".

I think its a department rather than a statement of fact though.
