On British cooperation with terrorists
According to this report from the BBC, Iran believes that Britain played a part in the recent terrorist attacks which killed 8 people:

"Britain must respond to the doubts of Iranians concerning the events," said Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki.

Mr Mottaki said the masterminds of the bombing "or people of their mind" had been photographed with UK officials.

A UK Foreign Office spokesman in London has denied the accusation, saying Britain condemned terrorism.


Of course, we mustn't forget the media blackout here in Britain of reports such as this one from the Washington Post last September, on British operatives running around Basra posing as Arabs planting bombs:

Iraqi police had arrested the Britons on Monday for allegedly shooting at police and planting explosive devices. British troops then broke the men out of jail by ramming an armored vehicle through a wall. In response, Basra residents and police revolted, attacking British forces in the area.


Of course, here in Britain, it was reported that the jail break operation was a daring and brave mission, and there was wall to wall coverage of angry Iraqis denouncing Brits, and extended interviews with British troops engaged in the jail breaking excercise. However, nowhere was it reported in this country that British operatives were engaged in planting bombs in Basra whilst posing as arabs.

1. Hey now, I object to that
"The British did this, the British did that" Anyone who operates on behalf of the Blair government has forfeited their right to be considered British. The lot of them ought to submit their passports for destruction and get out of this country :grr:

2. You're Right on Blair's lackeys
Thanks for the reply Greeby, of course I wouldn't exactly consider those working on behalf of Blair & Co to be working in British interests either. I'm hoping that both Bush and Blair will be hauled in front of a court for war crimes, unfortunately I doubt that will happen anytime soon.
