Now that's just cheeky...

Now a senior US official has told the BBC it was a deliberate decision not to consult London on the resettlement, after other countries came under pressure from China not to accept the Uighurs.

What Brown is doing, is facesaving...because he needs to...because this was a slap in the face. Brown is a Prime Minister embattled. He has lost the respect and regard of his own party let alone the opposition. He looks impotent. So...of course he is trying to make it look like he was in on it. And...frankly its easier to show displeasure at Bermuda than the States.

Britain was informed, after the negotiations and decision had been taken. Literally just before the men boarded the plane. It was a fait accomplis.

There is no way of looking at this that isnt insulting.
