Comments on: Brits rediscover their spine https://www.yourish.com/2007/06/21/3331 Cutting straight to the point Fri, 22 Jun 2007 01:21:47 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Michael Lonie https://www.yourish.com/2007/06/21/3331/comment-page-1#comment-27040 Fri, 22 Jun 2007 01:21:47 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/2007/06/21/3331#comment-27040 They knighted Sir Iqbal Sacranie long ago, so you might call it a preemptive knighting of a figure acceptable to the fanatical lunatics around the world. I like the suggestion that if Pakistan doesn’t like this action it can return several hundred millions of aid the UK gave the Paks in the last year. Anyone want to bet they will, like Giuliani telling that Fraudi Prince where to get off? Anybody? Bueller?

Too bad they did not summon up their spines when the Iranians took their sailors and Marines prisoner, but waited for a trivial, symbolic incident instead.

Too bad old hook-hand got deported.
