Fresh from being snubbed by Barack Obama (five times apparently) UK PM Gordon Brown put Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi (he may have promoted himself since) firmly in his place when he followed him onto the United Nations rostrum today.
The mad old Libyan had just torn up the UN charter only for Gordon to announce that he would endorse no such thing and, furthermore, would have no truck with the rantings of a looney old tent-dweller.
So does that mean that the Libyan who was convicted of the Lockerbie bombing (probably wrongly, but never mind) will have to go back to jail in Scotland and that BP has lost interest in its oil and gas deal with the tented one (he even set one up in the middle of Paris on a visit a few years ago)?
That’s statesmanship folks!
