Even More Great UK Foreign Policy

Bless them little souls at the UK Foreign Office. And, yes, the more that things change the more that things stay the same when it comes to how the UK view their relationships with the nations of the Middle East.

When it comes to even handedness and a balanced viewpoint, the UKFO really never quite hit the mark. As with this episode from Yes Prime Minister, national interests can certainly outweigh reality.

Leaving all that aside, my favourite line, which just wonderfully represents the Jewish sense of humour, when asked if the sending of 800 airborne troops on a goodwill visit maybe was a little too much, the comment from the Israeli Ambassador is that “it just a lot of goodwill”.

Enjoy
