Britain’s lost influence at the UN

Britain’s lost influence at the UN
Although Britain is still a member of the UN Security council, not many delegates want to hang around to listen to David Cameron. (look 2 minutes into the video).

Unsurprisingly the BBC tones this down but ironically the three articles by Jeremy Bowen of the BBC has made much about Amadinajad’s speech and his small audience which in fact was larger than David Cameron’s.

"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George Orwell

To be fair, it was happy hour at the UN bar (where everyone knows your name but can't pronounce it) when Cameron was delivering his speech.

Or perhaps everyone thought it was the leader of Cameroon's speech!

No need to sit around watching all the boring bits. They're just Sky+'ing it so they can flick through to the important bits later.

The Un is just a club for corrupt and bankrupt nations from Africa, Asia etc - load of

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero
