The BBC are very, very selective in reporting critical comments about Party leaders. Today they have relentlessly been ‘reporting’ the words of Sir Richard Shirreff about Cameron…. Downing Street has rejected claims by a former senior army officer that the UK has become “irrelevant” in attempts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. Sir Richard Shirreff, until last year a top Nato commander in Europe, suggested the UK was … Continue reading

He has now produced a continuation of that theme first aired in … Continue reading
