[BITList] ballsy brits?

Play acting Colin, don't think they will really upset their financial
backers. As far as Oz goes our pollies are firmly in the grip of "the lobby"

British government ministers - Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Foreign
Secretary David Miliband and Home Secretary Alan Johnson - landed a heavy
blow on Israel yesterday by expelling a diplomat from the Israeli embassy in
London (who according to news reports was the head of the Mossad mission
there). The minister condemned Israel and warned Britons of what may happen
to their passports when they receive visas or encounter immigration
officers. The move was coordinated with other countries - Germany, France,
Ireland and possibly Australia - and may signal the start of an avalanche. 

This is a blow to Israeli arrogance on all levels. First, the promise made
by Shimon Peres to Geoffrey Howe in 1987 that British passports would no
longer be used for Israeli intelligence operations was apparently no longer
in effect. William Hague, the foreign secretary in the conservatives' shadow
government who may replace Miliband in two months if David Cameron wins the
elections, is the one who reminded parliament about Peres' promise to Howe. 

Second, it shows the negligence of whoever planned the assassination of
Hamas' Mahmoud al-Mabhouh by ignoring the fact that the Dubai authorities
are sensitive about any damage to their hospitality. Also, the investigative
authorities there are capable.
