Baroness Ashton of £320K trousered (plus expenses) our High Representative for Foreign Affairs said she is 'considering sanctions against Libya'. Gaddafi has announced he may have to reasses his positon in light of this news and is considering laying down his weapons and handing himself over to the ECHR in the William Hague. <br />Nick has broken his English half term hols and jetted back to England to attend the meeting of English COBRA. He's not sure what it is but it sounds jolly fun.<br />Dave has denied paying bribes to Gaddafi to get UK citizens out of Libya. He said they weren't bribes but just a token of our gratitude for not shooting our citizens.<br />Mr Hague can't be contacted and is thought to be in Venezuela chasing up a hunch.Montynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-34459834351205740352011-02-25T10:23:03.923+00:002011-02-25T10:23:03.923+00:00LOL CH.
