Boris Berezovsky and the Spooks

So Boris the Oligarch (pictured) is saying Russian spooks are out to kill him.

Boris Berezovsky, whose many compatriot criminals fled to Israel, is ensconced in London.

With his links to terrorists in Chechnya and elsewhere and his embezzlement of billions, the Russians have long asked for his extradition.

No shrieks from the Neo Cons for this rich backer of terrorism to have his bank accounts frozen or to face extraordinary rendition.

Speak up Melanie Phillips we cannot hear you! What's that Richard Littlejohn? No apoplectic rage for Daily Mail readers? Pardon Lee Barnes - we didn't hear your latest rant against this terrorist backer?

And so Her Maj's government said "Tut tut Mr. Russki. No you cannot have this huge criminal!"

How delightful it was to hear the Russian State's response to the MI5 spooks request for the extradition of Andrei Lugovoi for the alleged murder of ex-KGB Spook Alexander Litvinenko, a
hired-goon of Israeli Boris.

Four Russian diplomatic staff (usually a euphemism for Embassy-based Spooks) were expelled from London you see. Russia said that if they expelled British Spooks (sorry, diplomatic staff) from Moscow, at the same ratio, for each of the refused requests for terrorists, murderers and embezzlers given refuge by Britain, they would have to expel over 60 embassy staff!

The calm and measured response from Russia was a joy to behold.

It will be interesting to see how this pans out.
