It's a quiz. Your answer, please.

[Lord Stockton]

re#2 Sorry I didn't read your mind correctly. The supplying of 4 answers meant we were meant to know you required a response to the 5th question.


Anyway, I suspect Howard (or more accurately, his Government) is the one who thought our embassy staff were worthy of protection. The people who look after both our interests as a nation as well as us as an individuals while we are overseas.

Huh? It's multiple choice, the answer is either a, b, c or d.

[Lord Stockton]

OK if you must, how about "c"?


But only if that makes you happy.
