Welcome to Lucy land, where the moon is made of cheeseThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

All they cared about was putting in a regime that would allow them to plunder. I suspect if it was worse than the current one that would not bother them one little bit.
Every regime plunders to some extent. I don't think it would have been possible for the replacement regime to have been worse than the existing one.
But OK, let's raise it with the UN, no worries, they'll sort it.Bored.Comment

2/ they were doing this for money, people like this will quite happily swap sides for money
3/ They knew the risks

EG is a filthy regime who need to be taken out. If the same thing was happening in Zimbabwe no-one would bat an eyelid. EG just isn't in the media as much. The whole BBC 'Africa is a great place' bs.
Yes they were mercenaries, they had the backing of several governments and the UK knew about what was going on too.
Please leave the politics to people who understand it and go back to your abacus or whatever it is you play with.Comment
