First up we have a report that Milicunt was against the mission to get Gillian out of the Sudan, now Milicunt fires back. Now the Telegraph has a different version of events and based on David Milicunt's past record of fucking up I tend to believe them.
Foreign Secretary David Miliband has dismissed claims that he tried to block a mission to rescue British teacher Gillian Gibbons from prison in Sudan.
**Well maybe so but the phrase was that "the Foreign Office told them they were doing so at their own risk, the British Government could not be expected to bail them out if it went wrong – and they would get only limited support from the British embassy."
Mr Miliband insisted it was "absolute nonsense" to suggest he opposed the successful intervention by Labour peer Lord Ahmed and Tory frontbencher Baroness Warsi.
There has been speculation that the Foreign Office was wary of risking the trip by the Muslim peers, and instead favoured letting Mrs Gibbons serve out her 15-day sentence for allowing her class to name a teddy bear Mohammed.
Mr Miliband is also said to have objected to the involvement of Lady Warsi on the grounds that as a Conservative she had no right to take part.
However, he told Sky News' Sunday Live the truth was "quite the opposite".
"It's absolute nonsense and the people that I talk to across the political spectrum know it is nonsense that I tried to stop her from going," he said.
David Milicunt shown here shitting a brick when asked to defend UK citizens...
"I utterly reject the idea that at any stage we tried to stop them."
**So what about this as reported in the Telegraph? Diplomatic sources said that earlier, the Foreign Office had urged them not to go and that a senior aide to Mr Miliband dismissed the need to free Mrs Gibbons, saying it would be easier to let her serve the jail sentence in full. Any answers on that one Milicunt?
Mr Miliband insisted he was not worried who got the credit for resolving the situation because the "important thing" was that Mrs Gibbons had been returned safely.
**Just as well he is not worried about the credit as he and the FO did sod all. They waited four days before calling in the head barbarian the Sudenese ambassador when she was jailed, left it to moslem peers to fly out and do the work of the FO for them.
