Sergei Lavrov, he speaks for us all.

Now before today I have to admit not even having heard of Sergei Lavrov the Russian foreign minister, but I sure have now and should I ever meet this chap the drinks will be on me.

According to The Daily Telegraph he reacted with fury when Mr Miliband and he spoke on the telephone. Mr Lavrov objected to being lectured by the British.

Such was the repeated use of the "F-word" according to one insider who has seen the transcript, it was difficult to draft a readable note of the conversation.

Brilliant, oh the number of times I have imagined ripping a strip off of David Milicunt

One unconfirmed report suggested that Mr Lavrov said: "Who are you to f------ lecture me?"

He also asked Mr Miliband in equally blunt terms whether he knew anything of Russia's history.

I think that the answer to that is rather obvious, Milicunt has not got a fucking clue.

One Whitehall insider said: "It was effing this and effing that. It was not what you would call diplomatic language. It was rather shocking."

The Foreign Secretary had been putting forward Britain and Europe's objections to the actions of Russia, which began when their tanks rolled into the breakaway region of South Ossetia last month. Mr Miliband has said that Europe should reassess its ties with Russia after its "aggressive" behaviour.

However Miliband was to find things not to his liking...

It is also understood that Mr Miliband was asked about Britain and America's invasion of Iraq, when Russian actions in Georgia were questioned, during the tense conversation that took place recently.

Sources at the Foreign Office confirmed there was swearing "but only from one side".

No doubt Miliband was to busy crying to retaliate.

A spokesman for the Foreign Secretary said: "We do not discuss diplomatic conversations between foreign ministers."

Mr Lavrov, who was promoted under Vladimir Putin, has developed a reputation as the fearsome face of Russia's new aggressive foreign policy. When he held the position as Russia's man at the United Nations in New York he developed a reputation as fierce critic of other nations.

Now the rights and wrongs of the whole Georgia episode aside, his ripping Milicunt a new one is rather good in my book. I hearby raise my glass to Sergei Lavrov. It would be rather good if someone leaked this call to the internet, I just hope the Sergei called Milicunt a total cunt to boot.

Altogether now:

"For he's a jolly good fellow...."
