        From the text of the article
        In response, Cameron said: "I refuse to implement foreign policy, based on a press release, foreign policy should be based on the interests of the British."

        Here Cameron clearly let slip, exposing the UK, that the British government is not just at the same time as Saudi Arabia, which "roofs" Daesh, and England is precisely a colonizer in the BV and, therefore, an enemy of Syria and Russia.

    When you have already learned in your countries and will not write such strange articles in your mass media that "Human Rights" and "Svoboda" are an instrument that dissenting countries put pressure on.

    Anglo-Saxons know how to choose friends. Such that even their own parties do not want to have business with them, they scream like victims. But you cannot confuse a true democrat and a fighter for liberal values ​​with any messes, not that case. They themselves squeal so often and for any reason that they already have immunity to any squealing.

    The British acted wisely and sold the hardware with the software and acquired the source of information. It’s stupid to think that they don’t stick bookmarks in there, nor the malvar stuff it in order for information to arrive on the MI-5 and MI-6 servers without the knowledge of the hosts.

    What can I say, just a classic example of hypocrisy and double standards

    North Korea or Belarus (or Venezuela or Iran, etc.), you see, are "not democratic enough" (although they do not attack or touch anyone), therefore, they need to spread rot with sanctions and generally attack - yes, Russia and China are a hindrance

    But the Saudi obscurantists - our guys - will help them with what we can
