#1 nice they gave a statement of concern for the remaining ethiopian hostages. Hope they stay on the Eritrean's case til they are released

#2 Blimey. Thought this was going to be orange jumpsuits all round with lashings of Allahu Akbar on the side. Fair point Frank - there are still hostages, one presumes.

#4 I wonder how much ransom was paid.

If any, it was too much, and the wrong kind. Of course, if Britain were to deliver PROPER "ransom", they' have to break out all the Lancasters and Wellingtons in British museums to deliver them. NOT having a world-travelling air force is one of the first signs you're not a global power any more. Of course, I'm sure George would have "loaned" Tony a dozen or so BUFFS, if he'd asked nicely and said "please".
