Honest Brokers

A group of exiled Eritreans has written to the Minister for Wogs, Frogs and Huns, Willem den Haag. Eritreans for Action are asking the scourge of Ecuadorean diplomatic rights what he is doing to ensure that funds from British companies are not being used by the Eritrean government in support of repression and terrorism, rather like the weapons shilled by Daveybloke and his chums to Bahrain and other defenders of democracy. Den Haag's little men have been facilitating talks between various mining and investment companies and the Eritrean government, which has ideas about forced labour that even Iain Duncan Smith might prefer to keep under wraps until after the next election. There is no suggestion that any of the companies has yet been involved in exploiting forced labour; but Daveybloke could hardly qualify as Thatcher's spiritual grandson if he didn't care to kick a few miners here and there.
