FTA - Neil Clark is a writer specialising in east European and Balkan affairs.
Well, I hope he knows a hell of a lot about Eastern Europe, because he doesn't seem to know jack about the Balkans...
Not that I read newspapers at the moment, but I'm beginning to have a real problem with the Guardian. (Actually, to be fair to it, it's the people that read it that I have a problem with). One friend of mine, who regards herself as 'Very Liberal' and reads the Guardian like the Bible, is currently bitching about Facebook because they showed BNP adverts in the first place. I could try explaining to her how stifling the words of a twisted yet let legal political party only serves to further their cause, but no, liberal girl thinks the BNP should be banned because they're 'evil'.
I think this is why I describe myself on FB as Libertarian - describing myself as Liberal is chucking my hat in with this lot of weirdoes...
