Her Majesty's Man in Tashkent
Very interesting story of how a British Diplomat was kicked off his service for deviating from real politic.... I guess he would be kicked off in any country though.... because there is no other politic other than REAL.

The experience must have been quite horrendous for this bloke, so much so to jump out of his pants and out of his job!

Yeah I read all that.
The bloke is now with a Uzbek girlfriend.
Horny little fellow and damn dangerous lifestyle for a career diplomat.
Reminds me of the Profumo - Christine Keelor case of Britain.

The question I have is how effective information provided by Uzbekistan is effective, or whether long term cooperation with the government would in effect discourage terrorism.

I wish I had the courage of the "disgraced" diplomat. He is a man of principles, and a credit to humanity. I salute him.
