Ahh so now I'm "a supposed Irishman". The other day you were saying I'm a European official. You are truly proving to be the equivalent of the 9/11 conspiracist troofers on here.
You are the one listing Eire as your location. Of course Ireland is part of the EU and Europe as far as is known. But you are certainly fit to work in Brussels, if you do or not.
And as you noted you have said the same meaningless things twenty times, perhaps if you write them in large colored text, and in funny fonts, they might acquire some meaning.
But it was nice to see you looked up what a High Commission and a High Commissioner actually was (it is still the Governor or Governor-Genreal in some cases, and more so in times past) , so as to further your limited education as the result of this. But real countries get embassies, while British Empire remnants still ruled from England get High Commissions, and pass these High Commissions among themselves along with High Commissioners.

While you ponder that, the news media has got around to producing articles on the meeting of the British ambassador with the Libyan military leader that was tortured and the UK's failure to apologize -
quote:
Abdul Hakim Belhadj, the military commander of the Libyan capital, confronted Dominic Asquith, the UK special representative, after it emerged that MI6 had helped in his "rendition" to torture and ill-treatment at the hands of the CIA and the Gaddafi regime. Mr Belhadj also warned Mr Asquith against any British "cover-up" of the matter. His spokesman said Mr Asquith's refusal to apologise was "unfortunate."
The meeting came as The Daily Telegraph learned that a number of British human rights lawyers have offered their services to Mr Belhadj and another man, Sami Saadi, also known as Abu Munthir, who was also "rendered" to a Gaddafi jail with MI6 help. Mr Saadi said on Wednesday that he had been "tricked" by the British, who lured him into a trap that led to his imprisonment for six years and starvation in a Libyan jail.
Both men say they intend to sue the British Government.
Describing the meeting, Mr Belhadj's spokesman said: "Mr Belhadj told the Special Representative that he was very sorry and surprised at Britain's behaviour and he asked for an apology.
"Unfortunately, the Special Representative did not offer Mr Belhadj any apology or regret. He said he was not in a position to do so because David Cameron had set up an inquiry. Mr Belhaj replied that the British Government already knows very well that it was involved in his rendition. He said he hoped the inquiry would not be a whitewash or a cover-up." -
British ambassador refuses to apologise to tortured Libyan rebel
I see the UK will be off to a fine start with the new Libyan regime after hazing a few of their leaders with water boards, and then refusing to apologize for it.
And the full Torygraph piece on the interview of Khaled Kaim. is now being reported --
Tony Blair's policy of close engagement with Libya ended up fuelling the power obsession of Col Gaddafi's son and heir apparent Saif al-Islam, one of the regime's chief spokesmen told The Daily Telegraph.
