Question: when the Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stood on his hind legs to spout his hatred of Israel, did the Brits, like the Candians walk out?

Common sense is something they have never heard of over here in the corridors of power. As for walking out they were scared that a minority over here would have marched in protest. That would mean making a hard choice which is impossible for them to do. Their back bones are as ridged as a peice of fine sewing thread.
