It is amazing to see how useless European Union is. Berezovsky create a lot of problems from England to Russia. That man does not care about being british or chinese; his only interest is the power given to him by his fortune which is money stoled from russians. Apparently Great-Britain has fomented troubles in Iran (certainly under orders from Washington). France stir troubles all over Africa and other european-union's members play their own selfish games. As we see, there is no european juridiction able to put some order in the way individual nation behave. It is the proof that this amalgame of royale republics, mafiosis republics and decadent monarchies mean absolutly nothing and cannot be taken seriously anywhere. It is just a free for all market. It has no future... I am sorry for the next generations to have to say that: the whole european leadership is worth nothing; it is a photocopy of our french consented anarchy. Sincerely.

I absolutely agree - I live un UK and can confirm that most people simply don't want Beresovsky amongst us - he is like a diseased virus - spreading corruption wherever he lands. He knows the 'right' Labour politicians - etc. - and can also reroute money for their campaign needs .. as usual - and of course. It is blatant - and we can all witness the real critical MESS which UK is in today - as in : chronic. The labour leaders still hope to deflect truth and reality by 'cooking-up' Russian slurs to try and get the world to mistrust anything Russian - except the corrupt oligarchs ... of course... they are that stupid still - they refuse to face truth - Mandelson and cronies (Blair-Brown) brought British politics to its' knees and an absolute all time low in contempt and dubious dealings. They made a mockery out of - honour. Eve Guevara-Sansom
