Downing Street is denying that it is “frantic” over Barack Obama’s refusal to engage in bilateral talks with Gordon Brown at the UN summit in New York and is doggedly and unbelievably asserting that there has been no snub to the Prime Minister.
However, if there was any lingering doubt as to the damage that Brown’s inept handling of the al-Megrahi affair has done to our relations with the United States, it is now surely dispelled.
Can anyone believe that George Bush would have refused such a meeting with Tony Blair when both men were in power?
