Russia And The British Council

Cultural exchange between Russia and Britain goes back a very long way indeed, and the Russians would ordinarily welcome the British Council with open arms.

That they are no longer doing so is because our Political Class has sided with the American neoconservatives, who despise the Biblical-Classical synthesis of which Russia is the greatest bulwark against both Islamic and Far Eastern threats, and whose own allies are indeed the separatist forces of "militant Islam" (the only kind that there can be) in Kosovo and Chechnya.

That Class must be cleared out so that we can can re-establish our ties with Russia on the basis of that synthesis and of Russia's key role in defending it.

So let's get on with doing so.
