Slobbo and the Beeb

Jed:

During the Balkan wars, the BBC was unbelievably hostile to Serb spokesman and partisans. I never could exactly figure out why. Because they were the Orthodox side? Muslim PC tenderness? Milosovic’s death lets them revive that hoity-toity down-the-nose moralising the Beeb does so well.

I would rather have seen Milosovic live and finish his trial so the world could say, with a yawn, “All that and now only this?” Because of course the Hague wouldn’t hang him. As things stand, the endless bureaucracy of the World Court will go on — and how much can it do without a police force? We might have seen some restraint in its use, just out of sheer exhaustion. Now, the WC types are just champing to get to work again, as indeed the chief prosecutor said on the BBC last night.
