Nice assessment & reportage of the Euston metting. By the way that Brendan O’Neill comment in the Comment is Free piece you link to about Yugoslavia is utterly fatuous. No one on the 'liberal left' demonized Milosevic. They didn't have to. Unfortunately people were too stupid or confused to properly accuse Tudjman, or for that matter Major and Kohl (the real culprits for getting the serial wars going by forcing the recognition of Croatia on a desperately unready Balkans). But no-one demonized that genocidal f@cker Milosevic. Unless you think finding what happened Srebrenica utterly repugnant is unnatural. And no one took sides along such simplistic lines as claimed, the craots did some evil shit too, although clearly the largely unarmed Muslims in Bosnia were getting the worst beating, and had suffered an undeniable apartheid for ten years or more in Kosovo. The Spiked bunch are a gang of Spartist holocaust deniers; it's just the holocausts they deny were prosecuted by their poster boys Stalin and Mao etc, and despotic wannabes like Hussein and Milosevic. Never got passed the outraged and disaffected 14 year old stage, the poor stroppy dears. those guys try Marylyn Manson instead of politics; it’s a lot more straightforward.
