One of our slogans has been "British Bulldog, not Bush's Poodle", which has the advantage of confusing people entirely about the political direction we are coming from. This at least gets them to open the leaflet and read more. It was devised by Edward, who used to work for Saatchi and Saatchi. He claims it appeals to both left and right. It could, of course, alienate both instead. I suppose we'll soon know.

Additional quotes by Craig Murray

I came back from Reykjavik on Monday morning [16 October] and I was detained at Glasgow Airport by the police after I came through passport control.
They took me into a wee room and they said that I was detained under the Terrorism Act, which was an extraordinary thing.

My experience of British airports being discouraging recently, I went by public transport from Edinburgh to Belfast.
Arriving very late in Belfast due to the storm, I missed the last train to Dublin. Not wanting to stay in Belfast, I flagged down a taxi in the street and asked the driver to take me to Dublin. He did not wish to, so late at night.
Then we realised we had worked in the same bar in Aviemore 45 years ago. I have always believed life is governed by forces we do not know.
