Наткнулся в дневниках на телегу какого-то Andrew Porter, что поведал нам удивительный сказ (источники, разумеется не пожелали раскрыться).
Сказ сладостный.
David Miliband four-letter abuse from Russian foreign minister Tuesday, September 9, 2008, 06:56 PM GMT
Цитата:
Mr Miliband spoke to the Russian foreign minister - a veteran not known for diplomatic niceties - to express British unease at events in Georgia. It seems Mr Lavrov didn't like being lectured by young Miliband.
Such was the repeated use of the "F word" according to one insider who has seen the transcript, it was difficult to draft a readable note of the conversation.
One unconfirmed report suggested that Mr Lavrov said: "Who are you to f------ lecture me?"
He also asked Mr Miliband in equally blunt terms whether he knew anything of Russia's history?
One Whitehall insider told me: "It was effing this and effing that. It was not what you would call diplomatic language. It was rather shocking."
