Guardian UK: Civil servant faces sack over anti-Israel rant - 'Rowan Laxton, who heads the South Asia desk, launched an expletive-ridden tirade against Israel and Jews as he worked out at a London gym. A court was told the 48-year-old shouted: "Fucking Israelis, fucking Jews" as he watched a television news report about the death of a Palestinian farmer. His fellow gym members Gideon Falter and William Lemaine overheard him and complained to gym staff. Falter claimed he also heard Laxton say: "If I had my way, the fucking international community should be sent in and if the Israelis got in the way, they'd be blown off the fucking earth."...' [I'm not for such speech being illegal (here in the US), but it's altogether reasonable for a man in his position to face "the sack."]
Fucking hapless limey coward. Waiting for the fucking hapless "international community" to do his dirty work. Typical of a fucking limey coward...
