Subject: RE: Mr,Brown declare war on Iceland
Hmm. You think it doesn't matter what the title of the act is, Rumncoke?

Would you extend this to other police behaviour?

As I understand it, the Icelandic banks froze their accounts, which hit British institutions that had money in them.

The British government then froze the assets of *other* Icelandic businesses - all businesses; the people selling nubbly sweaters or travel to Iceland or software or fish or.... whatever else Iceland sells.
