Most of the (mis) information appears to have come from Ice News a website based in Iceland which calls itself an "international Nordic news" service.
It is in a blog format.

There is an interesting blog about Norway's rare albino moose under threat etc but all the blogs on the situation between Iceland and the UK seem to emanate from Lenka Vaiglova the 'Online Content Manager, Consulting Department of Nordic eMarketing a PR firm based in Reykjavik .


He writes - Sverrir Haukur Gunnlaugsson, the Ambassador of Iceland in UK has stated "I have been an ambassador and working for the foreign ministry for 38 years and I have never experienced anything like what we went through over the last week,"

"Our phone system nearly had a meltdown and we had to deal with very angry Brits," he added.

Armed police now protects the Icelandic Embassy due to threats that have been made."

In another blog he quotes an interview with an advisor to Margaret Thatcher which said
'Gordon Brown is trying to make this situation "his little Falkland Islands"

Now I accept that the people of Iceland are angry and face an uncertain future but it isn't the UK Government that has created this situation however the PR blogger Lenka Vaiglova wants to spin this for domestic and world consumption

It has NOT been reported either why the British feel so angry that their leading cancer care hospital, childrens' hospices essential services and the pensions of many people are under threat.

Compassion is mutual.

Icelandic folks have not been accused of being Terrorists (even if this is how the PR firm seek to gain the world's sympahy)
The only people against whom this act was implimented and anger directed are the 'criminals' that have abused the savings of inhabitants of both countries.

I also request this divisive thread be closed.
