It was extremely well reported and the protests even led to your Government providing back-up to many of them (while selling weapons and training successors to keep the Qaddafi regime in place, of course)

Hernando de Soto
Time magazine chose De Soto as one of the five leading Latin American innovators of the century in its special May 1999 issue"
There was a wonderful Panorama programme showing the duplicity of the "decent liberal behavior of Britain which showed how British troops fighting to overthrow Muammar Qaddafi's regime were being bombarded by shells sold to Qaddafi by British Arms dealers - "friendly fire" I suppose you might describe it !!
