23-05-2006 18:35

Every week, corporate rags like Sunday Times spew venom at Russia for autocratic government and corruption. Yet little is said about Britain's oligarchs which include a whole raft of people including Sir Adrian Montague, Lord Sainsbury etc. Let's start with the former as he is on the website.

Israel's UN ambassador slams Qatar, praises Bolton
