i know about the British press. i didn't say it was "typical" and didn't mean to generalize or to start a hooliganish fuss about my country and yours like the Mail does. we're all good internationalists here, right?

Please don't assume that the Daily Mail is typical of "the British Press". The British media as a whole including radio have presented a much more balanced picture including a phone debate between Rolnik and her main critic, and commentators from both sides. The Mail's habitual ad hominems only serve to divert attentions from the main practical and policy issues that reports of this nature should open up for discussion.
