Sincerely, apologies for any offence caused. All I was saying was that it was very funny seeing a Sky journalist ask the Kazakh ambassador such outrageous questions - and just as impressive seeing him reply with articulation and good humour. He gave as good as he got. The guy was doing his job - being a good ambassador for his country and making the most of the publicity (distasteful as it may be) - because I came away from the interview thinking I'd quite like to go there.
Maybe I posted a bit too quickly - clearly 10 hours flying time in a BMed seat for over 2 grand would not make for a popular do.
