[quote]David Cameron has told Libyans that "the British people want to stand with you" as he visited country on the second stage of his African trip.
The prime minister was greeted by the public in Martyrs' Square in the capital Tripoli, having spoken to recruits at a police training college.
He has also met Prime Minister Ali Zeidan and President Mohamed Magarief.
At a press conference, he announced that police investigating the 1988 Lockerbie bombing are to visit Libya.
Officers from the Dumfries and Galloway force had been granted permission to visit the country, he said.[/quote]

[quote]Greeted by a band replete with bagpipes, he received strong applause and shouts of "God is great" when he pledged: "In building a new Libya you will have no greater friend than the United Kingdom. We will stand with you every step of the way."
Urging the recruits – arraigned in front of him in a sunlit courtyard – to stick to their job, he said: "There is no real freedom, no real democracy, no real chance of prosperity without proper security. There is no real freedom without honour and honesty," adding: "The most important pledge you make is to uphold the law and fight corruption."
Amid tight security he then walked through Tripoli's main square, Martyr Square, the site of the start of the revolution against Muammar Gaddafi nearly two years ago. He met some of the young revolutionaries that led the uprising, as well as bemused locals.
Cameron was greeted by jostling crowds and Libyans taking photos of him as he discussed the fate of the revolution just 100 yards from Gaddafi's old palace. He was in the square for about 15 minutes in a relatively relaxed walkabout.[/quote]
Now let's try sending Mario Monti, I wanna see what happens.

Goddamnit Guardian, spell check yourselves.
He does look a little on-edge in both the photos in the OP.

It's not called the Grauniad for nothing :v:
Images of Cameron always used to remind me of someone but I couldn't place who, but It just occurred to me.

He looks a lot like Frank Burns.
I read it as him arriving in Syria and I thought "what the fuck is he doing" :v:
