This should be of interest to the British ruling class who suck Muammar 
Gaddafi's cock.

According to Swiss minister Christa Markwalder, Khadafy will demand that 
Switzerland be wiped off the map when he comes to New York Sept. 23. He 
apparently wants the country to be dismembered and the land parceled out 
among neighbouring France, Germany and Italy.

The Libya-Swiss kerfuffle began a year ago, when Khadafy's youngest son, 
Hannibal Khadafy, and his pregnant wife were arrested in a Geneva luxury 
hotel for beating two servants with a belt and a coat-hanger.

Hannibal Khadafy had previously been busted in both  France and Italy for 
beating a woman and fighting a cop, and once for driving drunk down Paris' 
Champs Elysee at 90 mph  - the wrong way.

Libya retaliated with fury, recalling some diplomats, suspending visas for 
Swiss citizens, withdrawing funds from Swiss banks, shuttering the Tripoli 
office of Nestle and threatening to cut off oil deliveries to Switzerland.

Two Swiss businessmen were barred from leaving the country until Libya 
received an apology for Hannibal's arrest.

Two weeks ago, Swiss President Hans-Rudolf Merz sought to win their release 
after a year by traveling to Triploi to apologize for the arrest.

Libya promised to let the hostages go by Sept. 1 - but reneged. Now Merz is 
fending off calls for his resignation.

Those hostages won't get any help from London, that's for sure.

A dodgy dictator opposing Nestle - now there is a dilemma for student 
union politicians to wrestle with taking sides on.

Gaddafi must have been watching the US's recent argument with the Swiss, and 
decided to provide a little moral support.
