Russophobia, for real...

Met up with my friend last night, one of this country's best journalists who works for one of the world's oldest and most respected publications. She told me how recently, at a meeting where most of her paper's top people were present, the idea came up and was widely and passionately supported to do a set of pieces on Russia. The connecting theme being how much we hate Russians and why. Apparently the word 'hate' was used more than once in this emotional discussion. The range of topics was everything from how Russians made property in the UK unaffordable to evil Russian nature through the centuries. Never thought i'd have to side with Russia's legal representatives, such as the Russian ambassador to the UK who say there is evidence of serious Russophobia in this country. Like my friend says this nation needs to grow up.
