It's an easy mistake to make for someone not familiar to Britain and it's terminology. Plus, I'm told that there are Americans that are far worse – ones that don't know the difference between England and New England.

They were Fatah people living in Egypt, not locals.

Can't find where I read it now, but they got some abuse and graphitti from locals in Egypt. Those who should be on your side are often not and much Arab support does seem rather lukewarm. That does suggests something very wrong in Hamas's approach.

The images of the convoy entering were rather impressive, but as one of our readers pointed out earlier, this was not a complete success. Half of the convoy has yet to enter Gaza, this is from their website: "A deal was reached to allow all of the members of the convoy to go through. In the end, Viva Palestina had to make the sacrifice of agreeing that some vehicles will have to cross the border from the Al Ouja Israeli controlled crossing point. This includes our mascot, the fire engine and the boat. This was due to the restrictions imposed by Egyptian law governing the Rafah Crossing." So much for their commitment to not dealing with the Israelis. But I guess it was all to be expected. Hopefully people won't forget about all the stuff that has not made it in… I'm not trying to be a party pooper though – ultimately this was a significant accomplishment. Kudos to everyone involved.

British and Scottish? Nice, Will. You continue to make Americans look like idiots.
