Cautious Welcome

The Dalai Lama, who fled Tibet some years ago in order to save himself the trouble of another reincarnation, has accused Britain of not doing enough to support Tibetan autonomy. The Glorious Successor is going to meet the Dalai Lama, but only in his capacity as the "spiritual leader" of the little yellow chaps; the Dalai Lama is considered unfit to cross the hallowed threshold of 10 Downing Street as Gordon's own spiritual leader was recently invited to do. The Dalai Lama claims that Tibet is facing a kind of "cultural genocide" and that people arrested by the Chinese are being subjected to "severe torture before asking questions". Given that they are not being carried out by the Israelis or the Americans, it is just possible that the Glorious Successor may have some objection to these practices.
