Britain is ready to allow Colonel Muammar Gaddafi to live out his days in Libya, William Hague said yesterday as he lowered the bar in an attempt to break the current stalemate. In a significant shift of position, the Foreign Secretary said that as long as Colonel Gaddafi no longer held power he could remain in Libya. David Cameron had previously said that the dictator should leave the country and stand trial for war crimes at The Hague. Britain has become increasingly isolated in recent days, however, with France and the Libyan rebels both arguing that in order to make progress they should drop demands for Colonel Gaddafi’s departure.

But the operation has still failed to dislodge the Libyan leader from his compound in Tripoli. The change in tone…

odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part, you can't
even passively take part; and you've got to put your bodies upon the
gears and upon the wheels, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to
