Suicidal Billionaire

Boris, you're getting a little too comfortable in Britain, saying things like that. Didn't you get the point when Scotland Yard dropped all the Litvenenko investigations that if England won't outright help Russia it at the very least won't get in the way. You better make sure UK has a damn good reason to keep you around, but I don't think there's much you can do. Better start planning the funeral.

April 13 (Bloomberg) -- Billionaire Boris Berezovsky said
he's helping to plan a revolution in Russia to overthrow
President Vladimir Putin.
`I am calling for revolution and revolution is always
violent,'' Berezovsky said
Berezovsky, 61, said he was
in contact with members of the Russian political elite who oppose
Putin and is helping finance efforts to oust him.
The billionaire said
today he wanted to restore democracy to Russia by removing what
he described as a ``terrorist regime.''
U.K. authorities made
a ``mistake'' in granting him asylum, Putin's spokesman Dmitry
Peskov said
`It is very hard for us to believe that London is granting
asylum to a man who openly, being on British soil, speaking to
British journalists, demands the use of force and violence in our
country in order to change the existing political system,''
Peskov said.
Russian Prosecutor General Yuri Chaika ordered a new
criminal case be opened against Berezovsky
