Gordon Brown's now almost legendary indecision has risen its wavering head again. Back in March he promised to meet His Holiness the Dalai Lama in London. We assumed that meant in Downing Street, just like John Major and Tony Blair before him. Looks like we were wrong!

The plan is now for the meeting to take place at Lambeth Palace so that the meeting can be called a religious one. A meeting at Downing Street would send a much stronger signal to China's government that their recent activities in Tibet are not acceptable.
