Ignatieff's Family were wealthy and aristocratic, not the normal refugee experience

Micheal Ignatieff shouldn't pretend that his family were something they were not, and then be offended when people point out the falsehood.

I think Coren is going after Glken Becks job... complete lack of credibility... There was no Monarchy, ipso facto there were no "counts". Clear? I gnatieff's grandfather had been an education minister in Czarist Russia... He must have been vastly wealthy. Sure. If you are able to revise history like that... and overlook 'uncomfortable facts' like someones job... You can easily revise numbers. Get the facts straght. Unless of course the fourth estate is the fifth colum...

being part of the "power structure" during and after the Russian Revolution as an "artistocratic" family (Count) means you lost everything (like Hungarian Counts, Yugolslavian counts, Romanian counts etc etc) and were a political refugee. His family did start with very little, but at least with more brains than Coren...whose a media stooge.

If you can't trust him to be honest about his family, can you really trust him to run the country. I think you were just caught in a lie, Michael.

Thanks Michael for bringing Ignatieff's lies to the light of day. Judging by the comments below very few people have seen this.....it's unfortunate.  We have such a poor cast of characters vying for the lead role. Poor leadership - big troubles ahead!
