LONDON (Reuters) - British opposition leader David Cameron called into question Russian membership of the Group of Eight on Saturday, saying Moscow's actions in Georgia were incompatible with belonging to the rich nations' club.

"I don't think that a country that behaves in the way Russia has, with tanks rolling across the streets of democratic countries -- that sort of behaviour is not compatible with being a member of the G8," Cameron told the BBC from Tbilisi, where he held talks with Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili.
