Sucking up to the Saudis

Just another reason I feel very disappointed in Starmer.
One of the most misogynistic and regressive societies in the world and we validate that with a begging bowl.

Wake up. British politicians have been doing exactly this since the 70’s and 80’s. Petrodollars were created by British banks and Saudi money has bought up huge parts of Britain since.

But yeah, use this trip as a stick to beat Starmer with. Idiots.

. As you say the former human rights lawyer is towing the same line as every leader before him its an appalling stance

Where was the criticism for Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson and Sunak?

Britain sells billions to the Saudi State in weapons. British media have been silent for years in those weapons being used to bomb the **** out of Yemen.

It is British’s establishment and aristocratic state that will not turn from Saudi money. It is ingrained.

I get it
But, you don’t have to find a way to re build our national infrastructure for the benefit of millions of citizens.

We need ££££ and….. as we have just seen, no one wants to pay extra cash to support it.
We can’t borrow because the money men will trash the markets and lead to increase in interest rates

Options are limited
 
Its interesting how our politicians love standing up in Parliament and saying how bad a recent overthrown dictator was, especially when he was anti-British etc. And then say how they are going to punish him and his mates for crimes etc

Then we look back at what our politicians in the past and how they were friends with some awful leaders and dictators when it suited them: General Pinochet in Chile and Thatcher, Chinese PM taken to the pub by Dave C, White South African PMs and Thatcher.

So let them buy up everthing from properties to companies so we are kowtowing to their tune for eternity we should be looking at displacing ties not strengthening them. We need to become more self reliant as a a nation not sell our souls for a quick buck. Its neoliberal madness to enter partnerships with these regimes . **** sake these middle Eastern states even make a profit out of our children in care.
 
Some people would sell their granny for what is in effect a Phone upgrade. Unfortunately its the way of the World. Many are in power because they don't have high scruples. Women are still waiting for the vote in Saudi and have been waiting for a long time.

And they'll be waiting a long time yet.

A couple of years ago Starmer said that he'd stop the UK selling arms to Saudi if elected. Anyone know how that's going? Guess we can always ask the people of Yemen.

One thing I've learned over the years is that it doesn't matter what colour rosette you wear, you're only in it for one thing.
 
A good percentage of own country and countrymen treat people with very little regard. Voting for the corrupt perverted party time after time.
This was despite knowing how they would treat the sick and poor and less well off people in our society, and knowing what the consequences of voting for these far right greedy selfish what I can only describe as Neo Nazi ruthless - sociopaths/Narcissists
We could name just about every country we deal with is as bad as Saudi Arabia. Even the best pals USA are no better than them. That's the way the world is unfortunately.
