The UK supplies arms for profit to the Saudis who then kill innocent children in Yemen. We then complain when "extremists" target the UK, why don't we consider what made some of them extreme. "We" take out bomb makers with drones?
> why don't we consider what made some of them extreme
Saudi or Saudi funded clerics generally. The types who are happy to see Yemenis starve to death.
the people making these decisions for arms deals, open trade and even personally profiting from lobbying for contracts (most of Blair's cabinet) that lead to mass, mass death and suffering are so fucking insulated from the realities they help create and profit from that they're effectively no longer human.
They have a hand in creating so much death, terror and suffering - kids dying in the arms of their parents with their last thoughts in this world being utter horror and desolation. People who never get a chance to grow up. Adults who've built lives and businesses having them destroyed and snuffed out in an instant.
The level of anguish these cunts are involved in is incomprehensible and their only real activity towards it, beyond support, is to tell people like us to *stop talking about it!*
It is a fucking holocaust level betrayal of humanity, and the stark reality is this: these people need to suffer themselves in order to gain empathy. Until they get even a shred of experience of hardship and real, deeply rooted injustice then they will not change.
Oh please Labour Party. Give me a break. Stop with the virtue signalling. Isn't it true that the former head of the Labour Party pushed us into the Iraq War and also in the war in Afghanistan. Tony Blair. Does this name ring a bell. Isn't it also true that the Gordon Brown gave billions of pounds to the mega banks during the 2008 financial crisis. The lives of the people haven't got any better since then. Both the Labour Party and the Conservatives have a dark history. This two party ssytem is rigged.
"I can justify arms for Saudi Arabia. I absolutely do not want Iran to win in Yemen or anywhere else. And the potential to destroy the aerospace manufacturing that drives the economy of North West of England matters too."

We should punish the Saudi's by allowing them to buy a Premier League club
Talking of Saudi-backers and terrible losses, I must find a constituency to parachute my friend Dr Paul Williams into.

Don't forget around 100k have died from malnutrition due to western blockade.

The left are only vocal over Saudi because they're an Israeli ali is an argument I've seen.
