@danie10 which is often the case, of course...
A barbaric regime, that you (the UK) created and promoted (before passing the mantle to the USA)...
I mean, the Saud house isn't a creation of the Arab bureau, nor are their will to power, but their conquest of the Arab Cherifian Kingdom is.
Also I recently learned that the UK secret intervention in Yemen, to nip in the bud a threat to Saudi rule, was to topple a regime which abolished slavery (in 1962 !) and restore the king who was OK with slavery...
@lienrag sure, a lot of blame to go around here...
@glynmoody not that this action is at all condoned, but it is doubly worse if nothing at all happens to the man involved…
