That's the Saudis at the back of the queue for a post Brexit trade deal, that'll learn 'em.

A real slick move from Boris just as Teresa May is out in Bahrain speaking to an Arab summit.

I take it you think Brexit is going to take a while? I think it'll take more than 2 years for Saudi to collapse.

Boris puts his foot in it....again.
Oh dear, another fine mess to clear up... Quote:
Boris Johnson has accused Britain's ally, Saudi Arabia, of engaging in "proxy wars" in the Middle East. But Boris it's an opportunity to export more arms.
The Guardian newspaper has published footage in which the foreign secretary talks of politicians "twisting and abusing religion" for political gain. He said Saudi Arabia and Iran were "puppeteering" because of a lack of strong leadership in the region. The video has emerged as Prime Minister Theresa May returns from a visit to the Gulf where she had dinner with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. |

Politician tells the truth shocker.

Despite him speaking some truth with some morality about Saudi Arabia, the Boris must be looking for the sack, a Conservative pulling off Corbyn momentum politics, the Tory right will roast him.

Only it shows right and left hand of government not joined up. Theresa May is out there after trade deals. Personally I take Boris view and think we are wrong to be begging.
It's a sad day when we're unhappy about a politician speaking out against a fascist regime. |

Has he opposed sales of arms to Saudia Arabia or does he see them as an export opportunity?

What I have learned from liberals this week is that communist China should have complete control over Taiwanese interests and Saudi Arabia should not be criticised! I can only imagine that if Trump brings freedom to the Palestinians he will be the devil for destabilising Israel?
